Good opportunity for in service training
Coffee in the mornings and its straight to the lab to analyze samples, return to the office to compile a report and send to laboratory manager for approval before sending results to the customer Relationship with coworkers is professional I've to take full responsibility for tasks given to me and to execute them with precision and on time. It was enjoyable to have a friendly mood around the office and to get help whenever needed. Challenge was some coworkers who were not willing to share knowledge about for example how to operate a certain instrument and should they not pitch for work we have to wait.
Pros: Good opportunity for experience
Cons: No opportunity for promotion

Hardworking and determination results in self improvement
The company benefits are good but it is a sales company ( sales it is its core business ) not technical guys. Development is good for sales technologists not technical guys like us. As the only Instrument Tech in our branch, maintenance , installation , trouble shooting and training including system development on site for our equipment is my responsibility. Every morning service technician have a meeting were we share the challenges they face , if they cannot resolve due to training , i train them or visit the site and resolve those problem and do coaching later and technical fault finding on the plant or equipments are more exciting than building the panels because i learn a lot from them. The challenging is that there no proper training for technicians , if there's new fault or equipment technician must rely on manual or contact the supplier.
Pros: Self time management
Cons: No promotion

Diverse working environment
Its a total Water solutions company for all the industries. I enjoy collaborating with colleagues through the company (South Africa and rest of Africa) especially introducing Reliability Engineering to the business. Traditionally they were a Chemical providing company but now they are doing total Water Solution including MOM (Manage, Operate and Maintain) on Water treatment plants. To convince Sales people that Maintenance does not happen by itself, but it needs time and money, has been quite a challenge, and now they start seeing the light.
Pros: Great opportunity to implement the best practices in terms of plant reliability as there is none in place.
Cons: Having to convince people that some of the commission they have been making has been as a result of not utilizing the maintenance budget.

Great exposure
Lab analysis is typically a routine job but you get unfamiliar and challenging samples from time to time and also special projects which is exciting. It is interactive with both customers and colleagues so one needs to have excellent interpersonal and communication skills. I have learnt to deal with any situation promptly, to be patient and work well under pressure , to provide accurate,reliable results consistently and timelously as this is the core function of the lab. Because we are a head office lab, we receive samples from all over South Africa and other African countries where we operate. The sample volumes can be quiet overwhelming but you learn to prioritise and work smart, which can be challenging when everyone requires urgency or priority on their samples.
Pros: Working with various type of watet sample I.e. Cooling Towers, boilers, effluent/wastewater, drinking water, borehole etc
Cons: Understaffed and overworked
