Quantity Surveying

I like to work with my colleagues as a team. At Radon Projects i started to specialize in Setting-Out of Trenches and Bases for the whole structure of 13storey building and also assisted in Quantity Surveying Services including taking measurement of Sub-Contractor's works for payments and reading revised Engineer's drawings for breakdown of costs to Bills of Quantities. At Public Works my main job was to manage State owned construction projects including preperation of tenders documentation, Bill of quantities and other tender requirements.

Pros: I'm working to register as a Candidate QS (SACQSP)
Cons: Unavailability of QS Softwares like WinQs

Excellent exposure

Working as an HR intern, performing day to day duties. submitting memos,capturing on the system, compiling minutes, compiling master list, assist on investigations in labour unit. The atmosphere is good, people are friendly, we laugh and work at the same time. we share jokes and lunch. and we work as as a team. we have a rule,you do not know,you ask,you learn. within this period of a 1 year, i learnt more about how to work with other people, dealing with different people with different personalities especially in Hr section since it is people centered. i enjoy the capturing part in the system, using Persal system. the challenging part is the Persal part since it has a lot of information and confusing but at the same time is it challenging but enjoyable.

Pros: good
Cons: good

Finance (Intern)

I was very impressed with the overall information presented about your company. One of the major reasons amongst others that gravitated me to your company was the fact that it was clear from your company profile that you are a growth-oriented company and committed to competence. I believe that your company would be the best place for me to gain experience in terms of being exposed to the corporate world. My aim is to be Global Chartered Management Accountant that is why I want to study Postgraduate Diploma in Management Accounting at University of South Africa. I believe I would be a valuable addition to your company as I have the right passion and the drive to learn as well as to gain extensive knowledge in accounting, auditing, taxation, finance and management accounting relevant to your company requirements.

Pros: PFMA
Cons: EIGHT HOURS AND 30 MINUTES
