Jenna Hintsanen: “Versatile role including both technical issues and people management”

Jenna Hintsanen has been working as a project engineer at Quant for a year and a half. Jenna, who graduated as a HVAC-engineer, joined Quant just a month after graduating. She is a great example of a motivated and skilled professional who enjoys her work.

Jenna’s job has been shaped by the site’s resource needs and has offered her a lot of responsibility and freedom to carry out her work. She handles personnel resourcing, coordinates task, and informs both Quant’s and the client’s personnel about project-related issues and schedules.

– I keep everyone up to date and of course I also take care of general ongoing issues related to projects. In addition, I make equipment hierarchies, maintenance instructions, spare parts inventory, and take care of coordinating these issues going forward. The work is really versatile and includes both technical issues and people management, Jenna says.

She emphasizes the importance of teamwork in succeeding in the role.

– I think that the key factors to succeed in this role are organizational skills, taking initiative and having social skills, but I could not do my job without having a good team around me. Or of course I could, but it would be really difficult. It is easier for me to do my job well when I have such a good team around me, as we have here, Jenna says.

Encouraging work community

Jenna describes Quant’s work community as warm and encouraging. She particularly appreciates that her colleagues are always ready to help and share their expertise.

– We have a really good team spirit, I really like these people. It is great to see how skilled the people working here are, it motivates me to develop myself. At first, the work was completely new to me, but I have received a lot of support from my colleagues and I have learned a lot about different processes and techniques.

Jenna is currently pursuing postgraduate studies in energy technology in addition to her work, but is also considering the possibility of deepening her expertise in the automation sector. She sees that Quant offers good opportunities for her to develop her professional skills.

– I want to learn more about automation, because it is the technology of the future. Now that I have seen more programming and automation, it seems interesting, and I would like to learn more. I have even thought about future studies related to the subject and I believe that I can utilize the things I have learned in my work at Quant in the future as well.

She finds Quant’s position as an international company an interesting opportunity to meet and learn from colleagues working in other countries.

– I met colleagues from different countries for the first time very soon after I started at Quant, when a three-day training event was organized in Finland. I think it was nice to meet them and hear their experiences. In the future, it would be nice to be able to do more cross-country cooperation with other sites, and see more customer sites, Jenna says.

In the future, Jenna wants to bring even more positive energy and new ideas to the work community!
