About Deborah

Phone verified

I am a registered Environmental Assessment Practitioner with the Environmental Assessment Practitioners Association of South Africa and a registered Professional Natural Scientist with the South African Council for Natural Scientific Professions. I have been in the environmental management field for over 18 years, working on small-scale developments through to large infrastructure (transport, water and power) and manufacturing projects. I have participated in the full project lifecycle, from conceptual, pre-feasibility and feasibility stages through to conducting Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and, finally, to environmental compliance monitoring and auditing of environmental authorisations and Water Use Licences during construction and operation. During the conceptual to feasibility stages, my involvement has included the development of environmental and social design criteria, identification of environmental risks (“red flags”) and initial stakeholder identification and engagement. I have managed basic environmental assessments through to full EIAs involving numerous specialist studies and iterative interaction with project design teams. I have worked as both an environmental control officer (ECO) and an Environmental Manager overseeing ECOs for large-scale construction projects, monitoring multiple contractors’ compliance to environmental permits and approved Environmental Management Programmes (EMPrs). I have also acted as lender’s technical advisor, conducting the environmental and social due diligence for projects seeking international finance. I have experience on projects in Cameroon, Ghana, Indonesia, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Namibia, Nigeria, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Swaziland and Tanzania.
