At Valmet Automotive we have 5 key commitments that drives our everyday work and shapes the company culture, they are:
✅ Deliver
✅ Lead at all levels
✅ Always learn
✅ Show entrepreneurial spirit,
✅ and – at the center of everything – Respect.
When continuously developing our operations and innovating new solutions, the commitment ‘show entrepreneurial spirit’ rises high. To Henrik, working as a Lead Project Engineer at the Uusikaupunki plant, it’s a mindset that drives his work, and connects his manufacturing engineering team:
- I make decisions and take action as if I was working for myself. Many of my colleagues also work as entrepreneurs alongside their day job here, says Henrik.
WHAT DOES ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT LOOK LIKE IN PRACTICE
Valmet Automotive is a unique company with experts in several industrial sectors. Valuable to Henrik is that proper support is always available when needed, which makes it easier to work with endless possibilities:
- As an engineer, my work tasks are versatile, and no workday is the same. Work can be done on computer, on-site or at customer’s location. Currently I’m for example supporting in sales cases with concept creation and general assembly related calculations, Henrik describes.
To Henrik and his team the Show Entrepreneurial Spirit commitment can be narrowed to 4 key traits:
Flexibility “Not something required daily, but being ready to adapt when needed, such as adjusting work time.”
Goal orientation “Working with a clear purpose and striving toward specific objectives.”
Initiative & leadership “Taking ownership of one’s work, prioritizing effectively, and having the opportunity to make impactful decisions.”
Risk-taking and learning from mistakes “It’s okay to make mistakes as long as you learn from them – the most important thing is that you dare to try.”
Valmet Automotive in a future oriented workplace for those who prefer the fast lane and wants to take responsibility on their own work. We are a hands on partner for manufacturing solutions to mobility and beyond.
