A small practice. A specific standard.
RKT is deliberately small. A principal engineer in Cape Town, supported by a vetted network of specialist contractors brought in by name when a brief demands depth outside the core bench. This structure is not a stepping stone to a larger firm. It is the structure. Serious engineering does not scale linearly with headcount.
Isheanesu Makhuza
Isheanesu founded RKT Engineering Consultants in 2021 during his final year of university, and has dedicated himself to the practice ever since, growing it from a one-person studio into a recognised mechanical engineering consultancy serving marine, industrial, and brand-manufacturing clients.
His day-to-day work spans parametric CAD in SolidWorks, Fusion, and Inventor; CAM programming for 3-, 4-, and 5-axis machining centres; tooling design for marine and industrial applications; and hands-on production oversight. He has led engagements with yacht builders, industrial manufacturers, hospitality architecture firms, and brand-manufacturing programmes at global scale.
Beyond RKT, Isheanesu maintains adjacent ventures in HVAC consultancy and engineering education, a deliberately broad practice that keeps technical judgement sharp across disciplines.

By application
Active search. Two regions.
As RKT's international engagements grow, we are actively seeking named associate engineers in two key regions: Europe (UK and EU) and the Middle East (UAE and wider GCC). The ideal associate runs an established independent practice with demonstrable client networks, deep CAD/CAM technical credentials, and the disposition to deliver to RKT's standard under the RKT brand.
If that is you, or someone in your network, the path begins with a conversation.
A wider network for the work that needs it.
Beyond the principal, RKT maintains working relationships with specialist contractors. Marine naval architects, FEA specialists, composite engineers, CNC manufacturers, brought in by name when a brief demands depth outside the core bench. Every collaborator is vetted, every engagement is managed by RKT, and every deliverable ships under our quality standard.
