Tell your manager and colleagues what you want to learn more about or which skills you wish to improve. They may be able to assign you tasks that align with your interests and supporting your personal development plan. Knowing your preferences, strengths and weaknesses makes it easier for you to ask for help when needed.

What do you like about your job and the company?

I get highly motivated when I get to work in a team that is driven by curiosity, collaboration and technical creativity! Trains attract engineers of all ages, and there is always more to learn and new technology & tools available.

Greatest achievements

A strong memory for me is when I was part of a validation team on a train in the north of France. It was a great experience, and nervous, to test train in real life! The supervision software and tests met the requirements, and the software package could be rolled out across the train fleet on time.

In my daily activities I encourage my colleagues to build a network in our team. Learning something about people that are in your professional network can help in creating strongest relations and a friendly job environment. You can start with active listening, make sure to spend time and have a chat with your colleagues regarding their issues, their hobbies, their life and about what they love to do. In this way you have chance to work in a team, where the communication is easy and you could be able to better understand people behaviour.

Top Insider Advice

As you embark on your career at Alstom, I encourage you to stay curious and embrace challenges. Curiosity drives innovation and learning, pushing you to explore new ideas, technologies, and methodologies. In an industry that is constantly evolving, asking questions and seeking knowledge will enhance your skills and keep you engaged. Don't hesitate to dive into projects outside your comfort zone; each experience will provide valuable lessons that contribute to your growth. Equally important is the mindset of embracing challenges. Engineering often involves complex problems that require creativity and perseverance to solve. When faced with obstacles, view them as opportunities to develop resilience and critical thinking. This proactive approach not only builds your expertise but also showcases your determination to succeed, which can lead to greater responsibilities and recognition within the company. Moreover, as you navigate your career, remember to cultivate a supportive atmosphere. Surround yourself with positive influences, seek mentorship from experienced colleagues, and foster collaboration within your teams. A healthy workplace is one where individuals feel valued, respected, and empowered to voice their ideas. By contributing to a culture of support and inclusivity, you not only enhance your own experience but also help create an environment where everyone can thrive. Ultimately, staying curious, embracing challenges, and nurturing a positive workplace will set the foundation for a fulfilling and successful career at Alstom.

Stepping out of your comfort zone is crucial for personal and professional growth. For me, moving from France to Romania was a transformative experience that expanded my horizons and enhanced my adaptability. It taught me to navigate new environments and cultures, enriching my perspective. Similarly, transitioning from Human Resources to procurement allowed me to develop new skills and insights. This shift has enabled me to understand business processes more deeply and contribute more significantly to my organization. Embracing these changes has ultimately empowered me to take on challenges and seize opportunities that I might have previously overlooked.
