This month we feature women in mining. For Sne, engineering has never been just about designing equipment; it's about developing winning solutions that bring projects to life.
Over the past decade, I have built my career around proposal and tender engineering, combining technical knowledge with commercial strategy to develop competitive bids for complex mining, mineral processing, and water treatment projects across Africa and internationally.
What excites me most is the challenge that every enquiry brings. No two tenders are ever the same; every proposal requires understanding the client's needs, evaluating technical risks, developing innovative solutions, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, and creating a commercially competitive offer. There is an incredible sense of achievement in knowing that months of collaboration and hard work have resulted in a successful award.
Today, as a Sales Engineer at Roytec Global, I have had the opportunity to work on multi-million-rand and multi-million-dollar mining projects, supplying solid/liquid separation equipment in the mineral processing solutions for operations across Africa, Europe and North America. While winning bids is always rewarding, what motivates me most is knowing that the solutions we develop will support our clients' operations for many years to come.
As a woman in engineering, I hope my journey encourages more young women to pursue careers in technical and commercial roles within our industry. Engineering needs diverse perspectives, and proposal engineering demonstrates that success is not only built on technical expertise but also on collaboration, strategic thinking, and perseverance.
Every bid tells a story. My passion is turning engineering ideas into winning proposals that create opportunities for our business, our clients, and the future of our industry.
