Metals and minerals are indispensable to modern society and a must for sustainable transformation. Wendy talks enthusiastically about the evolution of the mine hoists, about digitalization and electrification, and about how remote control, automation and robots can create smarter and safer mines.
"The technology is outstanding! We're constantly working on improvements and innovations to enhance safety and manage our resources more sustainably. I've worked in mining for many years, and I still love my job. My colleagues and I are passionate about what we do, and one of our biggest challenges is to pass that passion on. To drive development, we need to attract more young, innovative people with new perspectives and different ways of looking at things," says Wendy Norman.
After two years in Sweden, Wendy says without hesitation that there's nowhere else she'd rather be. She enjoys nature, freedom and history, and appreciates the work culture at ABB, which offers both responsibility and flexibility. Perhaps Wendy's daughter will also join ABB when her studies are finished.
"I always tell her that the biggest advantage of ABB is the ability to move around, within the company and around the world. Here you can find your passion and have the chance to make a real difference. For those who want international experience, the job opportunities are enormous - as an ABB employee you can move almost anywhere in the world," says Wendy Norman.
