Growth

The work environment at ACSA (Airports Company South Africa) is a great place and my co-workers they are wonderful people and always will to help. I have learned so many things like which vendors support what within the Airport. And if a client is not sure I always go an extra-mile by investigating and provide the necessary information to the client without wasting anyone's time. What I enjoy the most about my job is making someone else day great, I always try my best to make that person feel welcomed. Because I believe whatever good thing we do end up building us. Most challenging aspect is when someone doesn't want to give me a chance to help them, meaning she/he wasn't getting the correct information, but in that case I always advise the user as well if ever I am not sure about something then I will investigate and provide more detailed information. Other than wasting someone time.

Pros: Team work
Cons: Working extra hour without being notified.

MV-LV maintenance, Supervision, Istallations and Commisioning, Testing and Certification

With the team reporting to myself, we are responsible for continuous supply of electricity to the airport to make aviation possible. We are therefore responssible for Substation maintenance, Distribution Board, Generators for back up supply and UPS supply. As a supervisor I schedule maintenance programs for both the team and the contractors on site. As we are also responssible for supervision of contractors, we also do project management. I am also responssible for daily routines for staff members that report to myself.

Pros: in 2013 I was appointed as 1st/Supervisor Electrician from Senior Electrician position. I was promoted before from Electrician to Senior Elkectrician in 2008.
Cons: Before I was promoted to Supervisor position I worked 7 years as a shift worker, doing 12 hours for 4 days in a week.

Not adaptive to best practice and evolving trends

I love a challenging environment that forces me to stretch my knowledge and skills, however I also respect mature organisations that adapt to 21st Century trends and truly puts people first. I believe that role clarity and having set and clear expectations which are openly communicated, gives one room to succeed and thrive. I also believe that trusting people's capability and ability to deliver and not micromanaging them, brings out the best in them. I am one such person.

Pros: Great job security
Cons: Unclear roles and very behind on best practice of mature companies
