Efter sexton år på samma bolag kände Mikael Juretic att det var dags att göra något annat. Att utmanas i sitt arbete är något han värdesätter och han hade funderat på att söka sig vidare ett tag. Kanske till och med byta bransch helt. När han fick se en annons att Plantvision sökte IT-konsulter så gjorde han slag i saken och ansökte. Det skulle bli början på en utmanade och rolig resa.
He joined as an IT consultant, but it wasn't more than a few months before he moved into a management role. Today he is Consultant Manager for the Industry Information team.
"I guess I've never been a real hacker, but I appreciate the dialogue with customers and the social aspect. So the role I have today suits me really well. But I do still do some consulting. Mostly to get an insight into how the team is doing, what challenges they face, and if they run into problems. Then I'm there to help and support. We are now a close-knit team of experts who work very closely with the customer, with daily meetings and reviews," he says.
Working closely with the team, supporting and being there for each other is something that Plantvision employees value - and is high on the company's agenda. There are many consulting teams internally and Mikael's team is represented across the country.
"I myself am stationed in Kista, but my team works from different geographical locations, it's the customer assignments that rule. We sit in the customer's systems, which they have acquired from us, and we have the experience and knowledge to run this type of IT system in production," Mikael explains.
Mikael är civilingenjör i botten och fyra år har passerat sedan han kom till PlantVision. Då, som nu, ser han många fördelar och möjligheter med att jobba inom en större konsultverksamhet.
"A big advantage is the constant change that it means to constantly bring in new customers and meet their needs and challenges. We can take on virtually any client assignment where our expertise is needed. And not being geographically locked in gives us a lot of variation," says Mikael.
In his role as Consultant Manager , there are some things that Mikael likes to highlight, which he sees as particularly important for creating a dynamic team.
"Understanding and insight into the client's mission is crucial to doing a good job. But structure and good cooperation are also important factors in creating a well-functioning team. I think it's important to be present, insightful, encouraging and helpful. All the time, I work to try to create an atmosphere where people are not afraid to ask questions, make mistakes or ask for help. I think that creates a positive team spirit," says Mikael.
The team has implemented and managed a number of attractive projects over the past few years, a journey that would not have been possible without all the dedicated people who make up the expert team.
"Our whole team is on an innovative growth journey that we are looking forward to with excitement. I myself am driven by challenges, which is very important for me to thrive. And now we are expanding the team and looking for more driven and ambitious employees who want to be involved in developing our offer and creating attractive IT solutions," concludes Mikael.
