Mr	Golden Manganyi		Earth Science	Gauteng	Johannesburg
My career began in 2008 at GCS (PTY ) LTD. This is where I gained extensive knowledge and experience in the hydrogeological field as a hydrogelogical technician. I was mainly involved with conducting field investigation such as geophysical investigation (EM, MAG, and Resistivity), aquifer testing, drilling supervision, logging, sampling, data interpretation and technical field reports. I joined Golder Associates Africa in 2011 as a hydrogeotechnical technician with a special focus in water supply projects. I have primary been responsible for field investigation ( Geophysical investigation, drilling supervision, management of both drilling and aquifer testing contractors) , interpretation and field technical reports.
