As Leading Engineer, I lead the mechanical design team. I assign the mechanical design work assignments and schedule them, and inspect the work and ensure that they are completed on schedule.

When I was younger, it was clear to me that I would study electrical engineering and I completed a vocational qualification for electrical engineering in vocational school. I worked in industry at a few different jobs with machine building and did that for a few years. Then I learned more about the work of mechanical engineers and it began to interest me to the extent that I began studying industrial engineering at a University of Applied Science while working.

Here in modernization, we make changes and improvements to equipment that customers already have on-site. Modernization can be used to add new technology into old cranes or replace already discontinued products, for example, by new technology or new components. Using modernization, we are able to give cranes a new life. We are able to modernize an old crane practically limitlessly. It is possible to only implement small changes, but then modernization may be done in a manner where only one original component of the old crane is left, which too is referred to as modernization.

It is rewarding when you start the design work based on resources of slightly poor starting point and still everything falls into place - that is very rewarding.

What I find inspiring in my job is that it is really diverse, every day is different, and I am able to see the results of my design work.
