My day starts with production feedback meeting in which production stats and imminent plans get shared with the team for efficient continuous operation to avoid bottlenecks and recurrence process interruptions. Then later during the day after scanning through my mails and completion of critical reports go lead the team to ensure that daily-targeted goals are achieved. My relationship with co-workers do not impact my job other than they improve workplace satisfaction (by up to 96 percent!) and keep you sane. I have learn to project hope and positivity, while keeping the organization focused by combating weakness, negativity and mediocrity. I have also learnt to always have a plan, and ensure I am constantly moving the ball towards the goal. What I enjoy the most is to run a safe and profitable business. My challenges aspects of my job involves working with unfocused leadership who spend more time on pointless meetings.

Pros: Leaving a great legacy for continual safe and profitable business.
Cons: Long working hours

Fast leaner

I started as a clerk for about 4months at rand refinery and my contract ended then I was called for an operator position, me and my co-workers are responsible of melting different material in the furnace and produce a sample of that material and an ingot so it can be processed in other department. we are working as a team of 3 and we understand each other even though we sometimes experiencing some challenges but we do sort those challenges or differences out. I learnt most processes in the company, treating the material from one furnace to the next till the final product, and the chemical equations and accuracy in measuring. I'm enjoying working with numbers and chemical equation and processes. we're too exposed to high temperatures and heavy material that are being lifted manually into the furnaces those are my two aspect that are very challenging to me

Pros: great oppotunities for growth in the company
Cons: unsatable shifts

Great learning curve

Working for Rand refinery is good, and challenging at the same time. I worked in the Smelter department as Instrument Technician, I then moved to the project department to help with various projects eg. Ducon scrubber project , update Instrument drawings and upgrade on chlorine station . I work overtimes and standby on monthly basis. I now work at the services department as instrument technician and services supervisor . I have good relationship with my co-workers and they respect me because of my leadership style. I enjoy interacting with people and working on projects. The most challenging part about my job is the call outs and the pressure from production .

Pros: great opportunity for growth
Cons: long working hours

I'm always willing to learn more within the company and make use of a great opportunity.

I'm a very hard working person. I have a great relationship with my co-workers and team. I've always learn to listen before I react on any decisions I make. I enjoy working with a team that works hard and want to achieve the same goal as all. Most challenging I would say is to fail as a team and not getting any targets complete.

Pros: Getting a promotion
Cons: Long hours
