Telescope Services

We’re thrilled to spotlight Gürcan Serbay Aslan, a talented HMI engineer engaged in a project at Hitachi Energy, who has recently joined us at Telescope.

Gürcan hails from Turkey, a country renowned for its rich historical heritage and delectable cuisine. He proudly shares that Turkish food is a major attraction for tourists and is also popular among his Swedish friends who often rave about their experiences at Turkish restaurants in Sweden.

The decision to move to Sweden was influenced by the country’s high quality of life and excellent education system, especially important for those with children. He and his family are currently residing in the charming city of Västerås. He appreciates the stress-free environment, the prevalent use of bicycles, and the city’s commitment to environmental sustainability. The lack of traffic issues, a stark contrast to Turkey, and the proximity to Stockholm for weekend activities add to their satisfaction.

Gürcan is thoroughly enjoying the Swedish summer, with its beautiful weather and endless daylight. The abundance of parks allows him to spend quality time with his child, exploring the greenery and soaking in the sun. He remains curious and slightly apprehensive about the upcoming winter as he has heard about the challenges of the Swedish winter and is eager to see how they will adjust.

At Hitachi Energy, Gürcan’s primary responsibility is designing software for the control of energy systems provided to customers. His expertise in HMI engineering is pivotal in ensuring efficient and effective energy solutions. He finds the Swedish work culture to be refreshingly different from that in Turkey. Gürcan appreciates the well-established work-life balance, ample annual leave, and the provision of necessary resources for a conducive work environment. And, of course, he enjoys the Swedish tradition of fika with his colleagues!

Telescope has played a crucial role in Gürcan’s relocation and integration into Sweden. He praises the quick responses to his queries and the extensive organization provided during their adaptation period. He encourages engineers from Turkey to embrace the experience of moving to Sweden, assuring them that they won’t regret it. His key advice is to be bold and open to new opportunities.

In his free time, Gürcan enjoys biking and exploring the green spaces around Västerås. He is excited about his future with Telescope and looks forward to furthering his career while enjoying the balanced lifestyle Sweden offers.

We are thrilled to have Gürcan as part of our team at Telescope. His journey and experiences serve as an inspiration for other engineers considering a move to Sweden!
