Excellent career opportunity
A great organisation with a lot of opportunities.There are pockets of excellence,such as the Strategic Sourcing movement.In terms of innovation,a lot of emphasis is spent on R&D and automation.However,pockets of backwardness also exists.Bureacracy is on the rise and it is proving to be very counterproductive.There is also a low morale issue after several restructuring within a short space of time.The insecurity,rigid systems and tough mining sector economy have impacted negatively on the business and its culture.
Pros: Plenty of potential career development
Cons: One gets too comfortable

A wonderfully Diverse and challenging career
AEL has been a challenging and brilliant company to work for. I have had a hugely diverse career starting in explosives manufacture and later representing our products through our Technical services department in support of our mining end user in respect to the use of our explosive products in both narrow reef and and open cast mining. I have had opportunity to grow and get involved with all facets of the business including utility and process plants ranging from primary and secondary explosive manufacturing facilities, Ammonium Nitrate, Nitric acid, ANS, Boiler plant and automated detonator manufacture to name a few. More recently my job as a process engineer to our strategic projects team has allowed me to get into design and feasibility studies where you get to create savings opportunities for the company which are always rich in learnings. I am fortunate that I have never stopped learning. I have usually enjoyed good support for colleagues and management alike.
Pros: Great learning opportunities
Cons: A few too many “Re-structures” recently.
