Dealing with different people , the stakeholders of the department on a daily basis. The cooperation with my colleagues is excellent nothing beats the work together kind of people its brings better results at the end of the day I have work in all the section of finance department all i learnt a lot and i am proud to say i know the finance section by heart. What i have enjoyed most was working with the outside stakeholders dealing with different people you learn a lot of thing about your work.The most challenging aspects in my current job is where we have run out of budget and some of our suppliers are not paid that is challenge because you have to run around trying to get ways of getting funds, eg do the shifting and viaments liaise with the provincial treasurer to resolve the matter.

Excellent learning environment

I work in an Agriculture Research Station and I do electrical engineering which includes wiring of premises and electrical accessories installer, installations of AC/DC motors. Fault findings. Mechanical engineering where I do diesel mechanics and maintenance management of tractor and diesel engines Wedding and Fitting I have skills and experience in fitting and welding using a Rod . I plan and control the task given to minimise a down time. Because they work with samples that need be refrigerated and kept in a certain temperatures. It is a very interesting challenge to always fault find before a damage has been done. The plant trials as part of the research and tractors and their implements needs to be in good order as their plants in phases and dates.

Pros: You learn new technology always
Cons: There are no overtime payments
