Dynamic Work Experience
My name is Nontsikelelo Mbanjwa. A typical work day includes admin, report writing, site inspections and meetings. There is time to consult other colleagues on issues and queries. I find other co- workers to be professional and helpful. I've learnt how to write detailed reports, identity non compliances on sites, chair meetings and train stakeholders on best practices to achieve good results. I've enjoyed travelling and being exposed to different environmental problems. I have found that taking on a large number of projects due to shortness of staff whilst meeting deadlines has been the most challenging aspect of the job for me.
Pros: Additional Auditing Experiance
Cons: Working overtime

A good learning curve
Checking if the documents are correct on the payment. Editing the requisition number and approving it. Registering orders more than R100 000 on National Treasury Website.
