An accomplished and respected Executive with more than 30 years Human Resources and Employee Relations experience. Having served my employer, Group Five, for 25 years I gained extensive experience in managing HR operations for large scale Operations in the Construction Engineering and Manufacturing Industry within 22 countries (e.g. Africa, Indian Ocean Islands, Middle East and Eastern Europe). Experience includes mobilisation of resources for mega US $ construction projects with both local and expat labour components in countries such as Ghana, Mozambique, Tanzania, Namibia, Algeria, the DRC, Angola, Nigeria, and Dubai - with an overall work force peaking at circa 16 500 employees. Have strong management, leadership and operational skills and advanced Coaching Mentorship and staff development skills. At Group Five I was responsible for the management of 15 Business Unit HR Leads (Directors or Managers ) and a Functional department with more than 90 direct personnel and numerous project-based site HR administrative employees. Having extensive ER/IR experience, I held lead roles in numerous industry negotiations with local Unions such as NUM, AMCU, CAWU, BCAWU AUBTW SATAWU, GIWUSA, and PPAWU and dealt with all aspects of labour management. Have been responsible for the implementation/project management (HR/IR) of many mergers, acquisitions and disposals with the subsequent requisite change management and restructuring processes having successfully taken place.
