Voice of senior employee

I joined in Astec as an instrument engineer in 2019. I am in charge of construction management and design work in the instrument work section. My current goal is to step up to construction manager someday. It was difficult getting used to living in Japan; however, I enjoy drinking parties after work with my colleagues and sightseeing on my days off. I look forward to working with you in Japan in the near future.
