Dear hiring team,
I am an energy engineer (MSc Tech.). I chose the field because I wanted to do work that I believe in and that matters, and that still motivates me today. I want to help develop the technology the energy transition needs. I am particularly interested in renewable energy, emissions reduction and energy efficiency, whether in energy production, district heating, industrial processes or new energy technology.
Since 2023, I have worked in gas turbine R&D at Aurelia Turbines, first on my master's thesis and then as a simulation engineer. The work has shown me what I enjoy most: understanding a system all the way from the behaviour of a single component to the performance of the whole, and working with mechanical, electrical and test engineers to get there. When something keeps repeating, I would rather build a tool for it than do it by hand again.
Simulation is one of my strongest tools, but I see myself first and foremost as an energy engineer. I am just as keen to put my understanding of energy systems to use in design, development and analysis as in modelling, and I am also interested in project work. Alongside my studies and work, I also worked for years as a self-employed translator. As the only person in the business, I handled everything myself: finding clients, delivering the work and keeping the books. That is why I know I can manage my work independently and reliably.
In my next role, I am looking for clear focus: the chance to take on demanding technical problems and solve them properly, all the way to the end. I do my best work when I can solve a problem right the first time instead of relying on quick fixes and shortcuts, and I thrive where careful engineering and quality are valued. I am open to relocating within Finland for the right position.
I would be glad to tell you more about my experience and how I could strengthen your team.
Kind regards,
Aleksi Lehtomäki
