Previous experience
Adrian started his career in the brick and tile manufacturing
industry where he worked briefly as a production manager before
joining the automotive and fuels R&D and testing industry. He spent
the next 8 years here as a designer, test engineer and project
manager for 2 consulting firms, Engineering Research, and what is
now Cape Advanced Engineering (CAE). After leaving CAE, Adrian
worked as a self-employed IT consultant for 3 years, mainly active
in systems development for the asset management industry but
sporadically active in vehicle emissions consulting for clients that
included the South African Petroleum Industry Association and the
City of Cape Town. After spending a further 2 years in IT systems
development, employed by PSG Asset Management, Adrian returned to
energy related engineering at the ERC at the end of 2011.
