At the end of November, the Elsteel Family reached an incredible milestone: 998 team members. With upcoming interviews and recruitment in full swing, excitement was in the air. A major achievement for the company was within reach, and we couldn't wait to see who would become our 1,000th team member!
After a thorough review by our HR team, we're thrilled to introduce Mytsko Pavlo as the 1,000th member of the Elsteel Family. Joining us at our Polish production facility, Mytsko takes on the role of Machine Operator in the Special Enclosures department.
To celebrate this milestone, we sat down with Mytsko to learn more about his journey and what it means to help make Elsteel 1,000 people strong.
Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your background? I come from a small village called Lityatyn in the Berezhany district of the Ternopil region in Ukraine. Growing up in a close-knit community, I developed a strong work ethic and a love for nature. I lead an active lifestyle, and my hobbies include fishing, which allows me to relax and enjoy the outdoors, and dancing, which I find to be a great way to express myself and stay fit. These activities have taught me patience, precision, and the importance of practice, all of which I bring to my professional life.
Have you worked in a similar role previously? Yes, I have experience working in a similar role. I previously worked in Gorzów Wielkopolski for a company that specializes in the production of solar modules. There, I was involved in the assembly process and became familiar with the various challenges and responsibilities that come with this type of work. My experience in Gorzów Wielkopolski has provided me with a solid foundation in handling specialized equipment and adhering to safety protocols, which I believe will be beneficial in my current role at Elsteel.
