From HVAC design to system administrator

Roni Saarimaa

System Administrator

Roni Saarimaa works for one of our important partners – the Elomatic engineering agency – as system administrator for the drinking water system. He was hired for his current job through recruitment training. As a system administrator, Roni’s workdays consist of updating design sketches related to drinking water systems, making plans related to scheduling, the work situation and resources, and coordination. In addition, Roni is the contact person of his own team and clients.

Roni has a Master’s degree in chemical engineering, but he did not have any previous experience in the shipbuilding industry. He had worked as a coordinator in Belgium and at a pulp factory in Chile, for example. He also had some experience in logistics. Roni specialised in HVAC design during the recruitment training. However, he was selected for his current position because of his active approach to work and suitability for the job description.

Roni has a lot of good things to say about his employer Elomatic. He says that the atmosphere was already warm and welcoming during his job interview. On a day-to-day basis, the pleasant work atmosphere is visible as an open discussion channel all the way to the management group and the mutual desire of employees to help each other.

Roni says that the most challenging part of being a system administrator is prioritisation. Since there is a lot of work, tasks must be prioritised according to the amount of time available. The work also requires a passion for continuous learning, the ability to quickly absorb new information, and good communication skills. The most rewarding part of the work is problem solving, receiving positive feedback and the feeling of success.

Roni also encourages other people who are interested in the marine industry to consider recruitment training opportunities. The industry has an exceptionally good employment situation and shipbuilding offers a variety of interesting jobs. Another of Roni’s long-term goals is to try and focus on environmentally friendly choices via his work.
