Erlend Olsvik: Fra kode til ledelse – en karriere med muligheter
Erlend Olsvik har utviklet seg gjennom flere roller i Tieto Tech Consulting.
Erlend startet som Java-utvikler, beveget seg videre inn i arkitektur og prosjektledelse, og er i dag leder for et stort team av utviklere. I rollen har han også fått et bredere strategisk blikk på fag, mennesker og leveranser.
For Erlend har kombinasjonen av ansvar, frihet og støtte vært avgjørende.
– Jeg har fått muligheten til å vokse i takt med ambisjonene mine. Jeg har utviklet meg fra å jobbe med teknisk leveranse og kode, til å forme løsninger, lede prosjekter og nå også være leder for et større team.
Erlend har blant annet hatt ansvar for å drive fagutvikling på tvers av kontorer, samtidig som han har bygget erfaring innen blant annet arkitektur, kundedialog og teamledelse.
– Det er rom for å prøve nye roller og bygge kompetanse kontinuerlig. Jeg opplever at ledere aktivt heier på at vi utvikler oss, og det gir en ekstra trygghet til å ta neste steg.
Som leder jobber Erlend i dag med å utvikle konsulentene i teamet, samtidig som han fortsatt holder seg tett på teknologien.
– Det gir energi å bidra til andres utvikling, samtidig som jeg får jobbe med komplekse problemstillinger hos kundene. Den variasjonen gjør hverdagen spennende.
Ved siden av jobben er Erlend også tillitsvalgt i Tekna.
– Det gir meg en annen måte å bidra på, der jeg kan representere kollegaene mine og samtidig synliggjøre hvilke muligheter som finnes i selskapet.
Når han skal oppsummere hva som gjør Tieto Tech Consulting til et godt sted å jobbe, trekker han frem én ting:
– Mulighetene. Du kan utvikle deg faglig, prøve ulike roller og jobbe med spennende prosjekter. Samtidig har vi ledere som faktisk ønsker at du skal vokse. Det betyr mye.
