Excellent learning environment

The company is good and gave me the good learning curve because i can work independently,i can run the event alone,handle visitors on my own etc. I had excellent relationship with my co-workers we were very close and worked good together. The most challenging aspect was to get my boss understanding my job and the needs of my job because he was always saying no to even the little things i ask for such as promotional items when going for exhibition.

Pros: great company to grow
Cons: working unpaid overtime

Excellent learning curve

Work on an oil rig. Before you can take the helicopter you’re given basic offshore survival and emergency training. When you fly you wear at least two layers of clothing, then you put on a life jacket. Everything points to disaster but you’re just trying to get to work! After a while, though, it’s as routine as catching a bus. You have to be able to get on with people because you’re spending half your life with people other than your normal partner. I spent more time with my room-mate than my partner. You need be able to mix it with folk, to know the strengths and weaknesses off your colleagues. Conflict must be avoided in such confined spaces. I have learnt the following skill from different industries Offshore Installation Experience Oil and Gas Production Well Surface Production Well Testing Well Head Connection Optimization Job Safety Analysis / Hazard / Safety Procedure Staff Management Procurements

Pros: Great job opportnity
Cons: Long working hours

Excellent working experience

PetroSa is a great company to work for, we are a team (in materials and services_Procurement) of 8 people and we work great together, every department has their ups and downs but at the end we work great together. when I first stepped into this office I had no clue of what was going on and the team made sure we knew every corner of the workload. I love my job and can be very challenging at times, but one need to be open to challenges at all times.

Pros: several years of experience gained
Cons: still on contract after almost 5years

Good working relationship with the team, efficiency and cost reduction

The company is well whole owned by the state and is the only one producing oil and gas on South African shores. A typical work day includes developing project documents such as project charter, project execution strategy, communication plan, risk management plan, costing, scoping and provide support in the procurement of service providers that provide specialist work on behalf of the client

Pros: diversity
Cons: profitability depends on the oil price

Extensive experience in Project Management

I have been exposed to additional responsibilities and have been able to equip myself with additional skills to operate effectively. I acquired skills to be decisive, innovative and to use initiative. As a project manager, I have extensive experience and a fair understanding of working with diverse people and the cascading of administrative tasks. I attended various workshops to stay abreast within my job. My working exposure and on-the-job training has equipped me and enhanced me as a Project Manager to be able to manage teams of different disciplines in order to collectively deliver the project within specified budget, time and quality. I would bring a focus on quality, loyalty and commitment. Furthermore, I am a quick learner, I work well with others. I believe that with my personality, passion background and work ethic I can be of great benefit to this department and company. I am confident that I will be able to contribute successfully to this position.

Pros: Great understanding of client approach
Cons: Positive mind to deliver projects

Higher management has been challenging as conceptual goal versus organizational challenges with the industry competition and lower level or strategic position for business outputs versus internal movements goal of business.
