Bio
Tshifhiwa Dzhaudzhau
Sandhisha was my client during the construction of Aggeneys PV Solar Energy Facility, where I was the designated Environmental Control Officer for the project. During this time, she has demonstrated her knowledge of the South African legislation governing the environment in South Africa, excelled in managing the contractor, and has provided guidance to the team whenever required. I was privileged enough to work within Sandhisha’s team as an Environmental Supervisor for Aggeneys and Konkoonsies II Solar Energy Facilities during operation wherein she was a Group's HSE Team lead. During this time, she demonstrated her leadership skills by providing guidance to the entire HSE team, innovations towards team performance, resolving HSE issues, and ensuring all facilities complied with the COVID-19 regulations. She achieved these with compassion for her team and created a space where expression of views was easier for everyone. With that said and having worked closely with Sandhisha, I am confident that Sandhisha would be a valuable and reliable member of your organisation.

I had the pleasure of working with Sandhisha for a four-year period and, quite frankly, would have been really happy to have worked with her for much longer, if I had the chance. Sandhisha is someone who made a remarkable impression, from the get go & certainly lived up to (in fact exceeded) the excellence she demonstrated... as early as her interview (from the many interviews I have been involved in over the years, I still remember Sandhisha’s clearly because she was so impressive). She was a committed team player who strived for excellence in all that she did and could always be relied on to get work done independently. She always asked the right questions and always took on any task asked of her, no matter how difficult, with the greatest care and diligence. All her work was of excellent standard – she made sure of this. She is structured and organised and her desire to work smartly, while preserving the highest quality, was at the forefront of her mind - a silly example being when she implemented (without being asked to by anyone) various online tools that allowed for greater efficiencies across her team (and which other teams adopted too). Effective and clear communication came very easily to Sandhisha and she was not easily intimidated by anyone – an extremely important trait to navigate within an industry that, at times, has very aggressive characters that must be engaged. She did this while still being able to laugh and not take herself too seriously all the time. She has the perfect blend of the characteristics that make her an absolute pleasure to work with. Team members (those who reported to her and those she reported to) all respected Sandhisha for her values, the excellence in her work and her work ethic and, while this recommendation is my own, I can guarantee that many others who worked with her would share my sentiments. Any organisation would be extremely lucky to have a self-starting, independent super star like Sandhisha, on their team!
