About
With over 30 years of experience in structural, mechanical, and civil design. I am a highly skilled Senior Draughtsman and 3D Modeller specialising in mining, industrial, and construction projects. I bring a deep understanding of design standards, modelling techniques, and fabrication processes, consistently delivering detailed 2D drawings and advanced 3D models that align with complex engineering specifications. My background spans mechanical seals, hydraulic systems, electric arc furnaces, structural supports, and ore handling infrastructure across Southern Africa and abroad. Proficient in AutoCAD, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, Inventor, Navisworks and Vault. I’ve led design efforts from concept through to fabrication and commissioning. I possess strong interpersonal and leadership abilities, enabling effective coordination with multidisciplinary teams, project stakeholders, and clients. My organisational skills, attention to detail, and technical insight ensure the timely and precise delivery of high-quality engineering documentation across all project phases
