Looking for another challenge and a different environment
My typical work day, is working with a team of three people. Our department consists of 11 people. We all work wonderfully together as a team and department. I have three superiors that I report too. What I enjoy most: Working with people, they become like family. And working under pressure, this is my daily routine. Helping people were I can. Over the 11 years, there is so many things that I have learnt. Working with clients, Reporting to the management structure, working with other employees, meeting deadlines. Everything just comes together.
Pros: A new learning curve, a different sector for my career.
Cons: Long working hours

Gained extensive experience
It is a really good place to work in, i enjoy my work. Hence i excel in every task given. Being at work feels like my second home to me, plus the good relationship i have with my fellow co-workers. I joint the BR Group as just an OH Technician and i have learnt a lot on construction, that includes SHEQ, Financial management & Advanced administrative skills. What i enjoy most about my joy, is it is getting easier by the day, due to the work i have created for myself. The challenges i have about my job, is the safety part, as the Basil read group report all the injury on duty & fatalities direct to me.
Pros: Good Opportunity for Skill development
