Work life

Typical day, meet with staff at work stations discuss safety and review work done yesterday and plan for today. Contact planners to discuss maintenance work planed for the day, and progress on spares for planned shutdowns. Good open relationships with co-works, depending on situation the interaction can be very formal, or friendly. What I have learnt in my current job is not to take everything personal, do not be afraid to ask for help, plan as much as possible and be alert to the big moment to react quickly. I have always worked with stock (raw materials, finished goods, packaging and spare parts), so I enjoy the challenge of managing stock. I run the main warehouse in Lichtenburg, and have a say over 3 remote warehouses, the most challenging aspect is to keep every one working at the same standard and to follow the standard procedure.

Pros: Will assist with studies.
Cons: Slow moving.

Learning curve

I work long hours and on standby after working hours and Saturdays. I am a team player ,work well with co-workers. I have learned that for every issues you face with customer or co-workers is never personal and resolving issues without including personal feelings works in the best interest of the company. The biggest challenge of the Job is traveling ,I am on the road for almost 4 hours everyday

Pros: Resourceful, training it's stuff
Cons: Long working hours

Excellent learning curve

If I could summarize in less than few words, i could say "Titanic is sinking". In an event where costs/expenses are over ROI/Profits everything goes south. Staff cost increases, Employee Morale decreases, Staff Turnover increases, Absenteeism increases, Disciplinary cases increases and Productivity radically drops.

Pros: Opportunity to learn - mining industry (regulations)
Cons: High Staff Turnover
