Driving for Results with the Team

Joining Rockwell Automation from KHD Humboldt Wedag, a German Company was an eye opener as it exposed me to industry 4.0, and different customers who like change and order intake in high volumes. Unlike at KHD where Capital projects worth millions would take sometime to come through. In my current role I manage Account Managers, so I have to motivate my team, set KPI, hire and train the team, also I carry out growth strategies for the Mining and Metals department and ensure we achieve our annual sales targets. Everyday is unique as one needs to deal with difficult customers from time to time, and negotiating deals is sometimes challenging, also working with different people with differing views and motivation is a challenging part as one needs to manage each individual as such. I enjoy networking with customers as well as closing deals with my sales team, also it gives me fulfillment so see a team member doing well in his/her role

Pros: Growth
Cons: Too much travelling outside RSA

Great opportunity to learn new technology and stay up to speed with latest technology.

Electrical Systems, including VSD's, PLC's, industrial networks are part of the daily testing and faultfinding at Rockwell Automation. My Focus is mainly on the Electronic repairs to component level of Variable speed drives, and SCR speed controllers. I also do repairs to loads of direct online equipment that is still cost effective to repair. Embedded electronics is also one of my passions and loads of little projects and controllers were build as solutions to our clients.

Pros: Flexible work hours, ownership of own work responsibility.
Cons: the individual disappear in the system.
