Excellent learning Curver

Very professional environment and capable colleagues. Absolutely system driven and always on time in all departments.The work place culture is based on mutual respect. They give you enough opportunity to enhance your skills as much as you can. If you are not happy with the working environment you are more than welcome to voice your concern and it will be taken into consideration. As I was an Intern I received very good training throughout and I experienced a lot and improved and advanced on my skills especially computer skills e.g excel and spreadsheet as i was also taught how to prepare presentations, and how to coordinate events I worked closely with the management.

Pros: Opportunity for growth
Cons: As an Intern upon completion of your contract full employment is not guaranteed

Excellent learning curve

In my current job I get to meet up with the councilors of different wards to try and sort out issues that may hinder the service delivery and also try sorting out disputes between the contractors and the local community. I also work very closely with the project manager to implement the projects that is planned for that particular financial year. In my job I work over and above my job description reason being in my department we do not have the capacity of resources that can do other tasks which is sometimes an advantage for me because I get an exposure to some of the things, but it is also a challenge when the momentum of the work is higher and one has to jungle work and some of the work falls out. But over and above that it a great opportunity because this taught me how to manage my time in all tasks given.

Pros: Great opportunity in learning other things out of my line of work.
Cons: No breaks in between

Diverse skills and experience

I work 5 days in a week and I work outside the office most of the time conducting inspections/surveys, attending safety meetings, incident investigations, conducting presentations etc. I have a good working relationship with my peers sometimes if I am not at work they attend my meetings on my behalf and I have a good working relationship with the Units I service. I enjoy advising and assisting my clients with regards to health and safety.

Pros: Learn different skills/exposed to different activities
Cons: Diverse culture/environments but no safety culture
