Boilermaker maker supervisor Forman in training . welder trainer Pipefitting Commissioning

My contract was for 1 year and because of my excellent relationship with the workers Anglo Gold kept my for 4 years. Unfortunately government said localization needs to take place. I like to b e before the workers to plan for tg e day ahead we will have a meeting in which I explained what was required motivate and encourage workers and ask for their input to make the day successful. I have learned to treat and encourage the workers and you bring the best out of them to get the work done. I enjoyed the long hours working and no telephones to or any interferes. The most challenging is shutdowns where u real use the plant must run and there is no spares I will save the company monies and make the part myself The best thing for me was learning French I enjoyed it and the locals kept me humble

Pros: I want to grow with the company and want my superior to see my protection
Cons: my best quality I am a workaholic

Excellent learning experience

I ger on well wirh co-workers as we respect each othwrs differences and I have learnt to be patient, a dilligent worker and to be able to make decisions based on finding faults and coming up wit solutions. When done with my tasks for the day I can rest and wait for a break down and working in a field dominated by males is not easy as you have to condtantly prove that you are capable of handling the job.

Pros: Great oppotunities
Cons: We don't all get employed after training

I work in a Gold mining company called Anglo Gold Ashanti

My work is to assist the plant manager and metallurgical egineer to run the plant by day to day monitoring of the accurate operation of all sections of the plant and coduct daily reports on the overall plant performance efficiency as well as the daily updates of the plant recovery on the company KPI's (Key performance indicators) charts reviewed by general managers in corporate offices around the entire Sa region. I relieve the Metallurgical engineer (acting) on regular basis. The most challenging aspects of the business is dealling with the people on different levels towards meeting production targets safely with the same goal in mind. I have learned that if you genuenly treat people in the correct manner and lead by example, you are likely to receive extra efforts from them and to create the working environment that is healthy to work in. i enjoy working with different groups of people with the same courage and motivation as me.

Pros: The conpany is well wstablished and well known providing oppotunity to get a recognition interms of growth.
Cons: the role i play is brought and not particularly defined to one specific area but collective in wide range of applications.
