Combining my previous skills in the energy consulting and nuclear
industries, I have the advantage of being able to solve complex
problems and to develop a solution based on client requirements.

The bulk of my time here was involved in Koeberg Nuclear Power Station where I learnt how to pay attention to detail, construct technical documentation and work in a team of multi-disciplinary professionals.
