Summer at Normet: Electrical Design Trainee

Miko Piippo, Summer Trainee, Electrical Design

Miko Piippo, who worked as an electrical designer at Normet during the summer, feels that the experience has especially improved his problem-solving skills. “I’ve learned to face very different types of problems and think about alternative ways to solve them.”

His tasks as an electrical designer have been diverse and educational: assisting lead electrical designers by finalizing electrical diagrams and conducting various research work. In addition, Miko had the opportunity to support production in the role of a stand-by engineer. “That has been one of the most enjoyable and interesting tasks of the summer. As a stand-by engineer, you work at the interface between employees and designers, and as a bonus, you get to move around the factory floor, which brings a nice change from office work.”

Miko has been particularly pleased with Normet’s work atmosphere and team spirit. “The atmosphere here is very open and warm.” He also fondly remembers the summer trainees’ shared leisure activities and the orientation day organized for them, which provided a chance to learn more about Normet and meet other summer trainees.

Studying Electrical and Automation Engineering at Savonia University of Applied Sciences, Miko has started to think more about his career direction thanks to this summer. He sees Normet as an excellent employer and career opportunity. “I would definitely be interested in working here again in the future.”

Sähkösuunnittelijana Normetilla kesän ajan työskennellyt Miko Piippo kokee, että kesä on kehittänyt erityisesti hänen ongelmanratkaisutaitojaan. "Olen oppinut kohtaamaan tosi erityyppisiä ongelmia ja miettimään vaihtoehtoja niiden ratkaisemiseksi."

Työtehtävät sähkösuunnittelijana ovat olleet monipuolisia ja opettavaisia: pääsähkösuunnittelijoiden avustamista piirtämällä sähkökaavioita puhtaaksi ja tekemällä erilaista selvitystyötä. Lisäksi Miko pääsi kesän aikana tukemaan tuotantoa päivystäjän roolissa "Se on ollut kesän yksi mukavimpia ja kiinnostavimpia tehtäviä. Päivystäjänä pääsee toimimaan työntekijöiden ja suunnittelijoiden välisessä rajapinnassa, ja plussana vielä se, että pääsee liikkumaan tehtaan puolella, mikä tuo kivaa vaihtelua toimistotyöhön."

Erityisen tyytyväinen Miko on ollut Normetin työilmapiiriin ja yhteishenkeen. "Ilmapiiri täällä on tosi avoin ja lämmin." Lisäksi kesältä ovat jääneet mieleen myös kesätyöntekijöiden yhteiset vapaa-ajanvietot, ja heille järjestetty perehdytyspäivä, jonka aikana pääsi tutustumaan tarkemmin Normetiin ja toisiin kesätyöntekijöihin.

Sähkö- ja automaatiotekniikkaa Savonia-ammattikorkeakoulussa opiskeleva Miko on kesän myötä alkanut pohtia yhä enemmän omaa urasuuntautumistaan. Hän näkee Normetin erittäin hyvänä työnantajana ja uramahdollisuutena. "Olisin ehdottomasti kiinnostunut työskentelemään täällä myös jatkossa."
