Nine years running solar and battery rollouts for commercial clients, from first site visit to switch-on. I keep contractors, finance and the client's operations team working from the same plan.
Figures come from project close-out reports. Client names are withheld; supporting documents are available on request.
Each one shows the problem, what I did about it, and how it ended.
Nine stores across three provinces needed to switch over without closing a single trading day.
Delivered three weeks early. Stores stayed open throughout, and the client signed for a second phase.
Stock losses during outages were costing more each month than the backup system would.
Zero stock lost to outages in the first year, with payback tracking at under three years.
Inherited a project four months late, with two contractors in dispute and the budget 18% over.
Reset the plan in six weeks, settled the dispute, and closed within 4% of the revised budget.
A single weekly view for contractors, finance and the client, so nobody is working off an old version.
Risks go to the client the day I spot them, together with what we're doing about them.
Every site briefing starts with safety, and nobody is penalised for stopping work they think is unsafe.
Commercial solar and storage programmes of up to R48m and 14 sites.
Rooftop solar for retail and logistics clients across Gauteng and KZN.
Coordinated contractors, SHEQ files and handover packs.
I'm looking for senior programme roles in renewable energy. My CV and references are available on request.
