Hire the Best Industrial Engineers
in South Africa

I’m an Industrial Engineer with over five years’ experience in product design, mechanical and civil drafting, and end-to-end CAD development. I take product ideas from concept through detailed design and produce clean, manufacturable models using SolidWorks, Inventor, Revit, AutoCAD and VectorWorks. I keep design and drafting best practices up to date and pride myself on delivering efficient, attractive, and user-focused products. Beyond mechanical design, I also deliver industrial automation solutions. I’m skilled in PLC programming (ladder logic, function block, structured text), HMI/SCADA integration, PLC commissioning and troubleshooting, and industrial communications (e.g., Modbus/TCP). I link mechanical designs to control systems so the final product is not only well-built but smart and easy to operate.

I am a highly experienced technical writer, researcher, editor, proofreader, and translator with more than 30 years of experience. I have a BA degree in English from the University of London and a Diploma in Technical Communication from the University of Johannesburg. I have worked for major international corporations such as Siemens, General Electric, Nishu Iwa, Leo Burnett, and Agusta, among others. I always strive to exceed my client's expectations.

I help brands launch and scale physical products with stable supply, strong quality, and tight cost control. I have more than 20 years of experience running supply chain, procurement, planning, logistics, and production operations in fast-moving consumer goods. I source products, manage factories, and keep stock healthy using simple tools and strong routines. I work hands-on. I solve issues fast and keep suppliers accountable. My focus is: right product, right cost, right quality, in stock. Key strengths: * Sourcing wellness-grade FMCG products * Negotiating with manufacturers * Factory capability and quality management * Production planning and demand planning * Inventory control and cost tracking * International freight and 3PL management * Setting up SOPs and KPI dashboards * Removing stock-outs and reducing COGS If you need a supply chain partner who can take ownership of the full product engine, I can help.
