🇲🇾 High Voltage Cables Engineering Management | MBA FMVA® MEng IntPE(MY) | Ørsted

Celebrating the completion of my second year in Ørsted ! Here are some interesting experiences I had in my second year: 1. Parental Leave of 12 weeks for the birth of my second child. A global policy which meant a Malaysian baby and family is just as important as any around the world to the organisation. 2. Seeing the company adapt to a tough industry situation, which meant saying goodbye to some awesome colleagues whose roles had become redundant globally. 3. My first trip to South Korea to a submarine cable manufacturer's plant. 4. My first trip to China to another submarine cable manufacturer's plant. 5. My first time working on a project for Poland. 6. My first time participating in employee elections resulting in me being appointed as an Alternate Employee-Elected Member of the Board of Directors Orsted A/S 2024-2025. There's no official duty since I'm only an alternate though. My reflections at this time based on the fact that the renewable energy industry will definitely grow towards 2050 1. As an employee, there's a need to relentlessly develop skills and knowledge to be a valuable asset in growing this industry towards 2050 2. There will be ups and downs in the industry towards 2050 due to various external circumstances which we must have robust plans to withstand, and adapt rapidly as required to keep moving forward. 3. To provide opportunity for anyone without prior RE industry experience to get involved, we need to ensure there exists free access to certification in RE industry basics. That will remove any barrier to entry for new and experienced talents. 4. We need great engineers to design and deliver better assets, so engineering careers need to be encouraged by ensuring that the industry's scale of fees encourage engineers to aspire to become world class specialists and consultants. Paying engineers well results in longer term cost savings and improvement in quality. 5. The RE targets for 2050 will only materialise if there is a supply chain that can deliver, regulations and policies that support it, and lastly grid systems that can enable it. So this means the entire industry needs to move together towards this target and we need to collaborate to make it happen. With that, I'd say that I'm grateful for the eventful year for me and I'm positively curious what the next year holds for me and the industry.

I see quite a few ‘firsts…’ for you, and I am sure there will be more to come in the 3rd year! We should have a cup of coffee in the pantry to catch up 😄

And just like that, it's now been 2 years since we first met at the pantry on Level 32 on our first day. This calls for a celebration! 😊
