looking for a challenging career
I began my working career as a printer for SA GUAGE where I learnt by using either control mechanisms or direct physical activity to operate machines or processes. I managed complete installation and commissioning of equipment to ensure correct operation. I am looking for a challenging career in any electrical field (heavy duty) whereby my expertise could be utilized. I believe in ensuring matters related to relevant engineering discipline meets customer requirements and complies with standards and statutory requirements to improve the way things are done in a Company; not only to the advantage of the Company but also for the benefit of the employees.

Perfect platform to establish a career
This is a military environment where standard protocol applies across all processes and procedures. There is little room for innovation as all project are driven from one end, generally takes too long for approval since a particular channel is to be observed and often when it's finally approved the technology is overdue. It is an environment where discipline is highly enforced, it is not an opinionated type of environment and this is understandable due to the core business of this entity. Standard, national and international engineering, logistics philosophical approaches are applicable and like many other entities, resources are at times a challenge but the team goes extra miles to ensure that the organisation's objectives are met. It is a great platform for one to establish his/her career. The organisation invest reasonably good in training its employees, including fully paid tertiary plus overseas studies with full pay.
Pros: Fair opportunity for promotion
Cons: Standard working hours, roster overtime duties and sailing across the globe whenever the opportunity arrive

Stepping stone for my career
You get to know places and to be disciplined. You get the opportunity to study. Promotion takes time as the navy does not have a bigger structure. When I joined the navy I had no clue about human resources. I was taken to school to do a human resource course that enabled me to work on persol. I learnt about travel requisition, pay, leave, promotion, staffing, medical, recruiting and movement.
Pros: Great opportunity for travelling the world and to learn different cultures
Cons: Taking long time to be promoted

Looking for better opportunities
I have been working for the SANavy for 21years now and am not where I wanted to be. I have graduated with my NDiploma HRM and registered for my Bachelor's degree in Industrial Organisational Psychology. I have just completed my Facilitator/ Assessor/Moderator courses and completing my Skills Development Facilitator Course (SDF).

My work colleagues come often to me for advise on a career /work/or professional level. I am a workaholic. I believe in finishing any given task at the shortest possible time. I am a perfectionist and I believe in doing things right the first time and moving on to the next task at hand
Pros: Good Environment if you love helping and teaching others.
Cons: No promotion

I get joy in reaching a conclusion to any task given to me.

Great starting point
It's a great start, I've learned a lot and the environment is friendly, co works are as close as family, my day usually starts with rall call at seven forty and then administrative work like filling and bookings, then scheduling meetings, attending walk ins, attending monthly, and quarterly meetings, reports and agendas and we have gym. Usually taebo or walks up the mountain. Then afternoon both watches, because it's the military we get to have parades and deployment where we do Ohasa on site. I enjoy the social gatherings which happen every term, and the most challenging thing is on the job inspection as people pretend to be safely conscious. But I would like to experience things outside the defence force.p
Pros: Growth opportunities
Cons: Can be too military
