Summary
As a Senior Electrical Design Engineer and Professional Engineer with over a decade of experience in building services, I have extensive expertise in electrical engineering, project management, and multidisciplinary coordination across South Africa and the United Kingdom. I have successfully delivered projects in the healthcare, commercial, residential, hospitality, education, government, industrial, retail, and data centre sectors. Most recently, I worked remotely from Cape Town for a UK-based consulting engineering firm, delivering electrical building services designs for NHS healthcare facilities and specialist hospital projects. This role enabled me to develop a strong understanding and practical application of British Standards, UK regulations, HTM guidance, and healthcare engineering best practices. My expertise includes electrical building services design, load and fault level calculations, cable sizing, lighting design (Relux and DIALux), power distribution, fire detection, CCTV, access control, cost estimation, bills of quantities, and project delivery from concept through construction. I am committed to delivering innovative, compliant, and cost-effective engineering solutions while collaborating effectively with multidisciplinary teams to achieve exceptional project outcomes.
