Great working experience and leaning curve
Tongaat Hulett Starch (Meyerton) is the company that utilize the maize kernel to produce starch, germ and husks. The produced starch can also be converted into syrup. My duties as QC technician were to analyze all the final products ( starch, syrup, maize germ, and husk) to see if they meet both national and international standards or customers expectations. I've learned the values of good laboratory practices (GLP) and various instruments used to analyze the final products. I have also acquired knowledge and understanding of ISO 9001, 18001, 17025, 14001OHS Act and also SHE-Q audits. This company has taught me a lot, like working with a team and without supervision. It has been exciting to go to work everyday because of the friendly environment that I had. The job was challenging but manageable. During peak season, we would work even on our tea time or lunch time until we help all our customers. All in all i enjoyed every minute of it.
Pros: Great environment to learn
Cons: No benefits for contractors

Gaining experience while learning.
On daily basis I run the plant, take samples after every 2 hours, If we are encounter problems with the product I take them hourly, if I have assignment given by my manager or engineers I do them. During a challenged day I work hand in hand with my coworkers, I help where I can as well. I have learned how to work in a team, how to start up and shut down the plant, how to analyze samples, how to Handel chemicals and learned about health, safety and environment, house keeping to avoid injuries. The most challenging part was to unblock pipe lines, and to do you assignment which will have deadlines while running the plant and taking samples after every 2 hours.
Pros: Great opportunity for growth
Cons: Long working hours
