Lynne Pretorius
Consulting Engineers South Africa (Cesa) has appointed ITS Engineers director Lynne Pretorius as president for the next two years.
“South Africa is on a dynamic trajectory that requires visionary leadership and flexibility from all stakeholders and role-players to adapt to the changing and challenging environment currently prevailing,” she said, while also stating her commitment to getting Cesa’s house in order and encouraging members to submit quality bids and be open and honest about corruption.
“Concerted effort is required from all of us to address the imbalances of the past, thus creating a South Africa that everyone is proud of. Government requires us to transform our industry. We realise this is a long-term process but we have to align ourselves to leverage business opportunities,” she pointed out.
Pretorius held a BSc Engineering (Civil) and M Engineering (Transportation) from the University of Cape Town and has worked in the private and public sectors in the engineering industry for 22 years, specialising in transportation engineering, with a focus on sustainable transport modes and integration between transport and land use.
