Mining Sustainable Solutions

I have learnt that team work is essential to achieve both individual & group goals (TEAM). Organisationss have different cultures, some are motivating while others are challenging. I have also learnt that organisational development is an everyday challenge as companies go through thier own challenges. One has to remain positive all the times, and be flexible (have a big picture thinking and attitude)

Pros: Great opportunity to engage with communities
Cons: Travelling long distances

Working experience

The major things that i do on normal basis is completing the various costing reports to all budget holders to make sure that they are all in line with their budgets. i have a very strong relationship with my co-workers as i have attended a course that helps to develop or understands how a human being thinks or behave, things like courageous conversations, using different types of listening by having that skill it helps me a lot to have a very good relationship with the workers especially the mining sector is very difficult in terms of handling the pressure but currently am championing that. One of the most things that i enjoy is learn new things everyday cause they bring or give me a lot of energy or excitement. The most challenging aspects of the job that am currently doing is when you are told to relieve someone who is on leave and at the same you didn't have much time to do hand overs,however again in those circumstances i do very well again

Pros: To be promoted to upper level
Cons: long working hours are fine

Currently want to explore more in accounting field

I have excellent communication with my core workers as I have been in a course whereby I was trained how to interact with workers and using different types of listening at all times. I enjoy new challenges as they form part of my growing in my career. The most challenging in my position is to make sure all the budget holders do not overspend and have to make sure that the ones that are entitled to use money are the ones who meet their targets

Pros: Opportunity for a promotion on upper level
Cons: Long working hours

Good company with excellent benefits

Start work at 5am and normally should end at 2:30pm. This seldom happen due to workload and shortage of staff. Co-workers are nice people and we tend to be like a family at work. I enjoy solving some of the problems that been like that for years. The most challenging is to keep co-workers motivated and to turn a sinking ship around.

Pros: Excellent benefits
Cons: Certain areas Very poor work conditions sometimes even dangerous

Been workin in instrumentation for 11 years

If a problem occurs don't count on people above you to solve the problem. There is no real bonuses if when production is good. I have learned a lot about various thing in instrumentation . I enjoy my leave time the most with the 13 th cheque. Is to always covering yourself with breakdowns , trips and failure of old instruments.

Pros: Knowledge
Cons: Poor management with no knowledge of workings

Honesty and sincerity are an important aspect in my life.I am loyal in work and towards colleagues.

I ran the Engineering workshops for Sibanyestillwater. My duties was to ensure all repair work coming in was done to standard and ensure the QC checks were done. I had to resolve all staff issues including the Union issues. I had a good relationship with the staff and Union. I am a Electrician by trade and had to learn the mechanical side of repairs which was very rewarding. The challanging part of the work was to get SNR Management to give their buy in to manufacture additional new mining equipment. The rewarding part of the work was to see my department reaching their targets.

Pros: Great learning experience
Cons: Routine daily same job

Safety and Learning curve

Education alone is not enough without the practical experience. One has to take advises from the experienced people on the job but with cautions so as to avoid safety compromising. The method of performing a certain task as stated in theory may not yield the desired results underground due to many factor ignored during the construction of such a method on surface. NEVER COMPROMISE ON SAFETY! A mineral with blood costs the company more money than it would have, had it not mined at all.

Pros: Great opportunities for individual development
Cons: Unskilled stereotyped Labour intensive
