BlueScope

Bluescope DIstribution is an Organisation that looks to impart the best in work culture, upskilling and Equal Opportunity.
The company has a strong emphasis on safety at work and daily life. It tries to bring out the best in individuals and looks laterally at improving business using skills, experience and expertise of all employees.
A typical day starts with planning the sequence of KPI's to be executed and then scheduling time and accomplishing all goals set in that schedule.  
Co-workers are friendly, helpful and open in sharing and assisting with upskilling if the employee is interested in going further. 
The toughest part of the job is the sadness I experience, forseeing the decline of steel manufacturing in Australia as Imports overtake locally manufactured product.
The most enjoyable part of the job is the the beginning of the day where there are a world of possibilities to the inventive mind to find better ways to improve on processes.
The other end of the spectrum is at the end of the day,  accomplishing tasks, KPI's and feeling that sense of satisfaction for job well done. 


I was excited to work there but extremely slow production line and was let go three weeks shy of being made permanent because on my break I took a nap and I was told I needed to manage my fatigue better. Mind you, we were doing 12 hour back to back shifts from 7pm to 7am and I was six months pregnant. My colleagues and supervisors used to have a little power nap in their breaks and I only learnt from the people training me that this was acceptable to do as I said I was on my break after all so I did not think this was an issue. We were not allowed to leave site on breaks either and had to get approval from management even on day shift if we wanted to go buy our lunch and would have to leave site to do so. Further to that, the permanent staff were given permission to go outside the gate on their breaks and have their cigarettes but the casuals were told that they were not allowed to smoke on site and nor were they permitted to go outside the gate (on their break) to have a cigarette, to do so would cause instant dismissal.

- A typical day at work consists of having everything in place to ensure all work requirements are met.
- I try to challenge myself everyday to learn something new.There is always something that can be learned in any position.
- Interaction with Management is extremely important to ensure communication and knowledge across the board.
- It's important to have a good functioning peer relationship to establish outcomes and help where needed.
- I find the hardest part of the job is making sure I have enough time in the day to achieve all requirements, if the requirements are not met by the end of the day then I make sure I stay until they are.
-The most enjoyable part of the job was contributing to the smooth running of the company and achieving all goals set for my position. Satisfaction guaranteed.

This job was one of the most enjoyable company I had ever worked for since immigrating from New Zealand, their scope on safety was very essential to the running of the company, from the CEO down to the supervisors, we were all treated as equals, sharing ideas and concerns with the daily running of the machines and mobile equipment, the hardest part of the job was getting used to the heat during the summer, even tho we had industrial fans running most of the time, it was still hot, it would take someone at least 3 to 6 months or more to get to know most of the workers their having a rotating shift roster for the three different crews running each shift, so , in saying all that, my time working at the Acacia Ridge, Bluescope Steel site in Lysaght street, was very rewarding and enlightening as I drew some of ideas I learned and incorporated them in to my own lifestyle, so, thanks guys it was awsome...

I worked 7 to 7, day and night shifts, I worked on a 3 day 2 night roster with 4 days off between rosters, 14 days a month.
I learned much at Bluescope Steel, Occupational Health and Safety was where I made a significant contribution, keeping the work place as safe as was possible.
Management were responsive and receptive early on in my career at Bluescope, but, the culture changed over the years to the point where people were treated as just a number instead of a valued member of the company.
I had many good friends at Bluescope, I still see many of the people I used to work with, the people made it pleasant to go to work.
I guess the hardest part of my job was working the night shifts, I never quite got used to them, and the most enjoyable part was that I was my own boss, I had certain responsibilities and I was left to run my own race in despatch, I enjoyed the responsibility.

As I moved from South Africa, I was given the opportunity to start working at Bluescope as a Pricing Analyst, although this is outside my main body of knowledge and skills, I was able to apply a lot of the practices and behaviors applied in ICT support environment to improve the Department BAU daily interactions. Initially this was Basic Pricing management and analyses, however participated several projects were executed in the Team/ department and Business to optimize operations and roll-out major pricing changes

However I am currently also been assigned in working and planning a mayor Standardization and Optimization project to transition the Pricing conditions for my Business Unit from the Legacy Business unit structure to the new Business as recently restructured .

My job varies from day to day. I could be using forklifts to get customer orders correlated and packed from fencing products to rain water goods to assembling shed packs to serving customers who collect their respective orders .
I am currently the OH&S representative for the factory and have held this position for 8 of my 10 years.
My co workers are all good to get on with.
The hardest part of my job is serving customers who have vehicles that are unsuitable for their purchase. We have high restrictions on vehicle loads, and telling them that we cannot load them or their vehicle can be demanding on us and them.
The most enjoyable part is the variety of my job.

Chopped and changed with no reason for example even the startup toolbox meetings could not be decided on the location by the ever changing management it seemed to be only wanting to justify there position (that went down the ladder to supervisers/team leaders) resulting in a confused and stress sutup. This of course filtered to stressing all.The chop and change way caused many mistakes which resulted in a "blame game mentality"or "us against them". Probably a clear example was going for the Xmas shutdown period which for years had some food or a couple of hampers up for winning in a raffle and even a small ($20) gift card jesture to not even a five cent Xmas card each. Not good for moral !!

Reliable and adaptable General Labor worker with an agreeable disposition and a stellar customer service ethic. Adept multitasker with abilities to handle a number of workplace responsibilities with accuracy and efficiency. Wide experience in a variety of types of physical labor. 
Robust physical stamina for performing strenuous and repetitive tasks . 
High ability to follow written and oral instructions
Strong basic mathematical skills
Excellent grasp of safety guidelines for a variety of job contexts
Good oral and written communication abilities.
