Good environment to gain exposure to big projects
I don't have much to say. Not a conducive environment for a young professional who wants to learn from various projects. The pace at which anything is done is very slow and counter productive in my view.
Pros: You work on marine type projects which are hard to come by.
Cons: Bureaucracy

Vast capital project exposure
I am mostly office bound but also go to site because the projects I am involved in take place on site. Site is basically the Port/harbor, different projects happen in different precincts in the port. The different precincts include, the ship repair facility, liquid bulk terminals, container terminals, etc. I have been involved in multi-million eve billion rand projects which involve infrastructure upgrades, export terminal construction, and refurbishment projects. I have learnt a lot in this these projects whereby I received experience in design exposure, project management, tender evaluations and adjudication, drawing reviews, technical optioneering, project costing, stakeholder engagement, etc.
Pros: Great opportunity for promotion; exposure to different engineering projects
Cons: long schedule times before projects get into execution

A great exposure
I have a wonderful relation with almost every individual in the office and not just my co-workers. There is a nice culture of greeting and hugging as if your blood related family and it shows appreciation among each other. I have learnt that people in this company breath the culture charter values and not just cram them for peace sake. I love it when our leadership call us at the auditorium to check if we are still fine under any circumstances we we come across,these are called Imbizo sessions between the people and management. The most challenging aspect is that when one is seeking information from various stakeholders, you always get hiccups when management does not support you.
Pros: Great company for maritime and ports exposure
Cons: Too much red tapes

Passionate MIS Reporting Specialist with 8+ years of experience.
Passionate MIS Reporting Specialist with 8+ years of experience. My typical day entails co-ordinating all port performance reports (across 8 ports). I consolidate these reports for effective trend analysis and recommendations to the business. Working with 8 different ports has awarded me an opportunity to build relationships with my peers and other stakeholders within the different ports. I have also acquired a lot of business acumen in the process. The main challenge about my job is the inability of the systems to produce quality data and the human factor during the data capturing.
Pros: My current position has opened up an opportunity to build working relationships with different stakeholders from different ports and different business units. This has opened up a lot of room for learning and growth and understanding the business even further.
Cons: The main challenge about my job is the inability of the systems to produce quality data and the human factor during the data capturing.
