Many of us at Sectra Medical Systems work here because we feel that technology can help other people. Whether it is used for finding breast cancer in women with as low radiation exposure as possible, or for making the world's most productive workflow tools for diagnosis of radiological images, or for making innovative digital imaging processing systems for tomorrow's orthopedic departments, we feel we can make a difference so that things become better. And we think that deep satisfaction can be felt in knowing that some human being, somewhere out there, now has a better life thanks to our products and our work.
We think that you, who are a potential colleague of ours, share this feeling.
Medical Systems has more than 400 employees in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the US, the Netherlands and Australia. We encourage our employees to try a job in a different country for a longer or shorter period. And we think that a multicultural background is good for us all, and thus a merit when you look for a job at Sectra. In our main office in Linköping, for example, you will find employees born in more than ten different countries. This makes for great fun, and is a great asset!
If you want to work in a multicultural environment, or have such a background yourself and speak many languages, we urge you to apply for a job with us.
Sectra's hiring process involves tests and multiple interviews with various people. You will meet your future colleagues, your immediate superior and often the president of the company. And we apply a veto rule; no one can hire a person at Sectra who has not passed all of the interviews and tests. This assures that we get people that we both like and think fit for the job. We like and respect each other at Sectra, and we want to keep it that way. On the other hand, we do not want everyone to be made in the same mold. We want differences! But we want differences that can work with, and like, each other.
If you are hired by Sectra, you will begin a training program involving what you need to know for the job. The training ranges from medicine, finance and economics to computer networking and sales, depending on your function. Note, however, that we do not provide a trainee program - you are still expected to work in your ordinary work while learning new things. Here we think that "who you are" is more important than "what you know just now." If you're a good learner, we will help you to get wherever you need to be, fast.
At Sectra, we Hire for Attitude and Ability, and we Train for Skill.
Our customers, the healthcare professionals of the world, and ultimately their patients, depend on our quality and the function of our systems. If our systems perform well, more needing people can get help and an improved life. If our systems fail or malfunction, we may risk health, perhaps even the life, of people that depend on us. This is serious business!
Accordingly, all Sectra employees are required to visit our customers regularly - whether you are a secretary, developer or manager. We believe that in order to deliver good products and services, every single individual in our company must really know our customers and what their issues are. Besides the quality improvement this brings, it is much more fun and rewarding for our employees to really see and understand our end users.
If you work at Sectra, we want you to feel deeply responsible for our systems performance in their end-user environment. And if, some day, we have a customer in trouble, we expect every employee to do their outmost to help. At Sectra we do not let a customer down, ever!
Potential employees at Sectra are required to embrace this policy and to live and act it.
Sectra is not for everyone. We believe that the people who apply for a job with us have the following characteristics:
If you think you fit the above description and would like work at Sectra, please do not hesitate to apply! You are very welcome to do so.
President, Sectra Imtec AB
