Demanding.
Professional Registered Quantity Surveyor (Former Employee) - Sandton, Gauteng Head Office / Durban Regional Office - 23 March 2022
Very stressful and demanding environment. Being in this environment ahs enabled me to manage time more efficiently and achieving more deliverables, Management approach for career advancement is very biased and is centred on BEE status and non recognition of individual achievements. Workplace culture is excellent. Failing to get recognition for individual efforts and achievements. I can honestly say that I have gained recognition in both the private and government sector and now value the expertise and knowledge gained over the years having worked for this company.
Pros
Good pension and medical aid + 13th cheque
Cons
Tight deadlines, stressful but competetive

On a daily basis it would be my responsibility to keep the project team informed of any deviations that I may have spotted on site during my routine walk about , in terms of the quality it must be measured accurately and be realistic to ensure that the Project requirements and specifications are being met at all times for the best of the Project.

Pros
Different inviroment on site no day is the same.

Weather, obstacles that may arise and need to be addressed imidiately
