Manage staff, drive sheq systems and initiatives, reporting to executive, and board

Reviewing clients requests and contractual queries, establishing and maintaining work relationship with subcontractors, responding to any contractual inquiries from shareholding companies, directors, government authorities, maintaining sheq systems and driving continual improvement.

Managing and developing staff to live up the contractual challenges, interacting with senior management and board members. enjoy being part of global sheq systems through interaction with international shareholding company representatives, involvement in major tenders and integrating sheq into day to day business activities. challenges faced include limitations imposed by contractual obligations, managing contracts which were not signed with sheq implications in mind, undefined client expectations, etc

Pros: provided me with opportunity to grow and widen my skills in sheq and risk management
Cons: undefined expectations with stringent time frames for reporting

Exposure to new technologies

A typical days work include progress meeting with team to review what has been achieved from previous day and planning for the week. Bulk of the work includes maintenance of the existing civil infrastructure, new infrastructure projects initiated from maintenance proposals, quality control signing off of new structures from construction phase of the gautrain project by Bombela Civil Joint Venture. and expansion projects initiated by the Gautrain Management Agency. I attend meetings of all the above projects initiatives representing the maintainer from technical and structural position to evaluate and advise the executive technically. I have enjoyed the variaty of Civil Projects i have been involved with including exposure to new technologies used in the Gautrain Projects, e.g, u-shapes strutures to solve problem soils(dolomite) challenges.

Pros: Carrer growth depends on one's initiative and willingness to get more knowledge.
Cons: Not enough technical support inhouse and decisions takes longer to be made due to consultation outside of one's office.

I enjoy new challenges

I am organized and dedicated person; with excellent to detail and strong time management skills. I enjoy work that is challenging, interesting and allows me to take ownership. I am a confident communicator with a passion for Science, technology and things that make the world go round. I can excel either in a team environment where ideas are tossed back and forth or alone where I put my analytical skills into practice. I have a 'can do' attitude and am always willing to chip in where needed and will do so with a smile on my face. I am eager to learn and develop and welcome the chance to change and broaden my horizons in any way, shape or form. I am looking for a new career challenge now, and would really like to get into role where I will continuously learn.

Pros: Enjoy working as a team
Cons: Awkward shift

I am an Executive Assistant with more than 10 years experience.

With my role there is no typical work day as each day is unique with challenges. Bombela is the Operator for the Gautrain hence each day is different. Yes, there are the generic Assistant duties that require attention but customer focus is key (internal and external). I have built strong relationships with my co-workers and pride myself on good moral values. Going into my third year in this industry, I have proudly become the "go to" person in our company. The CEOs office is well respected. I always enjoy learning the different personalities and being a French owned company it is exciting. I have always been in the financial industry and to experience the rail industry and the international standard that it is managed in comparison to the local rail services is brilliant.

Pros: Slight prospect to travel internationally for business.
Cons: The hours can be long as well as the travelling from home to the office.

Not what you would expect

My typical work day starts at 04:00, that’s when my shift begins. I have to constantly be on high alert for anything that may be amiss always active and always on my feet. I work 9 hour shifts 4 days one week and 6 days the next week and it all begins with blowing in the alco-meter to make certain of the 0 tolerance substance abuse policy. Then I collect my radio and driving sheet and I begin working. The employees are quite eccentric and extremely knowledgeable and interesting. They are the best part of my day. Everything to up for discussion and it’s always light hearty and good fun with lots of laughs. Self discipline is an important lesson to learn while working here from abstinence of judgement impairing substances to punctuality; and it is a lesson I will never forget.

Pros: Great opportunities for self betterment
Cons: Shifts
