Hey everyone, today I have some personal insights to share, specifically about my career. I've been working in the measurement technology department for a year now, and I’d like to tell you a bit about it. But let's start from the very beginning.

In 2007, I began my training as a metal technician with a focus on machining technology at a company that specialized in manufacturing various machine components. My work focus was on turning and milling techniques, and later CNC processes were also added. However, the company ran into financial difficulties and eventually had to file for bankruptcy.

Therefore, I switched to a specialized company for the development and manufacturing of driver cabins before the impending bankruptcy in 2009, where I was able to successfully complete my training. This switch was definitely the right decision, as the training at this company was much more comprehensive and of higher quality, allowing me to learn a lot. In this company, it is customary to work in all departments for several months to gain a comprehensive insight into the entire operational structure.

After that, I worked for some time as a CNC miller and metal worker until a year ago when the opportunity arose to move to the measurement technology department. Fortunately, I accepted despite my initial skepticism because the required precision and the possibilities of modern measuring devices and software fit perfectly with my professional ambitions.

The advantage of the measurement technology department in this company is, in my opinion, that it is not located within the realm of quality assurance but is part of development. This means it involves prototype construction, new developments, and varied tasks, not just series control and monotonous activities.

In my current position, I am primarily responsible for measuring, calibrating, and maintaining welding fixtures. This ensures consistently high production quality. Additionally, I am responsible for building prototypes that often have more complex geometries. This way, we can offer our customers products of the highest precision and quality from the very beginning. Other tasks include measuring purchased parts and inspecting gauges. I also create detailed technical measurement reports. So, the work is always diverse and varied.

I find that measurement technology is a versatile and exciting field. My future plans definitely include further qualifications and increasing specialization in this area. Since perfectionism is one of my core competencies, I believe measurement technology is the ideal professional home for me.

Oh, and I’ve developed some tools to make my work easier. Even though the target audience of my website is more fitness-related, I don’t want to withhold them from you. I used to have these tools in Google Sheets. And yes, I took some weekend evenings to program them as practical tools. Maybe a metal technician or measurement technician will randomly stumble upon my site and benefit from it as well. 🙂🔧
