Nomzuzu Vezi

I am a highly motivated and accomplished young lady with a strong academic background and a passion for excellence. I hold undergraduate and honors degrees in Construction Studies and Construction Management, respectively, from the University of Witwatersrand. My experience spans pre-contract duties (tendering, capex estimations, adjudication of tenders), contract administration, financial modeling, and project financing in mining engineering and infrastructure sectors (real estate, building refurbishments, water infrastructure, social housing, and renewable energy).

I have excelled in various complex project environments, demonstrating my ability to solve complex problems, collaborate effectively, and assist in driving projects to success. Beyond my eagerness to learn and contribute to impactful projects, outside of work I find joy in watching documentaries, reading and staying active through hiking and dancing (great excuse for not joining the gym)!
