Christopher works as a Master Scheduler / Senior Planner at Amrod but started off as a Packer in 2013. In his first week at the company he applied for the job of Senior Planner which he saw advertised on the job board. Instead of being laughed at or ignored, he was told that with hard work and ambition he could go far, but first, he had much to learn.
I was studying Traffic Management at the Metro Police when I faxed my CV to Amrod in 2013. I was hired as a Packer but from my first week here I knew I wanted to be a Planner and I applied for the job straight away. I don’t limit myself, I go the extra mile. I could see that working at Amrod was not going to be just a job, it was going to be a career. They told me I must be patient and I must learn more. After three months I became a Stock Controller, then a Team Leader. After one year I was promoted to Assistant Packing Supervisor and then Assistant Planner.
Today I am a Master Scheduler, also known as a Senior Planner. Amrod recognises hard work. I plan what jobs need to be done in the day and which ones in the night-shift, I even worked night-shift for four months to see what it’s like so I could understand it better. I also changed my studies to Supply Chain Management at Damelin so that I can continue growing myself and gaining skills - it makes me happy.
I met my wife at Amrod in 2015 and soon after we had a traditional wedding which we celebrated with our family and friends.
At Amrod, we are more than a team, we are a family.
I won’t eat if they can’t. If they don’t have money for transport, we all help. I love it when people ask me for help or to train them, it means I’ve got something to give.
