Affiliations and Accreditations
ECSA
We strive that all our Professional Engineers are registered with ECSA (The Engineering Council of South Africa). Professional registration assures the public that that an Engineer’s competence has been assessed by other professionals, who are knowledgeable in their field of expertise. We encourage young and Graduate Engineers to register as Candidates with ECSA in order to assist them to become Professional Engineers. ECSA’s primary role is the regulation of the engineering profession in terms of the Engineering Profession Act, 2000, (Act 46 of 2000) as well as other relevant Acts.
Mentoring and Skills Development
In order for Skills Development and Transfer to occur within the Civil Engineering industry, there must be a Skills Development and transfer strategy. Therefore, Endecon Ubuntu has developed its own in-house document and associated Skills Development programme to serve as a guideline on how to address Skills Development in the Company. Young professionals / employees and recent graduates are the most affected people who lack skills and shall benefit from ourprogramme. As part of the strategy a Skills Audit Plan, Skills Development- and Transfer Plan, and subsequent associated interaction of stakeholders have been developed andfacilitated. The involvement of employees and graduates in the decision-making,skills development programmes, and research & development, will all help in developing and transferring skills. We believe that when our experienced Civil Engineering practitioners and acknowledged industry experts retire, young professionals will have / should havegarnered enough experience and knowledge in the field in order to be independent, trusted and reliable Civil Engineers with the necessary technical knowledge and know-how to ensure the implementation of safe, sustainable, and efficient / reliable engineering solutions and infrastructure.
