I worked at Saldanha Steel for 16 years in total (from 1998 to 2006 and again from 2010 to 2019) Up to 2006 I worked as a supervisor at Secondary Metallurgy who lead a team of 7 diversed individuals. My job included but were not limited to: ensuring production targets were made; handling HR issues of the team; report writing; meeting scheduling and chairing; facilitation of training; administration files up to date. This included monthly reports and budgeting of shift safety issues. Our work included ensuring fire fighting equipment is current, serviced and ready for use.
From 2010 to 2011, I was contracted to update and review Standard Operating Procedures of the Steelmaking Department
Up to December 2019, I worked in the Business Improvement Department, with the focus on World Class Manufacturing. My work included, but was not limited to: Ensuring the shifts apply Autonomous Maintenance; Help maintenance personnel with their administrative part of Professional Maintenance; Ensuring our plant stay state of the art with production and equipment processes by applying Focused Improvement. I also supported my manager with his adhoc tasks. Visual management will always be a good way to ensure people are informed and up to date with info.
My strengths are administration, leadership, time management and autonomous working
My weaknesses are patience - especially if my success depends on others' outputs
My threats - my main aim is usually to get as much done as possible, but sometimes people see it as controlling. I am a firm believer of being output driven, although most companies rely on input...
My opportunities - I still have a lot to offer for any organisation / company. I would like to complete a degree in Community Development
