Management skills, good personal skills, team work,

I hold MSc in Environmental Biotechnology from Rhodes University and practice in the quality assurance discipline, experience in the safety and health and environmental management. Besides this relevant technical experience, I do have a considerable top management and policy formulation exposure. I am currently working as Mineral Tenure and Environmental specialist where I am responsible for compliance to all the environmental licenses and Records of Decision (RoD) for the company’s tire pyrolysis plant, cement plant and depot environmental application, prospecting rights, railway sidings and coal wash plant. I'm responsible for compliance of all the operations mentioned above, to do audits, inspections, communicate with the departments(i.e DMR, DEA, GDARD). I work well with colleagues even though when it comes to compliance it is challenging to work with engineers. I enjoy providing advice and also learning new things.

Pros: Handling different industries (mining, manufacturing, consulting, office environment) which is an opportunity for growth
Cons: travelling away from home for days

Excellent learning curve

I am responsible for monitoring of construction progress, issuing site instructions and controlling project scope (variation orders). As Lead Engineer I hold weekly team meetings and discuss the scope of work in hand and then distribute the work to the engineers in charge and then set up time frame and the due dates. I do also check as-built drawings and incorporate them in our drawing output. I then prepare project budget estimates for the works. I also have been preparing tender documentation and bill of quantities and Adjudicate tenders and preparing tender recommendation report. I prepare timesheets and claims before giving it to the engineering manager to final authorisation.

Pros: great opportunity for promotion
Cons: Long working hours with minimal or even without supervision

RHDHV is a great company to work for

It is a wonderful company to work for in terms of growth and experience. Our systems are global which helps build vast experience. The typical day at the office is maintaining the diaries of my Director and Snr management Arranging all the travel requirements including visa applications. Checking advertised tender opportunities on the market by visiting the necessary websites and newspapers and assisting with compiling the technical proposal of same Organising team building excises to boost staff morale, this is also my favourite part of my work. It does not have to be anything fancy at sort conference facilities but little things as organising pizza for lunch/cake for tea time/ or game night to celebrate the wins/birthdays/project completion/ or any other social events.

Pros: Although RHDHV is a great company, i do not see room for promotion or growth as the company is shrinking yearly (more than 10 local offices have been closed)
Cons: none

Huge exposure to global companies operating in multiple African countries and government relations

During a typical work week, one of my biggest tasks is checking in on my staff and assessing progress on various projects. I like to meet first thing on Mondays to discuss our priorities for the week, then meet again in the middle of the week to check progress, and once at the end of the week to discuss goal setting for the next week. I meet with smaller groups of my staff in the middle of the week to troubleshoot any issues. For example, during a recent mid-week meeting, I noticed one team was a few days behind on a long-term project. I met with the team and, together, we came up with a strategy for increasing efficiency. I also attend a weekly meeting where I present my department’s progress to the executive board. On Fridays, I make sure all tasks are completed and I've sent all the necessary communications via email and in person. Finally, I create a list of priorities for next week.

Pros: Great opportunity for global business exposure and government relations
Cons: Lots of travelling but its part of the job
