”Helping customers have a safe workplace is our drive”
Since 2019, Isac Hallberg has worked as an inspection engineer, ensuring that pressurized devices meet the highest safety standards. With a background as an operations engineer from the Kalmar Maritime University and experience in the energy industry, Isac has developed a deep understanding of both operations and maintenance.
Hi Isac, what is your background and education that has led to the job you have today?
– I am a trained operations engineer at the Kalmar Maritime University and have since worked mostly in the energy industry with various assignments, mainly operations but also maintenance. I have met inspection engineers at most of the workplaces where I have worked, but it was only when I took training for boiler operator certification that I came into contact with Kiwa and one thing led to another.
What do your duties include?
– I carry out inspections of pressurized devices, everything from a compressed air tank to larger boiler systems via the cooking pot at the restaurant and the cooling machine at the local ice rink. Pipelines and tanks are also inspected. I have a very diverse customer base where I get to meet a lot of different people and see a multitude of different industries.
Why have you chosen to work in the TIC industry?
– There was a moment in life when it just so happened, you could say the planets aligned. It was at a point when I probably got a little clearer about what the job entailed and thought it could be something for me, but fundamentally it's the feeling of helping customers have a safe workplace that drives me.
What qualities do you think are important for the role you have?
– For me, no two days are the same, so I think it's important to have some kind of basic order. Keep track of your equipment, which is everything from personal protective equipment to instruments we use in the job. I think you succeed best if you are reasonably structured and social, as you meet a lot of different customers, as I mentioned before.
How would you describe the TIC industry in your own words?
– Very important! By being out in the field and checking, testing, inspecting and certifying, the level of safety in the workplace is raised. It is a difficult question as it spans a very large area with many different niches.
