Fate had other plans for Mamokete when she was spotted on-site, at one of AMCE’s big projects. Today, 11-months later, in August 2019, after joining the organization, Mamokete has not looked back. She has big dreams for her future and the organization. “I see myself as a Professionally Registered Senior Engineer leading big projects, not just in South Africa but also across the borders as I foresee AMCE crossing borders soon.”

Mamokete said she loves AMCE because it supports its employees in developing themselves and their careers. “As a graduate who is still to decide which Civil Engineering subdivision to specialize in, the company is giving me broad exposure to enable me to conclude on the path I wish to take. There is huge room for growth within the company and it’s a pleasure to work for a company that is growing as it keeps yourself abreast of the new and recent developments in the industry. I love working with Professionals that I am constantly learning from, receiving mentorship, and who also push me to take on new challenging opportunities as they arise.”

As a candidate Engineer, Mamokete explained what her job entails. “My work includes designing structural elements such as beams, columns and foundations, preparation of technical drawings and reports. I also coordinate with professional team members to ensure that all project deadlines are achieved on time and to the client’s satisfaction.”

Mamokete had this to say, encouraging South African youth, “as the youth of South Africa it is entirely up to us to utilize the opportunities paved for us by those who have sacrificed themselves for our freedom. We should keep developing ourselves and never stop learning, as Albert Einstein once said: “Once you stop learning, you start dying.”
