From Haulotte Singapore to Haulotte Australia!

Tell us a bit of yourself!

I have started my career after graduating with Bachelor of Engineering Mechatronics in 2007, have worked in Singapore’s MEWP industry as an Engineer for 11 years, out of which, past 6 years with Haulotte Singapore as a Service Engineer and Trainer. In 2014, when I first joined Haulotte, I went out into field very often for interventions, and it is significantly reduced due to different assignments and responsibilities such as Technical Support, Trainings and Warranty Administration. In February 2020, I relocated into Haulotte Australia. Thanks to the employer sponsored family visa arrangements by the Australian subsidiary, I have been enabled to settle with my family in Australia. Special thanks to John CHAN and Evan GOULIS for their bold decisions and invaluable guidance during my relocation, without them it was indeed an impossible task.

From Haulotte Changzhou to Haulotte Shanghai!

Lei ZHANG I Service Engineer

Tell us a bit of yourself!

My interest is working on machinery, and also I applied to working in foreign companies, that prompted me to come to Haulotte. It has been eight years since I first came to Haulotte Changzhou. I’ve been working in the workshop for seven years. I always want to learn new things. Fortunately, there is an opportunity in Shanghai. So I decided to have a try.

 

Who has been the biggest mentor in your professional career?

I consider Maya as my main mentor in my professional career. I was only 19 when I first came to Haulotte. At that time, I complained a lot when I was in trouble during my work. Maya let me know that the best way to get the rid of troubles is to figure out the cause of the problem and have more tries patiently instead of complaining.

 

Tell us more about the relocation…

With the help of department manager and HR, I successfully became an Haulotte Shanghai employee on June 24th, 2019.

Moving to Haulotte Shanghai has not been a difficult decision. Although my family live in Changzhou, they all support me a lot. They think I will improve very fast in Shanghai. I appreciate my family so much, especially my wife. She takes good care of our daughter and our parents in Changzhou. I think my experience in Changzhou helped me a lot. Compared with other candidates, I am more familiar with Haulotte machines.

 

What will you miss about your last job at Haulotte Changzhou?

Sure, I miss everything from Changzhou as relationships with colleagues were great. They considered me as a hardworking and helpful guy. But we need to move forward. I had such a good opportunity and my colleagues in Shanghai help me a lot. So I finished my own tasks and instructed the replacement person to make sure he can take up my job. Now I enjoy my job in Shanghai as well!

 

Tell us about your adjustment, accomplishments & goals

My role changes from a workshop operator to a workshop engineer. I need to learn actively and ask for advice modestly.

I do SMI when we receive new machines and conduct PDI before the delivery. Also, I will be responsible of the delivery of the machines according to the customer demands. I probably will learn how to repair machines in the workshop! Anyway I will help with workshop environment maintenance. I sometimes will help to repair some office electronics when it is urgent and the repairman is not available.

 

 What about the company culture?

There is a good corporate spirit and shared values. Codes of conduct and cultural environment are the ground for positive development. I hope the business of Haulotte Shanghai will be better and better with the effort of all employees in Shanghai including mine.

 

What do you hope to be doing in five years?

As colleagues think I am hardworking, helpful and have strong willingness to learn new thing, I hope to continue growing within the company. Within five years, I would like to improve myself on problem solving methods with Haulotte machines and become a skilled engineer.
