From Site Offices in Limpopo to Remote Delivery for Global EPCM Firms

I'm Stephanus (Fanie) Boshoff, a Senior Project Planner with a track record spanning De Beers, Sibanye-Stillwater, Exxaro, and TRANSNET-linked harbour projects. What started as on-site planning at Saldanha Iron Ore Harbour in 2006 has evolved into a remote-first consulting practice serving clients who need senior planning expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire.

During COVID, the shift to remote collaboration proved that world-class planning doesn't require a seat in your site office. Today, I deliver the same rigour — baseline schedules, earned value management, procurement tracking, and executive reporting — via Teams, P6, and cloud-based EPM systems, from Cape Town to Perth, London, and Houston.

Currently completing my BBA (University of the People) and pursuing PMP & PMI-SP certification to formalise the strategic layer I already operate at.
