Business Development Manager Africa @ Codra — CODRA Panorama Suite SCADA platform (SCADA • Historian • Cybersecurity) — Johannesburg, South Africa

Panorama as a convergence platform for Africa

I help utilities, industry, transport, buildings and data centres deploy CODRA Panorama Suite as a manufacturer‑independent platform: SCADA, utilities, BMS, security integration, OT/IT convergence and unified control centres.

Broad market entry points

In Africa, projects rarely stay in one silo. I support opportunities that begin as BMS, SCADA or security and grow into energy, reporting, and central supervision programs.

Manufacturer independence

Panorama unifies mixed installed bases and avoids OEM lock‑in. That gives end users freedom of choice, longer lifecycle value, and stronger negotiation power.

Edge‑to‑Service for real conditions

Designed for distributed sites, phased rollouts and hybrid architectures, while keeping control close to operations and enabling remote supervision at scale.

Local partnerships that build trust

Growth in Africa is partner‑led. We are seeing repeat referrals, inbound demand and recommendations thanks to strong local integrator relationships.
