Summary

My professional journey began in a dynamic on-site environment managing diverse subcontractors across three distinct projects. Transitioning into consulting, responsibilities included measurement, translation, and compilation of tenders, estimates, and BOQs for residential and commercial properties in Romania. Subsequently, the career path entered the MEP sector as a Project Manager, initially focusing on Quantity Surveying tasks within electrical installations in Cape Town, South Africa. This role has since advanced to encompass Cost and Contract Administration within the mining sector in the DRC. Currently, overseeing contracts for an Anglo American Mine at Polokwane Smelter in South Africa, with active participation in both pre-contract and post-contract management phases under the NEC contract framework.
