Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Alexander is a Principal Professional Officer specializing in infrastructure planning and sustainability, with eight years of focused experience across greenfield and brownfield projects, informal settlement upgrades, and pre-feasibility project appraisal. Based in the Western Cape, he blends technical rigor (BSc Civil Engineering) with strategic sustainability insight from an MPhil at the University of Cambridge. His career spans municipal and consultancy roles—City of Cape Town, Pegasys, Zutari and Aurecon—where he has moved between hands-on engineering and engagement management. He is a passionate urbanist and lateral thinker who applies inquisitive, systems-level thinking to align infrastructure options with social and environmental goals. Known for pragmatic, context-sensitive solutions across the African continent, he often surfaces non-obvious trade-offs in early-stage planning that materially improve long-term project viability.
