Rotek
Working at Rotek is a new challenge and I find the job very easy compared to what I was doing at Sasol as an electrical technician. The project I am responsible for are mainly mechanical components from Eskom power generation stations and this is something very new that I am adding to my work experience. The most challenging aspect with my job is mainly the culture and business systems used to support what I am doing as a project manager; somehow I feel there is room for improvement. My salary is great but I do not think long term this where I want to be.
Pros: Positions are vacancy based
Cons: being stuck in the same posetion

Good learning curve
Attend toolbox talks, meet with managers and stakeholders to discuss project feedback. Meet with project managers, engineers to gather information in executing projects. Review documentations, draft specification, reports and presentations as a result. Work with teams or individually, can communicate effectively with all level colleagues and overall have a good relationship with all my colleagues. I have learnt that change difficult for employees however gaining colleagues trust and ensuring that they feel as though their contributions in my projects is impacting the organization positively ensures that they all play their part and accepts change more readily. I enjoy identifying problem areas, recommending and implementing solutions. The most difficult aspect about the job is ensuring that managers and stakeholders are able to meet with me to discuss projects because they are all extremely busy.
Pros: Great working relationships with all colleagues
Cons: Career uncertainity

Good exposure and experience acheived
Working for Eskom Rotek Industries has opened my mind with regards to safety and all that one deals with in the workplace. The exposure of working on the turbine has given me the knowledge of the mechanical side of things. Working with a number of people in the same work environment taught me how to deal or handle different people of different race, age and gender. Working as a team and ensuring to watch each other back at all times, taught me that even though we as people might different views, there still things that bring us together without having to be different at the same time Unity is what i enjoy the most because even when things go a little difficult, we still pull together out of bad/ sad situation The most challenging aspect is when there is an injury, a serious injury because that alone takes everyone's morale down.
Pros: Senior safety officer
Cons: weekend

Excellent learning curve
Through 5 years with this company I have learned a lot as an operator aswell as a she rep. Toolbox, risk assessments SMAT, nearmisses are the things I got to know the importance of them. Team work on a day to day work is what keeps up going. Challenges of the plant differ on daily basis but yes some days are critical but reporting and detecting the problems helps to overcome the issues. My job needs 12 hour concentration on the plant but I still enjoy doing it. Great supervision and communication are the keys to success
Pros: Trough training provided, promotions are great
Cons: Yes, long working hours 12 hours a day in a cycle of 2 day shift and 2 nights
