I became the Team Leader in the SCADA1 department after being promoted about five months ago. I’m responsible for the delivery of parcel projects.
To enhance customer intimacy, my day-to-day responsibilities include closely collaborating with my team in Pune, as well as colleagues located in customer centres in The Netherlands and Spain. I focus on setting goals to help the team move up the value chain, and I hold one-to-one meetings with them to understand their career aspirations, explore learning opportunities and drive continuous improvement.
It’s been quite a journey for me, because I started at Vanderlande as a trainee in 2010. I was not only the first female engineer to join the controls team, but also the first female engineer from Pune to go to an airport site for commissioning.
