I am a Civil Engineering Technologist and a Construction Project Management professional. I specialise in construction project management of multi-disciplinary civil infrastructure projects

How can Built Environment Professionals emulate the late Nelson Mandela by using their personal experience to impact the industry?

I strongly believe in mentorship and continued personal development, the moment we as professionals stop learning and equipping ourselves with relevant knowledge we would automatically cease to be of any influence in the industry.
