罗莎琳·埃尔加（Rosalinn Erga） - 朝着成功的职业发展

When Rosalinn Erga, Machine Control support engineer, decided to enter theBirkebeinerrittet这是世界上最大的山地自行车赛事，在86公里处，从雷纳（Rena）到挪威里尔哈默（Lillehammer）的高度超过1,400米，她在近十年内没有骑自行车。不过，她在挪威销售部门的队友的鼓励下，从她的第一天开始，她很快就跳回了比赛，加入了21名同事参加比赛的Leica Geosystems团队。

“在斯塔万格挪威海岸的偏远办公室里，我们只有三个人；其他所有人都在奥斯陆，特朗德海姆或卑尔根，”埃尔加说。“自行车竞赛提供了一个社交机会，可以与我每天没有看到的其他团队一起做一些有趣的事情。”

为了准备2019年8月的比赛，Erga于2019年1月开始训练。她购买了一辆新自行车，并开始每周三天骑车，逐渐增加了距离，同时减少了时间。她甚至在2019年6月进入较短的旅程，为大型活动做好准备。

Drawing on past experiences
她的培训学科可以归因于土地测量师的七年职业生涯。Erga在世界上最冷的国家之一持续艰难的地形和极端天气状况，在承受挑战方面有经验。

“I really enjoy the outdoors, typically doing climbing and surfing,” said Erga. “I became a surveyor because I wanted to be able to work outside.”

作为自行车赛车队中仅有的两个女性之一，埃尔加（Erga）也对少数族裔并不陌生。在她的调查生涯和现在的建筑工地中，她主要与​​男性合作。

“You really don’t think about being the only woman on the site,” said Erga. “I focus more on the exciting work, and my colleagues have always been great to work with.”

在她的职业生涯中，她使用了Leica Geosystems乐器，因此当职业变更机会越来越靠近她的家时，她知道该公司。她于2018年被招募，以支持地理系统的机器控制部门。尽管在业务的这一部分中有新的东西需要学习，但她解释说理论是相同的。

“The Machine Control systems use the same GPS and workflows I used in surveying,” said Erga. “I find this quite interesting, and even though I mostly do support by phone, I enjoy still being able to go outside and support on construction sites and meet our customers.”

A great place to work and ride
当埃尔加（Erga）了解她的新职位时，她的同事们随时准备伸出援手。

“这里的每个人都很好，”埃尔加说。“每当我有疑问时，我的同事都准备好回答他们，并将我指向正确的方向。”

According to Sales Manager Thomas Kjetland and the team captain, the bike race not only provided employees a means of exercise but also developed strong ties between colleagues across department and region lines.

“Over the past year, I have picked up on so many cycling talks and witnessed colleagues riding together in the evenings and weekends,” said Kjetland. “This has truly affected the work environment in a positive way.”

Erga finished the race in five-and-a-half hours, a great record for her first major bike race. She plans to compete in the race again.
