DAMEN SHIPYARDS CAPE TOWN Reviews

 

A day in a PA's life

In today's world you have to be flexible and multi-talented in order to add value to an ever changing business environment. My work experience has exposed me to a variety of business facets including legal, asset management, finance, operations, hospitality, marketing, public relations, sales, human resources, procurement and project management; which has allowed me to be a strong and valuable team member. I have worked in a personal assistant, executive assistant and paralegal position for over 8 years and more recently (last 3 years) in the PR, marketing & sales and tender support spheres. I am driven, enjoy working within a team and I am happiest when I can add value to the organisation that I am working for. I am innately creative and have often been called a good problem solver. My current role is a multifunction role which includes the following: 1. PA to Management duties; 2. Office Manager duties; 3. Public Relations Officer.

Pros: Great people and interesting work. When we are busy it is fun!
Cons: Uncertain industry

Excellent learning curve

It's good company learning new things from anyone from the company with willingness to teach you. Great managers that are friendly. It's nice to see many races learning each other and work like family. Learnt a lot cleaning, fixing,grinding, welding, cutting with cuttingtorch, drawings, using alot of machines including computers. Challenging part was to get under a boat's engine, chain locker, climbing up the boat to the monkey island,painting when it's hot all were challenging

Pros: Great opportunity for learning
Cons: Long working hours

Excellent work culture!

Working at Damen was a constant exhilarating experience for me, I interacted with so many people from within the company and Damen's service/products suppliers. Within the company, we challenged each other to maintain a high performance on a daily basis and sometimes we were challenged by outside company factors that were beyond our scope of control. We most of the time remained focused on the goal in order to ensure that our projects should not be affected by delays or unnecessary costs.

Pros: There was room for growth and exposure
Cons: Noise pollution
