Newcastle Municipality Reviews

 

Good learning curve

TYPICAL WORK DAY: We start at 07:00 to 17:00. We spend most of the day on site, repairing streetlights and installing boreholes. I conduct risk assessments and ensure correct protective clothing is worn at all times. RELATIONSHIP WITH CO-WORKERS: We are like a family here. The relationship is professional though. We always communicate with each other and plan the jobs day before we commence. WHAT HAVE I LEARNT: Yes we are a small company, but having active team players makes everything easy, targets are reached on time. You just need to humble yourself and listen to others. WHAT DO I ENJOY MOST: When i do presentations for the guys, i make sure that everyone understands and is more than welcome to ask for clarity. I love my filing system, it makes it easier for me get documents on time. THE MOST CHALLENGING ASPECTS OF MY JOB: When i have to attend a briefing that i am clueless about. It helps me to do my research and come back with a clear picture.

Pros: Great opportunity for growth
Cons: Normal working hours
