Summary
Jaco Naude is a Turnover & Pre-Commissioning Manager with 15 years of hands-on experience delivering large-scale projects across South Africa, the Middle East, Kazakhstan, Namibia and Botswana. He blends military discipline from service in the British Army with deep technical expertise in welding, inspection, QA/QC and HSEQ to drive safe, auditable handovers on complex turnarounds and outages. As a leader at Fluor, Jacobs and other EPCM contractors he has managed multidisciplinary teams and coordinated commissioning activities on high-stakes installations including GTL and oxygen train projects.

He is based in the Western Cape and known for turning operational complexity into clear, confidence-inspiring outcomes.
