Senior Specialist, International Business Partner
Hired since december 2017
Why did you choose to join us at Obton?
The job posting caught my eye immediately, and at the interview I was in no doubt that Obton was the right place for me. The atmosphere was unique and the tasks were just my type.
Why do you still work for Obton today?
I'm still here because this is truly my dream job – and it continues to evolve. Over the years, I’ve been entrusted with increasing responsibility, which has given me the opportunity to grow professionally and take on more complex and strategic HR tasks. This has significantly contributed to my development and keeps me engaged and motivated.
I work with a broad range of responsibilities within HR, and there are rarely two days that are the same – which I find both exciting and rewarding. The pace is high, the business is ambitious, and I'm surrounded by passionate colleagues who contribute to a truly positive and dynamic working environment. All of this makes Obton a place where I continue to thrive and feel I make a real difference.
What are you especially happy about in your job?
I’m happy to be in a position where I continuously develop professionally. I have a manager who supports me, trusts me, and makes it clear that my contributions matter. That gives me the confidence to take on new and challenging responsibilities.
What also means a lot to me is being part of a company that contributes to the green transition. It’s motivating to know that the work we do has a positive and tangible impact on the world around us – and that I can play a role in that through my work in HR.
What is your special focus in your job?
Our employees are our most valuable asset, they are the key to our success. That’s why my focus is on attracting the right talent and creating the best possible conditions for people to thrive, perform, and grow.
In addition to working with recruitment and employee development, I also have a strong focus on strategic HR. I see it as a key part of my role to ensure that our HR efforts actively support and align with the company’s overall business strategy, so that we not only implement our HR initiatives effectively but also contribute to turning strategic goals into real results.
To me, it's essential that our employees feel motivated, supported, and part of a meaningful journey, both in their own careers and in contributing to the company’s mission within green energy.
What's the best thing about Obton as a workplace?
The best thing about Obton is our strong and positive culture. It’s a workplace characterised by a winning mentality, high engagement, and a genuine sense of joy in what we do.
There’s a strong team spirit and a shared drive to succeed, not just for the sake of performance, but because we believe in the purpose behind our work. We support each other, celebrate our successes, and stay focused on creating real impact through green energy. That combination of ambition, collaboration, and meaning makes Obton a truly special place to be.
