Our Engineers & Drafting Team
The services that Orana Engineering typically performs are varied and therefore our personnel are flexible, practical and most importantly good communicators.
The "breadcrumb" jobs and brownfield projects are challenges that are enjoyed by Orana Engineering personnel,
however these challenges are not suited to everyone. Orana Engineering is very proud of its team of people and appreciates that its success and its future depends on them.
A major strength of Orana Engineering is the practical experience and the site operations experience that its personnel bring into any of its designs.
Following is a brief introduction to some of Orana Engineering’s key personnel.
