Excellent learning experience
The job is a learnership/ in service training with some modules completed but most importantly is the chemical plant that I work in, we are part of the polymers and vinyls business producing VCM. With the job, I would say I love the training from that plant because it contains almost every equipment that a chemical industry would use more than any other plant I know of, from different types of reactors to different distillation methods, clarifying and water treatment or recovery methods.. I would say it's a good place for training but I would like to work for another company or plant if a permanent position opens up. My daily routine is :Taking samples using different sampling methods and analyzing them in a laboratory, ensuring that equipment is working well and systems are working properly prepare some equipment for maintenance if needed, looking for any new technology to help improve our productivity etc. The relationship with the workers is just kept professional, but they are friendly
Pros: Good off days up to 5 days off
Cons: Long working hours

Day to day logistics
It gets extremely hectic at work on a day to day basis but with good planning we usually manage very well. My co-workers, especially my direct reports enjoy working with me and that's because I'm a team player. I have learnt a lot from my current company, I have seen the Road Traffic Act from a different perspective, I have learnt how to conduct surveys etc. I enjoy SHE issues arising and operations requesting our department to assist in those matter. The most challenging aspects are avoiding incidents because human error is always a factor, derailing trains, customer complaints etc.
Pros: Great management team.
Cons: Long working hours

Excellent learning opportunities, dynamic environment, stimulating work, limited repetition
The current environment I work is dynamic and challenging to keep the company abreast of the changing environment globally. We work across divisions, functions and levels to optimise whatever the requirement is. Innovative thinking and willingness to learn new concepts is a daily requirement, e.g. impact of ESG on the WACC rate. I enjoy the work because its stimulating and constantly changing where challenging the status quo is the norm.
Pros: New ways of working and continous improvement is a daily requirement, the work is stimulating and cross boarder work remains interesting, e.g. pre Brexit vs post Brexit.
Cons: non identified, I am in the market because I will be at the same company and industry for 14+ years
