“I worked in HVAC in Port Elizabeth for ten years and always looked up to ITD Group as an industry leader. I started working for the company in 2017. ITD Group is professional and target driven, and at the same time family-orientated. The teams are really supportive of each other. There is always someone I can go to if I need advice or support. Every day is a different challenge, no day is ever the same, this is what I love about my job. The company may be big, but as an employee you are not just a number. They see a future in you. I have been enrolled on a Leadership Programme at the Nelson Mandela University Business School to enhance my leadership role. During my time at ITD Group, I have grown from Technical Team Leader to Head of Department for Service. If you are willing and motivated to grow, ITD is willing to develop and invest in you. They encourage you to challenge yourself to reach your full potential.”
“I started working at ITD Group as a Contract Cleaner and would volunteer to learn aspects of the Workshop during my work day. After six months my Supervisor asked me to join the Workshop team on a permanent basis. I was determined to push myself to learn about the different areas of manufacturing and soon worked my way up to making different ducting, operating machinery and I started working with the Contracts Department to coordinate the delivery of ducting to Sites. From there I was given the opportunity to join the Commissioning Department as an Air-balancing Assistant. This opened the door for me to join the BMS Department where I currently work as a BMS Technician. From my time working as a Cleaner in the Workshop through to my current position the company has always supported my studies and has given me the flexibility that I needed to attend lectures and complete my qualifications. In 2019 I received the opportunity to go on a training course on a new, state-of-the-art controls system in Germany. This was such a great experience for me. My focus since starting at ITD Group has always been to grow myself in the company and prove that I can be an asset to the team. It has been an exciting journey and I am proof that you can work your way up. If you want to grow, you can grow at ITD.”
“I started working for ITD Group in October 2016 as Receptionist and front of office support. Management has an open door policy so they know that I am the type of person who is always looking for something new to do, something that will challenge me. During 2018 I was given the opportunity to further my studies and after advising about the new roles I would like to take on and how I would like to evolve, management created a new position for me within the company. I am now the Support Administrator which gives me more responsibility and allows me to do more of the work I am interested in and passionate about. I am very happy about this. This creation of a new role for me is what ITD Group’s culture is all about. There is a lot of support and teamwork. ”
“I started my journey with ITD Group in 2015.My career started as a Trainee Apprentice in the Manufacturing Department. Towards the end of 2017, the company offered me an internship opportunity in the Contracts Department, I was in the role of Contracts Administrator. A year later, I was employed permanently as a Junior Mechanical Engineer. In this role I had the opportunity to be on site and contribute towards HVAC installations. In 2021, I was promoted to the senior position of Mechanical Engineer. I now have more responsibility and I am able to lead projects from start to finish. ITD Group has supported my growth from Apprentice to Engineer by constantly motivating me to challenge myself. They have given me the freedom to experiment and to learn from my experiences. The company has supported my successful application for registration as a Candidate Engineering Technologist with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA). Every day is a new challenge when it comes to HVAC and I am excited to grow as a woman and a leader in this industry.”
