About Petrus Botes

Energetic, committed and highly motivated manager with multi-functional engineering, maintenance and operations management experience in mining, minerals processing, large manufacturing, supply chain and utility operations. Strategic in approach with demonstrated success in driving asset and operational improvements that meet best practice safety and engineering standards while focusing on quality, innovation, and reliability. Combines hands-on and thorough understanding of engineering and asset management with commercial acumen. Inspiring leader with a proven commitment to developing leaders and creating collaborative environments where trust and respect are central, and achievements rewarded. My key skills include asset and operations management & improvement, customer engagement, entrepreneurship and engineering. In the work I do, I see organisations struggle with five key problems: 1. Achieving a sustainable paradigm shift in asset performance. Getting the full added value of personnel skills and experience. Effectively delivering best bang for buck on asset investment. Continually delivering as promised to their shareholders. Delivering services that keep customers positively engaged. By providing leadership and effective management, I am able to take people on a journey through these challenges, so that they: 1. Build an efficient and effective operation underpinned by a reliable and effcicent asset base. Have personal achievement beyond their expectations. Build a reputation of delivering as promised and being best in the business at what they do. For me. the ultimate result is an economically sustainable operation with employees that take ownership and pride in being there.
