Eskom hiring engineers to fix load-shedding — and launching a crowdsourced skills database

Eskom says it will soon launch an online skills database to crowdsource experts for the power utility to hire. It will recruit suitable candidates that have already put up their hands to help fix load-shedding "imminently".

Eskom said it had received an "overwhelming" response to its call for skilled personnel to come forward to assist in rebuilding skills inside the organisation.

Except if you are white huh?

Except these days its even more strict, you must never have spoken ill of the ANC at minimum, or you need an ANC bigshot to be your patron.

Still putting quotas before substance.

I once stole R5 from my granny... does that help qualify?

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

yay, more plans by the Idi0ts in charge.

 

[ColdComfort]

I would say Eskom needs mercenaries to protect their plants and equipment from saboteurs before getting more engineers.

It pisses me off a lot more when people or companies implement obvious fixes too late vs the infrastructure being fckd.

“The process will be driven by the needs of Eskom and will follow a standard governance process for fixed-term contracting,” Pule stated.

Pity its not driven by the needs of the country or its economy.

The urgency of all gov-related entities is astounding.

They can't even launch a skills database. It's a ****ing email box

Eskom said although the platform was still under development, individuals who wished to be considered could contact Pule’s office via email at [email protected].

There is probably some sod sitting there adding contacts to a big spreadsheet.

Some sod? Please you need a 1000 graduates and supervisors and senior managers to do that job

The urgency of all gov-related entities is astounding.

That basically sums it up. 2 Months later and nothing. Wasn't it an emergency? INCOMPETENCE ASTONISHING.

 

[StBlade]

"provide an equitable opportunity for all those willing to be considered for service"

And right there Eskom shows how serious they are taking the situation. Heaven forbid that you get a bunch of competent whities to fix your mess.

 

[whatwhat]

Even if they fix it, they need a competent maintenance team else things will just be Boom! when they turn it on.

 

[TimTDP]

Why only now?

 

[wingnut771]

Why only now?

Hot air and diversion tactics. IWBIWISI. They’re still banging the transformation drum.
