Reflecting on her decision to take on the role, she said: “I decided that it was time to further develop my professional career and gain experience within my studied major, marketing. Especially after going through a graduate in-training programme at Bipa."

For Hein, joining Namib Mills is the realisation of her goals. “It’s always been a dream of mine to work at Namib Mills. And this opportunity, besides being the first checkmark on a bucket list, also lights a path towards career excellence and advancement within my desired profession,” she said.



New ideas

Offering advice to future job seekers, she emphasised patience and timing.

“It can be tempting to take the first job that comes your way, but sometimes, in the waiting and that season of preparation, you are getting moulded for a better one than you could have ever dreamed for,” she shared.
