Likho Sithembele Ndaba
Pretoria
Summary
I am a dynamic and driven Civil Engineering graduate, registered with ECSA as a Candidate Engineer, with a solid academic foundation from the University of Pretoria and a full year of hands-on construction experience. Over the past year, I have worked as a Quality Control Officer on a large-scale wind farm project, where I developed a sharp eye for detail, strong site coordination abilities, and a deep understanding of compliance — all essential for successful project execution.
My experience has strengthened my interest in design, feasibility assessments, and project management, where I can combine analytical problem-solving with practical site exposure to deliver efficient and well-considered engineering solutions. I am now eager to join a dynamic engineering firm where I can contribute meaningfully to infrastructure development, broaden my technical capabilities, and continue progressing toward my Pr.Eng registration.
I am ready to take on new challenges, add value from day one, and grow into a well-rounded engineering professional.
