- Managing different project of different capital sizes through the different phases as Senior Project Engineer based on the PMBOK model in the corporate world. Climbing out of the corporate race, I started my own business optimizing buildings big and small to be Greener being more Energy efficiency. Greener buildings are promising a better future for all mankind by saving our planet from pollution to generate energy and then spend it efficient. - Previously Managing projects like: - Feasibility study of expanding the Mozambique Gas Pipeline (R15 million) - Executing the “Standby Heat Exchangers” at the Tar Plant – Secunda (R8 million) - Manage the Feasibility Study on the “Dusty Air Cooler Replacement” (R10 million) - Manage the Pre-feasibility of the “Oxygen Saturation” project” (R4 million) - Manage the successful implementation of the “Strainers and Backwash Lines” (R3 million) - Manage the Basic Engineering of the “Underground Gasification” (R40 million) - Manage the Feasibility phase of the “Raw Gas Transfer Line” (R1.6 million) I always say that the size of a project does not matter as much as “continuous applying of basic principles and to love working with people”. I have also done the following (in summary): - I helped many people making their houses comfortable by insulating it with the 100% Green product Therm Guard. - Having extensive experience is project management (big and small), I am looking forward to help companies and businesses to turn their buildings (office blocks, malls and recreation facilities) in greener and healthier buildings, by consulting on most efficient use of energy, sufficient ventilation and insulating it to preserve the move to more comfortable buildings all year long. - I was a Project Manager of various small and bigger projects in different phases of these projects. - Complete a “Program in Project Management” (PPM) course successfully at the University of Pretoria. - Facilitate and develop the technical drivers needed for the new Honeywell software i.e. KPI Manager as well as the driver specifications for Project Champion at Sasol. - Responsible for the projections and managing of steam usage in the Sasol Secunda plant - Complete phase one of MBA at Potchefstroom (North West) University. - Prioritise the Project list at Utilities by implementing modifications to the system. - Changed a Utility steam project that would have cost an enormous R 11 million to less than R10 000 (implemented). - I worked as Process Engineer before moving over to project Management because of my preference of working with people. - Experience and exposure to process equipment in the plant both at Natref Refinery and Sasol One as Process Controller. - Operation Knowledge on gas compressors, distillation columns, heat exchangers furnaces and boilers. - Troubleshooting of the Cresylic acid and paraffin plants during start-up of the newly build plant.
