An internship programme for Civil Engineers
I interact with Town Planners and Professional Engineers and other Civil Engineers on a daily basis. My department dealt with the Planning Phase of any construction project in the Johannesburg Region that had an impact on our Roads and Bridges. This included the Town Planning procedures such as the establishing of a Township or Rezoning (changing rights) of an existing Township up until the approving of construction drawings. My relationship with my co-workers is excellent. Its a great working environment where everyone is willing to help each other as we're all a team trying to achieve a common goal which is excellent service to the people of Johannesburg. The challenges of this job is the workload that must be completed in a specific required time. Some submission take longer to review than others but they all have the same time frame to be completed.
Pros: Great opportunity to interact with engineers from different consultants
Cons: Not enough design experience for a young engineer like me

Experienced with necessary qualifications
On daily basis I have learned that it is very important to love what you do. This is to make ensure that if you do not know something you let other people know in order to assist you. Interacting with other co workers it help me a lot because I am able to know what other department do and how that have an impact in the company. I have learnt that at work as colleagues we are there to give productivity or to offer our services to the company in order to give full maximum ability to achieve set goals. I am very friendly and happy environment makes me happy and do my job relaxed, well being of others is very important to me. I have found out that in my job, most of presentation are done by management and it was difficult for me to present where management is listening. If it is possible I would to get more opportunity where I will be able to grow in my profession.
Pros: Opportunity for growth
Cons: Hard worker
