Igor Marinelli’s Post

I have been thinking in the past few days what makes me feel so committed and dedicated working at Toll. What stands out the most to me is the company culture. I feel the emphasis on teamwork and collaboration in every aspect of the organization. I feel a strong sense of unity and camaraderie amongst the team that I work with. This not only promotes a positive work environment but also enhances productivity and innovation. I can easily share my experiences and thoughts on various topics relevant to my role as an Injury Management Advisor with my manager and I trust that I am supported and gain his guidance, knowledge and skills through them. These type of management skills certainly allows everyone to contribute their unique perspectives and expertise. Toll’s commitment to continuous learning and development opportunities ensures that we are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in our roles. With ample opportunities for growth and advancement, Toll truly invests in its employees' long-term success and I can see this become a big focus particulary in the recent months. I feel that I work with a big, loving family. The strong bonds and deep friendships that have formed amongst us, creates a warm and welcoming workplace environment. We share a common vision at Toll - Safety First, always ensuring the well-being of our team members and our customers. Being surrounded with amazing management teams from various business units, not only makes coming to work enjoyable, but it also fuels passion and devotion. You can sense all above in below photo taken at Komatsu- Fairfield site with a few of my colleagues. #teamwork #business #innovation #team #growth #management #opportunities #collaboration #culture #proudtobetoll #toll

This week I started a new chapter. In fact, none of this happened overnight. It all began about a year and a half ago. I had already completed my bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and was working at Rodopar Produtos para Mineração, Óleo e Gás. It's where I interned and was hired in my field for the first time. I am extremely grateful to the Rodopar team (Eloy Gomes dos Santos, Daniel Silva) and especially to those who gave me the first opportunity, opening the doors of the company: Paulo and Sergio Barreto. You all were extremely instrumental in my career. Today, in the position I am in, I see even more how much Rodopar has added to me, both as an #engineer and as a person. Additionally, it fueled my interest in #engineering and #administration even more. Last year, I embarked on a journey through the United States, exploring the unknown, practicing English, visiting places, having experiences, and cultivating a host of friendships. But it was when I arrived in Seattle that I realized I couldn't return to my home country with the same professional baggage I had left with. Still unsure of how I would accomplish this, I came to Vancouver for the first time, where I discovered the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) and the course that caught my attention: Operations Management for Engineers (BCIT School of Business + Media). It was never an easy transition. Thank God, I always had the unconditional support of my parents, my family, and my friends by my side. Without you all, none of this would be possible. I am extremely grateful to all the people I have met in college, at work, and in life. I am also extremely grateful for the good times that have enriched me and even more for the difficult times, because that's the role of an engineer: to #solveproblems. I leave the following message: Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather facing it and fighting even when feeling afraid. Don't settle. #Chaseyourdreams! #managment #productivity #careers #socialnetworking #motivation #personaldevelopment #education

As we end the week, help us celebrate our team member Vicken Frankian’s 5-Year Anniversary! Vicken is a team player and a tremendous asset as our Project & Process Engineer. He is committed to ensuring Dixie Excellence through his hands on approach of overseeing and assessing existing processes and workflows while optimizing productivity with a focus on improvements and monitoring equipment. We made time to catch up with him to ask a few questions about his time at Dixie. This is what Vicken had to say: What's your favorite quote? When facing any hurdle at Dixie we lean on our leaders Richie, Jake and others quote of “we’ll figure it out. We’ll get creative” and get it done. What do you like about Dixie? The best part about Dixie is being part of a team where you are seen, heard, and are able to contribute greatly. We also treat each other as family and are not afraid to be real with each other. We support, challenge, and advise each other on a daily basis which keeps our momentum strong. Why have you stayed so long at Dixie? After finishing a project and seeing the final result at the Operator level, I want to use that success to move on to the next challenge. Dixie has a lot of potential for positive change and every challenge is another opportunity to make a difference. Would you recommend someone else to work at Dixie; if so, why? Dixie Chemical is a great place to learn and grow as an engineer. You have the opportunity to be hands-on from the moment you put your boots on. We may be a smaller company, but your efforts have a bigger, more noticeable impact. Do you have a favorite memory working at Dixie? My favorite memory was coordinating and executing the removal of tanks T-118 and T-138 from the plant. It was a great spectacle watching two out-of-service tanks being lifted over the units, set on a truck, and hauled away for disposal. This opened up space for future construction and proved our seriousness about making big improvements to the plant. Do you have any advice for our employees? Maybe something you learned why at Dixie? We may have different roles, but we are all working toward a common goal. Be patient and you will see how all of our efforts contribute to the success of the company. We want to thank Vicken Frankian for 5 Years of Service to the Dixie team. You are greatly appreciated and valued as a team member. #5YearsofService #DixieExcellence #DixieBlueandGreen #ProcessEngineer 

My husband is a superintendent for a petrochemical manufacturing plant. The company he works for is nearly 100 years old. Professionally, we are from very different environments. Last night I attended a celebration for his co-worker's 25th anniversary with the company. Their boss's band played, everyone had a great time. This experience made me realize 3 things: 1. In tech, we often take for granted the ability to work from anywhere at any time. Plant life is not that. 2. Culture matters, a lot. A culture of support through tough times is essential. I'd never met most of these people, but they hugged me like family. 3. Team bonding and social events are crucial. This team desperately needed to laugh together. It's important to take a step back and appreciate the value of a supportive work culture and team bonding. How do you prioritize these things in your workplace? #teamculture #teambonding #supportiveculture #tech #manufacturing

Today marks a significant milestone for Konecranes as we celebrate 30 years of independence and leadership in the material handling industry. It’s been an incredible ride for us, and at the heart of it, already from the early days, has been our drive to integrate intelligence into material handling equipment, with a vision to transform the industry. With our 30th anniversary we glance at how it all started and talk to some pioneers who have been there for the ride. Listen to Konecranes' first President and CEO Stig Gustafvson sharing the very first steps of Konecranes, and Sirpa Poitsalo, Executive Vice President, General Counsel - an employee of 30 years - reflect on how the company has moved with time. For a deeper dive, read more about how Gustavson met the challenges and scepticism as he started Konecranes with a firm instinct to build a company that would become a gamechanger.

On Thursday of this week, as many people will know, I achieved a promotion within Utility Warehouse, to Senior Team Leader. I am, as you can well imagine, absolutely delighted to have got to this next level in the company. What I wasn’t expecting was the amazing support I have received, with so many congratulatory messages (in the hundreds), voice messages and calls to from so many people within the business, as well as from many of my customers too. I feel absolutely humbled and privileged to be a part of this company for so many reasons. My upline, Mark Behling, introduced me to the business back in 2017, and has been an absolute diamond as he’s supported my journey ever since, and he continues to do so as I climb the ladder of success. I’m in a fantastic team, who offer support too, but in the wider context, being a member of #TeamPurple is an honour, as I have made friends with so many people, and we all share the love and support each other wherever possible. I wonder how many top people within a big company would call their team members to congratulate them on their accomplishments? Well, I got a call at around 1145am on Thursday, from the very top of the ladder, from Steve Critchley, who rang to congratulate me on my achievement, had a chat and now is helping me to bigger and better things with his support in a group aimed at my level and above. I’ve also received a congratulations call from head office, not to forget many more from other people. The advice I’ve had from many people has been so much appreciated as I can now clearly focus on the next stage of my journey, as well as the one after that. There will be people out there reading this who will mock what we do. That’s perfectly acceptable, as it’s not my business and I don’t have to concern myself about your negativity. As a naysayer you don’t understand the power of what this business has, and most importantly how UW looks after their team members in so many different ways, not least by offering them an income stream which can often change people’s lives, as it has me. I am a 100% staunch supporter of Utility Warehouse, not only as a customer, but as a Business Partner and a shareholder too; and I’m proud to stand up and be counted. To everyone at Utility Warehouse, my ge and well wishes, I thank you for your support, your friendship and where relevant, your business. I have now started a new chapter to reach my next two goals, Group Leader and to get 300+ personal customers. The former may well take a bit longer than the latter, but both will be achieved by me at some point soon. To those reading this who are in any business that builds teams, then I salute you all and you’ll all understand what a promotion like this means to us. That’s it from me, for now, but watch this space as I keep you informed about my progress. If you’d like your own share of glory, let’s have a chat, and I’ll tell you how I did, and how you can too. #paulhelpspeople #UWPartner

#MaintenanceMinute : The Maintenance Hero Have you ever been part of an organisation where the maintenance is out of control, the plant breaks often, and spend is erratic? Everyone is tired, negative and just want to leave! But there is one or two heroes! They are the person, when the plant breaks down, that gets the first call. The hero know how to fix everything! The hero always walks out with the accolades, the one who is ‘keeping the place running’. Sounds familiar? But what about the person that is always working on improving the way you do things? Why do we not reward the person or team that is preventing the major breakdowns? That is actively working to make incremental improvements. We should not declare the Breakdown Warrior the hero, but rather start rewarding the individual or team that is working towards continuous improvements in the plant and the way maintenance is done. If you want to change the culture, start by rewarding the right hero! What you reward, is what you will get. #heroes #maintenancecoach
