Southern African Shipyards Reviews

 

A good place to grow you knowledge/skill and get experience.

The environment is good and clean, the work is always on going, cutting steel profiles, bending and/ rolling steel sheets, developing and assembling according to a given drawing. It is a shipbuilding company so daily tasks include erecting tug units and tack-welding the seams the good thing is that we don't have bosses but leaders, the people that you can always go to for reference.

Pros: A good place for experience
Cons: No notice of retrenchment.

SAS Project review

The company has a single major project, although it is currently tendering for others. This project consists of the design, development and building of an hydrographic survey ship. This is a very interesting project. The design/project team is heavily understaffed, and lacks skills. However the project staff complement, the client and the customer are enthusiastic about the project, and want to make it a success. There seems to be no major conflicts amongst the workers, although there is some at the higher management levels; this is still considered to be within a level that is manageable. Subcontractor management has been demanding, as the contracting documentation was not as explicit as it should have been. A stumbling block that may affect the project in the near future is cash flow; this could become a larger obstacle than the lack of skills.

Pros: one of the few real projects in the country presently
Cons: low salaries, no training offered to engineering staff

Awesome enviroment to work in.

Working day is started with department morning meeting, update each other with the going on's within our department and the company at large. Excellent working relationship with all my colleague's, I'm able to assist all my colleague's with whatever it is that they may need. I've learnt to humbly myself and also look on the bright side of the situation and to always look for solutions rather than problems. I enjoy learning about new ways of making my job easier.

Pros: Also ready and Available
Cons: Longs hours, they ready for it
