Resume Summary

My career started in 2001 immediately after I obtained my National Diploma in Building Science as a Junior Quantity Surveyor. I obtained my B-Tech in Quantity Surveying in 2007 followed by a BSc Hons in Quantity Surveying in 2024 at the University of Johannesburg. I am currently involved in a roads and earthworks project for SANRAL in the Eastern Cape as a Quantity Surveyor for Rumdel Construction. I am skilled in analyzing and negotiating client contracts using the JBCC, FIDIC, and NEC forms, issuing notices with the extension of time claims, subcontractors appointments, interim payments applications, pricing variation orders, final accounts, and cost reports. I also had an opportunity to successfully manage the B-BBEE portfolio with my previous company which included the vetting of suppliers nationally, validation of B-BBEE certificates and issuing a preferential procurement spend report for verification.

Accomplishments

  • Acquired the BSc Hons working full time in a year
