Before we say yes….
About us…
When we ask people “What is the purpose of Systems Automated?” they typically say “To build and wire conveyor”, “To help our customers”, “To engineer, install and service automated material handling equipment”.
While all of these answers are what we do, none answer the question of what is our purpose?
Simply put—The purpose of Systems Automated is to Help People Grow.
Let us explain why:
- We need the best people to be the best at what we do.
- The best people will be attracted to and stay at the company that helps them grow in their career.
- This career growth must be intentional, planned and flexible.
- We define the best as someone who is adaptable, reliable and hardworking.
About you…
Refer back to the last sentence and consider are you truly:
Adaptable: What we do will place unfair demands on you. Although we plan ahead, i n order to meet our customers’ needs we will need you to work off hours, weekends and out of town. Sometimes with little notice. Are you that person?
Reliable: Like any well-disciplined team we operate together with everyone playing a critical role. Our customers depend on us and we depend on everyone on our team. Each and every person is needed and their absence would place a greater load on every other person. We must be able to depend on you. Are you that person?
Hardworking: We will expect and insist that you work hard and smart. While some organizations have two or more people completing a task, we assign work which only requires one person to one task. We will work long hours to meet our commitments. The job is the boss and we get it done. Are you that person?
If in your heart you truly believe you are this person, then we need to know about your career goals.
The next step…
We will set up a meeting to discuss
- How you are adaptable, reliable and hardworking?
- Your career goals —how you plan on reaching them and how we could help?
- If these discussions are positive, then a time table for you joining our team will be set.
