Dedication and the right mindset are essential for performing my best. I maintain a “Can do. Will do.” attitude.

Challenges motivate me. I enjoy being a part of large-scale projects that involve complicated tasks in difficult environments.

What do you think is the most remarkable or exciting case you have worked on? And why?

The most remarkable case I have worked on was my first assignment with ZITON. It was the decommissioning of an old offshore wind farm in Sweden. Prior to this assignment, I had been building new wind turbines, and now I got to take part in taking down 17-year-old turbines, which was an interesting experience.

My work has taught me to be more tolerant and to see situations from different perspectives. I have become more adaptable to new environments and situations.

Why is this your dream job?

This is my dream job because it involves working on large-scale projects that involve vessels, large cranes, wind turbines, and special tools. I also have the opportunity to develop and find myself while making a positive environmental impact.

I enjoy spending most of my free time with my family. I also like to be outdoors in nature, such as hiking, cycling, and exploring the forest.
