I felt heard and part of the team and company as a whole.
A day at work would mean visiting clients /sites with clients, seeking new business, learning new products, compilation of quotations and assisting the team with meetings, sales figures and presentations nationally.
Best part of the job was building relationships with clients and making sure they were happy.
Hardest part of the job was pricing tenders (the QS team) and not landing the jobs!  It can be very disappointing and therefore made client relationship harder.  The market is very price competitive in this industry.
Management was transparent, involved and accountable.  Opinions and thoughts are encouraged from staff.  One on one discussions were almost weekly and then became bi-weekly.  More face to face communication was a massive focus instead of emails which changed the face of the business.

They are a great company, they are supportive when they see potential on you. They can take you to some trainings based on what you would like to become, to keep you happy and to improve your skills, to make you valuable. But you must know one thing that some managers like attention and at a lower level they are always your ticket to the next level. Salary scales were not accordingly and that is what turned me off with them. But they have currently updated their system, which I believe has considered salary scales as well. So to someone who would like for them I would suggest that they are a company to go to. Am not sure if they give tuition on furthering studies like SACPCMP. But due to some changes maybe you can score better. Working hours depends on the pressure of the project. 

GVK was a great place to work.
I learned time management and organisational skills and much more.
The people were friendly and management was easy to approach.
Personal requirements were taken into consideration and management always allowed time to resolve whatever personal issues needed to be attended to.
The workplace culture was one of hard work and determination, with set times for fun and silliness.
The hardest part of the job was the long hours, these were not contractually agreed upon but were required for the position of PA to the MD.
The most enjoyable part of the job was the event planning and the people that I worked with.

i start work at 0700h and finish at 04:30pm. There are lots of paper to be done on a daily basis.i was new to construction and have really learnt a lot. Thank god for the great management staff who was always ready to lend a helping hand.We have mixed cultures at our workplace and its great working with different ethnic groups. There is no hard part to this job once you get to know how the construction industry operates. the best part of this job is that you are not stuck in the office the entire day. you get to visit the site and meet a lot of interesting new people.

At Mkhulu Construction they are dealing with the towers at the bushes, they are the Sub- Escom Construction. Always make sure you are wearing your PPE in the site Helmel, safety shoes, overall and reflected you can't go in without them.
 If the rain is rain you can't work there. If you are the worker of Mkhulu Edp Construction, they give you a learneship of skills. By the pay day I always happy they don't have any stories, when it comes to getting our wages.

I have learned to work independently. And with a team.
I ddnt mind to work on weekend if it was required of me. I was pleased with my side management. Even though some were not plesent to work with. I ddnt care about his treatment. Because I knew then what I needed. A skill. Which Gvk gave me. It would be a great honor or an opportunity to work again with Gvk.
I think Gvk will give me another chance to work with me.


After almost two years at Shukuma Flooring, GVK asked me to come and work for them and I quickly climbed the ladder from being a sales rep to much more and it was a dream come true but after 4 and a bit years I needed more of an challenge and I went to work for Madiba Bay Accountancy Training to head up their new Marketing Department.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Support in your role. Being valued. Career growth. Training development. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is nothing stressful for me about the company other than the industry work challenges 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Healthy environment and good culture
