When I get to work the first I do is check the SAP system for any notifications that might have been loaded at night. After that we have a departmental morning meeting where by we discuss plant issues, notifications and work orders. I also supervise contractors when there is any work that they are busy with. I attend outage meeting to find out which spares are needed at the plant and engage with procurement to procure them. My colleagues and I work as a team to achieve a common goal. I learned that good communication between colleagues is essential to create an environment where everyone will show their full potential. I enjoy working as a team because I get to learn things from other people which I had no knowledge of. The challenging aspect of my job is working with suppliers who don't have technical knowledge.
Pros: Great opportunity to be exposed to doing work being done by my seniors.
Cons: No promise of being hired permanently

Learning new things each and everyday that are productive
Working at Eskom as a trainee was a challenge at first as I was new from university and I wasn’t used to the working environment. But since a mind is the greatest tool that can do everything for as long as you tell yourself to do so. I got used to the environment and how it can change an individual into a well disciplined one and making sure that every task given to me is done before the given time frame. Team work is the greatest thing that can make the company to grow and result it with a good production. Since workers are working towards one thing of which is making sure that the company is recognized and grows everyday, we need to have a good relationship. I enjoy new challenges as the tests my vocabulary. Confidence and preparation is the best tool that keeps me going.
Pros: I can get to use the knowledge and skills i learned here elsewhere
Cons: Eskom doesn’t grand any permanent since it’s undergoing financial issues
