Saija Pottala joins Protect as Safety and Quality Specialist
In March, Protect recruited three new safety and quality specialists, the first of whom is Saija Pottala from Kokkola. She will be based at the Kokkola office and will join Protect's HSEQ expert team.
Saija has a long experience in industry, most recently as HSEQ Manager of an industrial operation and maintenance services company and as the company's Health and Safety Manager. Saija had been interested in Protect as a company for some time and now the time seemed right to apply for the vacant position. The opportunity to make wider use of his own expertise in developing management systems was an attractive factor.
- Developing management systems, understanding the big picture and working with people are my strengths. I want to use my expertise to help companies so that the results of their work are seen as efficient, smooth and people-oriented operations that are financially profitable," says Saija.
As part of the HSEQ expert team
Saija already had a positive impression of Protect as a company during the recruitment phase, and this impression has been strengthened even more after the first week of orientation.
- Colleagues working in safety and quality organisations are often in other locations or do not exist at all. At Protect, I was surrounded by a team of experts and a working community where knowledge, skills and challenges can be shared and addressed together," he says.
- Developing continuous learning and job-related motivation is an important part of the work of a specialist company. Experts like Saija always bring new perspectives to the work community. When our clients hire our expertise, they have access to the skills of our entire team at the same time. The broader our knowledge base, the better our customer satisfaction.
