Excellent learning curve

Super user on SAP ERP, Couching and training, supervisory role for the ten planners and ensuring continuous improvement for reliability of equipment's and ensuring compliance to ISO compliances and regulatory requirements. Systems trouble shooting on the SAP ERP or Microsoft Projects , managing the budgets from month to month to annually. I have learn management skill to present and champion leadership role and ensuring the process and policies and procedures are in working process. Leadership and customer relations for business optimization across value chain in the organization. System trouble shooting for business improvement. 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.

Pros: exposure on the work.
Cons: recurrying activities.

Excellent learning curve

It is good to work for PetroSA though at the moment the company is facing difficulties like any petroleum company due to economic conditions. Attend production meeting , follow up on production requests, checking results , batching of final products. I have a good relationship with co-workers. At the moment I am learning Fuel specialist functions which were added to mine as a result of person retired early this year. I am enjoying this part as I take it as a development on my career though its challenging as there was no handover.

Pros: Fuel specialist functions broaden my scope
Cons: There are no remuneration for added responsibilities

Technical Growth

My day starts with a meeting at 06:30 where previous day's work progress is discussed. Then work plan for the day is also discussed. My preparation for next day's work begins at 13h00 by writing work permits from notifications raised by production personnel, routines from the planner or defects raised by myself from my daily inspections. Before I start working on any equipment, I first do daily inspections on critical equipment such as chillers, air-conditioning, freezer rooms and cold rooms. Then I fill in the daily logbook of that equipment. At 16:00 I give a daily report to the engineer about the status of tasks for the day. Then work continues till 18:30. Thats what typically goes on for two weeks in a month and the other two weeks I'm off duty.

Pros: Job security since it is a State firm. There is more to learn still especially in electrical.
Cons: Two weeks at sea is strenuous and impacts negatively on family life.

Excellent.Great working environment.I gained a lot of knowledge and skills

I was a student employed for a year to complete my chemical engineering diploma at PetroSA. We worked on 12 h our shifts in groups of 3 and it would either be a day o night shift. It was a great learning experience.One person would be in the plant room,the other at the lab and the third would be in the control room. My colleagues were all dedicated and we had a great team where everyone felt free to bring ideas and solutions to problems that we faced in the plant.My superviser was the best he taught us a long and didnt hold back any information about the industry.I enjoyed serving and being empowered wth knowledge ind the petrochemical industry.My tachnical skills improved a lot. Working for 12 hours was challenging bit i enjoyed it.

Pros: Great opportunity for growth
Cons: long working hours

Excellent learning curve. First time on PetroSA site for a shutdown

Was chosen for a shutdown, 10/09/2018 - 09/11/2018 Had to give a progress report every morning on production. Update data pack as production progresses. Such as, weld maps, NDT requests. Do surveillance inspection as well as visual inspection on completed welds. Liaise with 3rd Party inspector according to QCP intervention points. After work is completed, compile End of Job documentation, and ensure all parties sign these documents. Submit data packs for archiving. I have learned to have patience because a large number of artusans, only started their apprenticeship as pipe fitters and welders. So, it was to teach them how the whole system works with inspections, etc as we ll as to transfer knowledge when facing challenges which they never encountered. Greatest satisfaction was to see what they were taught and how they implemented it into their daily tasks

Pros: People are supporting one another and it is a good living environment
Cons: Job opportunities are limited.
