Letter of Introduction for Jacobus du Plessis
I am a South African citizen, 51 years of age residing in the Republic of South Africa.
Currently on the Transnet NMPP project for the new O&G pipeline as site manager.
Responsible for all facility and operations management, accommodation, F&B services and transportation sector on the project.
I have completed a four (4) year tour in Iraq in 2008 on the Coalitions Munitions Clearance Program with Parsons Infrastructure & Technology, Pasadena, California under guidance of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Huntsville, Alabama. They have been the client as well in this regard.
The multinational and cultural environment has also enabled me to connect and communicate with the different nationalities and form good working and friendship ties.
Previous experience in most of the SADC African countries for close to 10 years has also enabled me to connect and communicate with the African nation and better understanding of their culture.
I am fully computer literate and able to compile precise reports on all aspects of a project.
