Engineering Excellence Rooted in Community
KhaiNam Engineering is more than a name—it’s a promise to our region and its people. Born in the industrious town of Aggeneys in 2014, our company stands as a tribute to the Khai-Ma and Nama Khoi municipalities. We are proud to deliver tailored engineering solutions that bring comfort, reliability, and empowerment to mining and township environments.
KhaiNam Engineering began not in a boardroom, but on the ground—through hands-on experience and an unwavering commitment to service. Three determined local entrepreneurs saw an opportunity to transform the former Schoeman Engineering Works into something greater: a business that’s locally owned, passionately managed, and deeply invested in the community. By purchasing the company as a going concern, they reimagined its purpose and dedicated it to making a lasting impact in the region.
Meet The Founder
At the heart of KhaiNam Engineering is Jenny Dirkse, an entrepreneur whose journey from employee to owner is a testament to courage and resilience. Jenny’s technical expertise, paired with her keen understanding of local industry needs, fuels our mission every day. Together with her co-directors, she has turned skepticism into trust, growing KhaiNam Engineering into a pillar of reliability for over a decade. Jenny’s leadership is hands-on, her vision unwavering, and her commitment to excellence inspires our entire team.
