Eskom Reviews

What is it like working at Eskom?

It is not easy because the company is operating with old fleet, ended up overspending in maintenance budgets and not meeting the customer's expectations.
Fleet Supervisor in Richards Bay:
Pros: Flexibility and friendly systems.
Cons: Employees hearings that involve dismissal verdict.
I would say its boring, in a sense that, I keep doing the same thing everyday its challenging at all.
Electrician in Cape Town:
Pros: Restoring supply to our customers
Cons: Overtime
Difficult but satisfying.
Project Manager, (Unspecified Type / General) in Cape Town:
Pros: I can use my own discretion
Cons: Poor advice from recent recruits who have been made managers
It is restrictive as there are a number of departments and sections within those departments so one does not get to do all functions an Electrical Engineer is supposed to.
Electrical Engineer in Durban:
Pros: It deals with what impacts the customer most and by executing my duties well i directly impact the quality of life of our customers.
Cons: There is only so much that I can do under the banner of Performance, the moment I venture to other avenues I am no longer performing my duties but stepping on other people's toes
Starting a project from inception and ultimately seeing the final product.
Scheduling Manager in South Africa:
Pros: That i am contributing positively to the livelihoods of South Africans by being part of development and execution of Electricity Infrastructure projects. Being part of a team that is always positive about the achievements of our goals. Learning from others and also sharing my knowledge.

Challenging with limited control for planning and execution.

Pros: Employee support structures
Cons: No work-life balance
Hard work but I enjoy it.
