Direct project planning experience in Rail, Tunnels, large structures;  mining, process plants, pipelines;  teach junior planners and planners (and engineers); interact with project players at ALL levels from client's senior person to senior and junior engineers -  all disciplines including rock mechanics, process, mechanical, electrical, C&I, civil and structural. 

Particularly good at translating text into pictures: schematics, graphs, photos, bar charts, tables, etc.:  less text and more pictures.   Can entirely produce a monthly report of high quality.    Excellent use of Powerpoint due to being a 2nd year Communications student.  examples available.

Can plan from very sketchy info, e.g. a short description and some drawings.  

Now too old and experienced to work under another planner.  

I consider myself to be one of the best Primavera planners in South Africa, but ask referees on my CV.
