It was very exciting to start working at Mgs contractor for Hendrina Power Station. I have learnt a lot and my skills just improved day by day. I have started as a Supervisor on Site. This was something new to me but I believe if you want to learn then you have the courage you will do your best to do so. I really love my job. My boss send me for courses at OHS Academy. It was great because I have a passion for study and I pass all my courses. I was working at MGS at Hebdrina Power Station since June 2012 until 2020. My reason for leaving was END OF CONTRACT IN JULY.2020I relocate back to my hometown Western Cape PROVINCE, Cape Town

When i first joined Eskom i was not clued up about it as an organisation. Through internal training I managed to learn more about the culture and the systems we are using. I also learn to work in teams which was new to me. What I like about my job is that we experience new challenges everyday which makes my job more interesting and challenging.
Pros
No limitation to career development
Cons
no gym & sport activities
Escom/Evkom was far more better managed especially financially. High amounts paid for electricity were immeduately invested which is not happening any more and that is naturally a lost of income from interest received
Pros
Still one of the better Gov / Parastatel to work for
Cons
Serious lack of vision about consequences of wrong or bad desisions taken
If I could get a chance to work for Eskom again I would grab it with both hands. But I would ask for an adjustment with salary .
Eskom is a good working environment, safety and stressless.
Productive
Gained confidence, responsibilities, and presentation skills.
Management is very informative.
Culture is easy to adapt to.
Hardest part working in a dusty and Hot environment
Eskom is a good company to work for but the sad part about being a survey technician is the limited growth. You can only be a supervisor that's it. There is no other position to grow further.
Pros
Not really
Cons
Limited skill
Customer satisfaction non existing. Management think its their personal company. No discipline and no career advance opportunities for some individuals . Politically driven
Pros
Training and safety a plus point
Cons

Eskom is well organised within its systems great managers and very good at developing Individuals , I had a good time working for Eskom they encourage stage to develop themselves
Salary was good and I enjoyed on job travelling and working in different provincies and different plant across South Africa. It was a well managed working environment but the challenge was to work abnormal hours most of the times
I've learnt that not every one is your friend at work,but you need to build working relationship with them. being a buyer you need to be honest at all times and have integrity at all times
Pros

Cons
normarl hours
It starts at 07:30hours and ends at 16:00hrs and it is full of fun and challenges, mostly being the Managemant that we are surrounded with that l feel like they like to manage people not the work,but overall l love my working and waking everyday to work.

Team work is recommended at all times to achieve favorable results
In general the workplace is incredible.

My experience at Eskom was awesome, I joined the company as an assistant management accountant and I was mentored by well experienced management accountants to learn and grow until I eventually became a project accountant.
Eskom is a very good company it groomed me. I learned to work as a team, the co workers and management they are very kind and friendly. It is very good in trainings because they offer all the trains
I learned a lot from the company and I gave them my best unfortunately I was there on the contract basis. I wish I had the permanent contract so that I can add value to the company and even grow more as an individual
As a school leavers,I needed the on job training Eskom Holdings provided me with,today I can call myself a novice technician due to the experience I received while working for Eskom.
