00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:03.440
Green Jobs:
the great thing about working at 3SUN

2
00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:04.280
Hi.

3
00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:06.040
So let’s get started.

4
00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:08.600
What’s your name and what do you do?

5
00:00:08.600 --> 00:00:10.280
Ah, you’re already recording…

6
00:00:10.280 --> 00:00:12.560
Pierangelo Fisicaro, 39 years old.

7
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:14.560
I’ve been working here for two and a half years.

8
00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:17.280
I’m in charge of production and logistics.

9
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:19.680
I coordinate all the production teams,

10
00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:21.600
plus all the warehouses

11
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:25.560
for both the finished product and the arrival of raw materials.

12
00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:27.400
What did you study at university?

13
00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:30.040
I studied engineering, in Catania,

14
00:00:30.040 --> 00:00:32.160
then I decided to do my specialization in Pisa.

15
00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:35.760
So, if you had to describe your work

16
00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:38.040
to a five-year-old, what would you say to them?

17
00:00:38.040 --> 00:00:40.200
Here at 3Sun we create,

18
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:43.240
we produce devices

19
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:45.160
that capture sunlight

20
00:00:45.160 --> 00:00:47.520
and turn it into clean energy.

21
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:49.560
Basically, we’re able to create energy

22
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:51.400
without polluting the planet.

23
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.040
So, what’s it like to work for a company

24
00:00:54.040 --> 00:00:56.680
that places so much emphasis on innovation?

25
00:00:56.680 --> 00:00:57.800
Very exciting.

26
00:00:57.800 --> 00:00:59.760
We’re always looking for

27
00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:01.200
that little something extra

28
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.480
that will enable us to increase

29
00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:06.360
the efficiency of our product.

30
00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:08.320
That means doing research

31
00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:09.920
every day, in the field,

32
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:11.680
so we’re constantly evolving.

33
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.720
I try to transform the research,

34
00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:17.040
the ideas that our colleagues come up with,

35
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:18.680
into something real, into the product.

36
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:21.360
Let’s talk about creativity:

37
00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:23.400
how much of a role does that play in your work?

38
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:24.520
There’s creativity

39
00:01:24.520 --> 00:01:25.920
in solving the problems

40
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.400
that the world of production throws at you every day.

41
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:30.120
Unexpected snags are always just around the corner.

42
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:31.560
It’s our bread and butter.

43
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:32.600
Of course!

44
00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:34.880
So tell me, what’s the beauty of working at 3Sun?

45
00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:37.280
The beauty of working at 3Sun

46
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:39.800
is waking up in the morning with an idea,

47
00:01:39.800 --> 00:01:42.000
then coming into work and implementing that idea.

48
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:47.040
If I were to ask you what you like most about your job,

49
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:48.120
what would you say?

50
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.320
What are you proudest of?

51
00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:52.320
I really enjoy working in production

52
00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:53.280
it’s exciting.

53
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.560
You have to be very dynamic,

54
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:56.640
able to multi-task,

55
00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.320
and you need a high degree of empathy,

56
00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:01.400
because you’re constantly working

57
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:03.000
with lots of people,

58
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:04.360
including people who are very different from you,

59
00:02:04.360 --> 00:02:05.640
and from different departments.

60
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:06.880
The thing that excites me most

61
00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:08.640
is the daily challenge,

62
00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:10.800
constantly having to solve problems

63
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:13.200
and to make sure that not only

64
00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:15.240
am I meeting the company’s objectives,

65
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:16.600
I’m also managing people,

66
00:02:16.600 --> 00:02:18.200
because my team’s made up

67
00:02:18.200 --> 00:02:19.920
of more than 100 people.

68
00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:20.800
What I really like is

69
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:22.320
helping my staff develop,

70
00:02:22.320 --> 00:02:24.600
putting people in the right role

71
00:02:24.600 --> 00:02:25.720
and giving them the tools

72
00:02:25.720 --> 00:02:26.840
to make sure they’re able

73
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:30.040
to grow within my group.

74
00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:34.720
Okay, but now I’m going to move on to a slightly more awkward question:

75
00:02:34.720 --> 00:02:37.120
what’s the biggest mistake you've ever made at work?

76
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:39.360
Everybody makes mistakes at work, a lot of them.

77
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.440
But I think that those who make mistakes

78
00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:44.520
are the ones who are doing something

79
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.640
those who don’t try, who don't have a go, who don't have ideas,

80
00:02:47.640 --> 00:02:48.760
hey never make mistakes.

81
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:50.280
You’re right.

82
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.760
Come on then, convince me to come and work at 3Sun.

83
00:02:53.760 --> 00:02:55.320
In my opinion, this company’s the

84
00:02:55.320 --> 00:02:56.680
perfect place for you,

85
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:58.640
or it could be the perfect place for you,

86
00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:00.720
if you’re a person

87
00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:02.240
who’s willing to put yourself out there,

88
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:03.800
who’s eager for new challenges

89
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.200
and ready for a radical change.

90
00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:08.960
We’ve recently set out on a new path:

91
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:10.840
to create a new plant

92
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:12.720
to produce photovoltaic panels

93
00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:14.520
it will be the largest GigaFactory in Europe.

94
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.040
So, we’ve got a thousand ideas to implement.

95
00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:20.360
We’ve got a thousand positions to fill

96
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:22.120
for this new project.

97
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.560
If you’re someone who’s up for a challenge,

98
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:25.560
who’s willing to learn,

99
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.200
and most importantly, who wants to be part of an innovative project,

100
00:03:28.200 --> 00:03:29.400
this is the place to be.
