Van 1982 tot 2000 was hy direkteur van Tegniese Dienste in Mamusa, waar hy diep kennis van plaaslike infrastruktuur, munisipale stelsels en praktiese dienslewering opgedoen het. Daarna het hy van 2000 tot 2026 as delwerybestuurder gewerk. Sy loopbaan kombineer tegniese oordeel, personeel- en operasionele bestuur, probleemoplossing en verantwoordelikheid vir veilige uitvoering. Martiens ken Mamusa se geskiedenis \u00e9n sy huidige uitdagings en bied ervare, kalm en resultaatgerigte leierskap vir die herstel van Schweizer-Reneke en omliggende gemeenskappe.<\/p>","testimonial_quote":"<p>\u201cEk het Mamusa se tegniese dienste van binne geken en weet dat water, elektrisiteit, riool, paaie en stormwater nie met noodherstelwerk alleen bestuur kan word nie. Elke netwerk het \u2019n volledige bateregister, bevoegde span, onderhoudsrooster, noodvoorraad en verantwoordelike bestuurder nodig. My jare as direkteur van Tegniese Dienste en later as delwerybestuurder het my geleer dat veiligheid, voorbereiding en streng opvolg saamgaan. Ek wil daardie ervaring gebruik om swak beplanning uit te daag, herstelwerk teen gehalte te toets en te help verseker dat inwoners weer op betroubare basiese dienste kan
