This site was commissioned in 1954, and a lot of the original equipment is still there. This, plus a history of poor methods of document control means a lot of time is wasted trying to find accurate, up to date information. As an engineer, this is a terrifying prospect, as you could be referencing inaccurate information while making a technical decision. The work flow management system for engineering is convoluted and ineffective, leading to wasted time and frustration. I've been told the work flow management is being reviewed by a consultant and will be improved... though on what timeline is TBD. The nickel industry has been in a crisis for the last few years so Sherritt is currently in austerity mode. The company is at the tail end of a already 1-2 year long reorg, and the frustration of many roles being in-limbo for the last 6-8 months is taking its toll on moral.
