Pierre Kriegler (CFPROF) SAFMA

With over a decade (12 years) experience in facilities management, I have consistently demonstrated exceptional skills and abilities in various areas of the field. As a certified facilities professional, I have earned and achieved a 100% pass on the NEBOSH International General Certificate in Occupational Safety & Health (Risk Assessment), my calmness under pressure was evident when I successfully directed staff during a fire incident (Sandton Skye), ensuring the safety of occupants and efficient system re-commissioning in under 3-4 hours.

I possess strong project management expertise, as evidenced by my involvement in construction requirements for new high-rise developments, enabling on-time completion without overruns. My commitment to facility management best practices resulted in near 100% compliance during fire mitigation inspections and substantial cost savings (Insurance) for the Sandton Skye. I have also excelled in policy implementation, drafting comprehensive standard operating procedures and emergency action plans, including a COVID compliance process.

In my current role as Head of Facilities at Capemay Properties, I have established a new facilities management division and currently manage the Signature (Mixed commercial & residential) in Accra, Ghana. Previously, as Facilities Manager at Sandton Skye, I provided strong leadership for a luxury high-rise residential apartment block, overseeing security, (Authored an SOP) maintenance, and compliance with regulations. As an Estate Manager at Sandhurst Towers, I successfully managed overall operations, implemented a turn-around strategy, and initiated cost-effective refurbishments.

In summary, I offer a factual record in facilities management and various other career paths which I have been involved in, encompassing: Emergency Action Planning (Authored an Emergency Action Plan), Communication & Presentations skills, Strategic thinking & planning, Regulatory Compliance & risk management, leadership & stakeholder engagement, budgeting, sustainability practices & ESG.
