From 1 January 2016 onward, Ferdi Nell will lead all of Aurecon’s Africa operations, having transitioned from his previous role as Delivery Centre Manager: Cape Town. Albert Geldenhuys, currently Aurecon’s MD for South Africa, will retire at the end of June 2016 after 36 years of service to Aurecon and its predecessors, but will continue to support Nell in his new role until then.
Geldenhuys will also continue to serve on the boards of Aurecon Group Pty Ltd and Aurecon South Africa (Pty) Ltd until his retirement.
Nell, who has over three decades of experience in the engineering industry and has held several pivotal management roles, brings to the table a unique blend of technical and managerial experience, combined with a strong ability to successfully manage both people and project resources to meet and exceed projected outcomes.
Nell is also a professionally registered electrical engineer whose experience encompasses power system planning, network master planning, electrification design and refurbishment planning as well as programme and project management.
“Africa is a continent of immense potential characterised by a desire to innovate and prosper. We, as Aurecon, are committed to unlocking this potential by providing our clients and business partners with engineering, management, advisory and specialist technical solutions differentiated by client service excellence and a desire to continually innovate,” says Nell.
