Afrimat Reviews

 

Already an asset

I am a young and developing Chemical Engineer and studying towards my national diploma and completed fourth level (S4) At the University of South Africa in 2012. Previously I was an Assistant Metallurgist at Glencore Eland platinum Mine. I set very high standards for myself and the people around me. I am much focused on accomplishing tasks, but very aware of the necessity of teamwork to accomplish results. I consider myself a very hardworking; leader and I value integrity and honesty. Although I am very result driven, my strong people skills and focus on building effective relationships in the work context, will make an excellent asset for any organisation. I am willing to learn, work hard and do whatever it will take to follow a successful career in any company. I am motivated by challenges and I work well under pressure. I am well organized and good at handling and presenting data, I also have good communication skills with a good command in English.

Pros: Career Development
Cons: working hours

Good learning curve, and new programmes learnt

A typical workday is mainly daily orders, but most orders are on breakdown so your day is really hectic, because if production stands it costs the mine money. Long working hours from 6am to 4Pm I have gained a lot of new knowledge on new systems used for procurement. Most challenging is to get materials and stock on the mine as in Yesterday because of breakdowns

Pros: Good company Good salary
Cons: Retrenchment possibilities and also no promotion possibilities, long working hours and the travelling

Excellent learning Curve

Working for Afrimat has been a good learning curve,the coworkers are friednly and helpful. Working hours was also good and reasonable. I have learned the afrimat values applied was with utmost respect at the workplace. I enjoyed most of the motivations that comes from the Top management, all the way to the labourers. Most challenging moment was when the Covid19 striked the Country and employees where traumatized about the pandemic.

Excellent cohesion

The company that i am currently employed at blast stone, crust it and build blocks to sell them to the other companies like build-it. As HR we have to make sure that everything is in order and that employees are taken care of, employees are complying. The relationship as HR department is very united,we are a family we prefer to remain united so that work can progress. A typical day would be working with employees, having meetings and going to disciplinary hearing. I have learnt that in order for the work to progress successfully, one need to work with others and put her effort. i enjoy growing when i have a meetings and working with people.

Pros: you get the opportunity to get trained so that you grow within the industry
Cons: You get to do over time when needed and it nice cause it team work
