Otis Högmyr Operation Team Lead & Håkan Kempe Installer
Tell us about yourselves and your roles here at Svea Solar!
My name is Otis (on the left in the picture) and I’m a 20-year-old certified supervisor. I have been working at Svea for 1.5 years. On the right in the picture is me Håkan. I’m 27 years old, works as an installer and has been working at Svea for about a year. Our team consists of two people, and we have worked in both Stockholm and Uppsala during our time here at Svea Solar.
What is the best thing about working together as a team?
That we not only function well as colleagues and move forward together but also that we have become good friends. Whatever happens, we are there for each other and support each other when challenges arise. We never thought we would become so close, but when I, Otis, was asked to become a supervisor and our team was formed, we made everything work together and significantly increased our productivity. And we didn't even know each other before. Nowadays, we hardly need to talk to get things done and understand each other, although, of course, we still do, but mostly about non-work-related matters. Everyday life is more enjoyable together, and that's the best part in our eyes.
Fun facts about you two?
We were born on the same day, but 7 years apart. Both of us enjoy nature and thrive in working outdoors. Once, we even went camping together right in the middle of the workweek.
What motivates you to work?
One thing that motivates us is the bonus system we have. A system that benefits those who put in that little extra effort and as a result, get extra work done. We appreciate that you get more if you do more. Another thing is the job development opportunities that exist.
Why would you recommend others to join Svea Solar as installers?
Because the ambitious have the opportunity to grow and climb in both position and salary fairly quickly. But also because it's a great chance to do something important, for real, for both the environment and yourself. Here, one can develop, not just professionally but personally as well.
