<p>With a Master&rsquo;s degree using machine learning to understand lower body movement in Parkinson&rsquo;s disease patients, engineer <strong>Stefano Sibille</strong> might not have seemed an automatic choice for a job in the automotive sector, but his career has flourished in the three-and-a-half years he&rsquo;s been with Akkodis. </p>
<p>&ldquo;Right now, I&rsquo;m working in automotive but in the future that could change,&rdquo; Stefano explains. &ldquo;For me, one of the attractions of Akkodis is that it is an international company covering many industries both here in Italy and around the globe. I wanted to focus at first, but with a company that would also give me the chance to work in different areas and projects.&rdquo; </p>
<h3>Tell us a little more about your role, Stefano. </h3>
<p>I&rsquo;m an electronic systems engineer for a customer based in Turin specializing not in passenger cars but manufacturing medium and heavy-duty vehicles, and military vehicles. In addition to my day-to-day job, I am a systems integration tutor and a technical recruiter. So, I reach out to new candidates all the time. </p>
<p>I am also one of the Akkodis brand ambassadors for Italy, which is a great opportunity and an honor. I try to be an ambassador for the brand every day, no matter where I am! </p>
<h3>What might your day typically involve?  </h3>
<p>I manage our customer&rsquo;s relationship with systems suppliers from across the world, including France, Italy, and Brazil. Although I am an Akkodis employee, I work as a seamless part of the manufacturer&rsquo;s team and as a reference point for suppliers who speaks on behalf of the customer.  </p>
<p>I see the project from a transverse point of view, which means I know what&rsquo;s going on throughout the supply chain. It&rsquo;s important that both the customer and the suppliers trust me. A systems engineer needs to be smart, reliable, and precise.  </p>
<h3>What&rsquo;s one of the biggest challenges of your job?  </h3>
<p>Being a trainer is a big challenge. Knowing how to do something is not the same as being able to teach it, but when new colleagues come onboard, that&rsquo;s what I do. You need to know the job very well and be attuned to the needs of your colleagues, too. </p>
<p>For example, we use English terms a lot, even if we are speaking in Italian, so it helps if I can simplify the language as much as I can. Overcoming these barriers requires dedication, passion and listening skills.  </p>
<h3>What would you say to someone thinking of joining Akkodis right now? What are the benefits?  </h3>
<p>There are always people here you can rely on, and it&rsquo;s a great place to evolve and grow. I joined the company as a junior consultant; now I am a consultant and team leader of five people. Akkodis is a stimulating environment. </p>
<p>The other thing I&rsquo;d say is that if you are chosen to work for a customer, you are ready. You won&rsquo;t have to demonstrate qualities that you haven&rsquo;t already demonstrated at interview.  </p>
<h3>What do you see yourself doing in the future at Akkodis? </h3>
<p>I want to learn formal project management skills and develop my role as team leader. I&rsquo;m keen to remain a technician but develop my managerial abilities too. With Akkodis&rsquo; goal of being the number one company in the sector, I&rsquo;m sure I will get the chance to fulfil my ambitions. </p>
<h3>It&rsquo;s not all work. What do you like to do to relax?  </h3>
<p>I love travelling and discovering new cultures and I&rsquo;ve been to central America, the Middle East and the North Cape. I&rsquo;m also a keen linguist. I use English every day at work, and I enjoy learning new languages with travel in mind.  </p>
<p>In general, I love the outdoors: that includes gardening and being near the sea, although I&rsquo;m not a beach bum, I enjoy sailing instead! And I love hiking in the beautiful mountains to the north of Turin. </p>
