Project Manager Jarmo Henttinen has taken charge of the repair work at several substations that Fingrid has overhauled in recent years, as well as the construction of new substations. The overhauls of the Imatra and Länsisalmi substations, among others, have had a substantial visible impact on nationally significant landscapes.
Sirpa Kulmala has enjoyed a grandstand view of the development of Finnish energy system.
This year, Fingrid took third place in the Large Companies category of the Responsible Summer Job competition.
Working in substations and on power lines requires service providers to have special expertise and uncompromising occupational safety management. Fingrid verifies the competences of the personnel of service providers involved in maintenance work through qualification. It is hoped that a national qualification practice will be agreed for the sector.
Are you hacking at rocks or building a cathedral? When you understand the purpose of your work, you will also find motivation, writes Tiina Miettinen, Senior Vice President, HR and Communications at Fingrid.
The University of Tampere has awarded Fingrid’s HVDC Unit Manager Tuomas Rauhala the title of docent in the field of decentralised resources in the electrical power system.
The industry transformation is reflected in the recruiting being done by energy companies. Fingrid still needs electrical engineering experts, but many other educational backgrounds are also suitable for transmission system operator employees.
Timo Kiiveri, M.Sc. (Eng.), MBA, has been appointed to Fingrid’s executive management group as Senior Vice President responsible for asset management. He will join the company on 1 July 2019.
Fingrid is part of the national Finland Young Professionals network. Networking is beneficial for developing company strategy and for the careers of young talents.
The biggest safety risks in Fingrid’s operations are related to physical work that is mainly performed by main and subcontractors specialised in that field. Occupational safety has always been considered a priority, and is taken into account in the contract agreements.
