Excellent learning curbe

I have good working relationship with my co- workers , I have learnt that customer service is important and that the end result of your working day should be to satisfy your customers and have them going with smiles on their face.The most enjoyable moment I have is when I joke with the customers and give the little children something to smile about when they did not get what they want from the parents.I have had the most challenging things when I was shot on cash when cashing up and the customer complaining about things that are beyond your control.

Pros: Working permanently and being a Supply chain coordinator
Cons: Working long hours, not getting enough time to spend with your family

My years as Cost Engineer

I start off my work day by reading emails to see if there are any urgent matters I need to attend to. I then proceed to updating Cost Reports for each project,include current payments and implement change management where necessary.I liaise a lot with Procuement,Contract Admin,Planner and Quantity Surveyor so my relationship with them is fairly good. In y 4 years of Cost Engineering I have been exposed to Total Cost management – plan & control resources, costs, profitability and risk throughout lifecycle of project.I enjoy supporting the Project Managers throughout the lifecycle of projects as this is the designation I am working towards, I learn a lot from them. The most challenging aspect is nit getting approvals on time from the client. Approvals of Project change notices or monthly claims. This delays further processes on our end.

Pros: We get perfomance bonuses and training and development is highly supported
Cons: Career progression is limited- No Junior to Senior to Junior Manager to Senior Manager progression. It is currently only Junior to Manager

An Excellent learning oppotunity

It was like a normal working environment hard working is needed but with time you get used to it all,we mostly work as a team our relationship was all based on work,because we spend lot of times discussing modules and going to work shop,have learned a lot working in this environment going to workshop doing fault finding on locomotives, maintenance, I enjoyed mostly working in the working getting dirty and stuff it shows you and building you on how electrical fitter should be like,it really a nice experience,the most challenging aspects on my job is working under the locomotives and on top of it it need open eyes and concentration

Pros: it was a great oppotunity working at transnet
Cons: we worked normal working ours

I have the opportunity to further my studies.

I have a good working relation with my co-workers. i usually prepare the maintenance schedule a week in advance to prepare the workshop for the man power required to do the necessary preventative maintenance. i then communicate with the relevant supervisor for any additional or unplanned maintenance resulting from breakdowns to acquire the required spares/material for repairs.

Pros: the company does provide for further studies.
Cons: My working hours limit the time i can get to further my studies.

Learnt so much in terms of logistics

I start work 15minutes before to analyze the work for the day and plan. I communicate with co-workers about the expectation from senior management and customers. I have a good relationship with co-workers and as well they have good relation with me. I have learnt a lot in terms of communication, leadership, reporting and presentation skills to mention a few. My challenging moments is when we have challenges in reaching the expected target and need to report to customers and senior management. The good moments is when we are ahead of target allocated to us by both management and satisfying the customers.

Pros: Oppotunities of promotion are available.
Cons: Longer working hours and working under pressure.
