Jan Hendrik Kleynhans

Application Engineer

Modena AEC

Jan Hendrik is a structural applications engineer. Seeing an intricate steel structure is what started his appetite in high school – He walked into a large steel warehousing unit and looked up, and thought to himself “I want to be part of the process to create these…”.

Jan Hendrik started out his career in the mechanical industry, designing and developing water drill rigs, but never lost sight of his dream to be involved in the structural industry.

He feels very blessed to realised that dream and have been a structural draughtsperson for many years, during this time he worked on numerous projects from small to large, from shopping centres to warehouses. Jan Hendrik loves all forms of new technology, especially if it improves quality of life.
In his spare time, he is a regular online gamer and a car enthusiast – if there is a car show in town, you’ll find him there, and if they have Chicken Korma, he’ll consider it a perfect day!
