Just one more exciting day!
My typical day at the office starts quite early, around 6:30 AM. First, a good cup of coffee, then a quick review of emails, actions and delegations to staff. Around 08:00 AM I typically have a quick 30-minute meeting with my team (Twofold objective here!) A) where are we with issues raised (projects, contracts, as examples.), and B) I what to look everyone in the eye ... See how are my team members are doing! If any one member appears stressed, burned out, demotivated they need help from the remainder of us. Then it is time for meetings with clients, vendors, contractors and even occasionally fellow senior managers regarding an array of issues. Back in the office, I might review several contracts, proposals and even the occasional fee estimate followed by comments to my team, preferably face to face (I refer to this as technical privacy time also know as mentoring). The most challenging aspect of my day to day interactions is dealing with clients emotions and expectations.
Pros: Never a dull moment!
Cons: Yes, some days can become very stretched!

Excellent place to learn and network
Typical work day can include opportunity to challenge your thinking as you work on challenging engineering projects that require thinking differently to solve problems. In general there is a team spirit where co-workers work together and support one another to come up with solutions and further their careers. I have learnt how to work with people from different backgrounds and with teams sitting in different locations around the world. I have how best to support teams in order to achieve high performance with tight deadlines. I enjoy my co-workers and learning opportunities the most. Working on projects that have demanding time frames and engineering challenges can be difficult but it helps develop your way of thinking and makes work interesting every day.
Pros: Great learning opportunities
Cons: Low Salary

Excellent learning curve
The most challenging aspect of working at such a large company is keeping in touch and remaining an employee not an employee number. The diversity of this company allowed me to change career path from PA to Planner. The inhouse support allowed for a smooth transition. The scary part has been the incorporation of 2 mayor companies into our brand and becoming accustomed to the huge number of people. and the subsequent numerous rounds of 189s. Mainly due to the down turn of the economy.
Pros: Biggest EPCM in South Africa
Cons: Biggest EPCM in South Africa
