Employee introduction

The door to becoming an auditor opened for me thanks to my strong hope to contribute to society, using my experiences in design an development and gaining broader knowledge and experiences.
Previously, I was in charge of design and development at a manufacturer. About 10 years in, I realized that I want to work with more people and make use of my knowledge and experience for as many people as possible. During that time, at my workplace we had more and more audits, and I felt that this work was suitable as the next stage I was looking for. However, although I had knowledge of products, I did not have much experience in audits and laws and regulations, so I thought it would be impossible. But then someone reached out to me and I decided to join TÜV SÜD. It was also a great opportunity to work in a global environment, making good use of my English skills.

The annual qualification maintenance training is held together with auditors from all of our Asian entities. There, we can interact with auditors from various countries and experience and absorb different cultures and ways of thinking.
Regarding to our work style, the management of projects and clients are assigned to each member. Therefore, every auditor is responsible for his/her assigned project management, and feel rewarding to our missions. This responsibility brush up my professional excellence and make me to become expert.  The standards and law regulations are changing from day to day that urge us to study and catch up.  However, TÜV SÜD provides auditors fulfilling trainings in order to update latest information on time. For example, there are big global training provided regularly. In this training, ASEAN auditors are gathered once a year, and we can exchange and deepen understandings about diversity and different aspects.
