In her previous job, Mia held various customer-facing roles in environmental health and safety, including as a health protection, food, and environmental inspector. “I saw Protect’s job posting and was intrigued by the opportunity. Safety and quality work are close to my heart and also align with my professional expertise. Actually, I initially applied for another open position at Protect, but as the process progressed, we realized that my strengths would be best utilized specifically in a client-facing role. – I was pleased to discover during the recruitment process that Protect values its employees and that everyone has the freedom to plan their own work. I wanted to join Protect because I feel that the work done here is meaningful.

Mia is an environmental engineer by training and is also very interested in environmental issues. Her strengths include being organised and sociable – working with people and interacting with them is the lifeblood of the job!

So I have experience of the very things that Protect’s client organisations often need their partners to help them with. Mia, a native Swedish speaker, already has an impressive work history. She has also worked in Spain for 2 years in English. In the future, Mia wants to work in a variety of specialist jobs and learn new things.
