A consulting role that offers variety and challenges
Taking the leap into a new industry requires the right timing, the right role, and the right support. For Christoffer Marckmann, all three fell into place when he started as a consultant with us at Unik Resurs in the fall of 2024.
He currently works as a Project Manager for Technical Information at Siemens Energy in Finspång, where he leads technical documentation efforts in complex energy infrastructure projects. He coordinates documentation workflows, ensures quality standards are met, and serves as the liaison between engineering teams, subcontractors, and documentation specialists.
Since the assignment began in October 2024, Christoffer has not only performed well in the role, but he has also grown in it.
Why the assignment caught Christoffer’s interest
Christoffer already had experience in the industry. He was looking for a role where he could apply what he already knew, but also find new challenges and continue to grow.
“It looked like an interesting position in a new industry. I felt that I would be able to draw on my previous experience while also growing professionally.”
It wasn’t just the role itself that appealed to her. Siemens Energy’s strong brand and the technical complexity of the organization also played a role. Jessica Ferm, consulting manager at Unik Resurs, confirms this:
“I think it was the client’s brand and the technical complexity of the organization that drew me in.”
This is a good example of how the right job opportunity needs to appeal to the candidate on multiple levels—not just the content of the role, but also the context in which it exists.
The selection process was based on more than just a resume
At Unik Resurs, we place great emphasis on understanding what the client actually needs, not just what’s in the job description. In Christoffer’s case, it was a combination of experience, personality, and mindset that made the match a perfect fit.
Jessica describes the process:
“Personality tests were administered, and an interview and reference checks were conducted to ensure that his qualifications and personality were a good fit for the assignment.”
The result was exactly what we always strive for: a consultant who not only can deliver from day one, but who also fits in with the client’s culture and way of working.
“I’d say it’s a combination of Christoffer’s personality and mindset, as well as his previous experience. Christoffer is a highly valued colleague and a sharp guy.”
That is exactly the kind of comprehensive picture we want to have of every candidate we present. The skills must be there, but it is the combination of experience and personal qualities that determines whether a match will be sustainable.
Leadership, Diversity, and Professional Development
Since Christoffer took on the role, he has had the opportunity to grow in many ways. The position places high demands on his ability to manage multiple delivery projects simultaneously, communicate clearly, and navigate an international organization.
“Leading parallel delivery projects for international clients helps develop both collaboration skills and leadership.”
He also highlights something that has pleasantly surprised him during the assignment—the diversity at Siemens Energy.
“The incredible diversity at Siemens Energy—I get to work every day with truly amazing people from all corners of the world.”
It’s the kind of experience an assignment can provide that goes beyond the professional realm. Christoffer also describes the direct impact on his professional role:
“The role of subproject manager has helped me develop both my ability to collaborate and my leadership skills. Navigating complex contracts and building networks with international clients has also sharpened my communication skills and helped me express myself more clearly.”
Support from Unik Resurs in Everyday Life
As a consultant with us, Christoffer works in the day-to-day operations of Siemens Energy, but his employer and support comes from Unik Resurs. That relationship requires clear communication and responsiveness on our part, and that’s something we take seriously.
Christoffer describes the process from initial contact to the start of the assignment:
“The process was smooth and transparent; from our first contact to my first day on the assignment, everything went smoothly and felt reassuring. I also feel that Unik Resurs understood and took my needs into account during the recruitment process.”
What he appreciates most is the quick and clear dialogue:
“The quick and clear communication, no matter what the issue is. It creates a sense of security that allows me to focus entirely on my assignment.”
And he sums up the collaboration in a way that says a lot about what we strive to create for every consultant:
“I feel that I can be completely transparent and have an open dialogue with both the client and Unik Resurs. Plus, the assignment was a perfect fit for me—I really enjoy it and feel that I’m adding value.”
Three parties, one successful mission
What makes a consulting assignment truly successful is when the client, the consultant, and the consulting manager share a common understanding and have an open channel for dialogue. Christoffer’s assignment at Siemens Energy is a clear example of just that.
Siemens Energy found a consultant with the right technical background, the right personality, and the ability to work in a complex, international environment. Christoffer was given an assignment where his experience is put to good use and where he can continue to grow. We at Unik Resurs had the opportunity to do what we do best: match the right person with the right assignment.
Consulting Manager Jessica Ferm sums it up:
“Understanding what the customer is looking for. Christoffer had previous experience in the industry and was the perfect fit for the role.”
To thrive and create value. That is the goal.
Christoffer’s journey shows what happens when a well-thought-out match is combined with a well-structured consulting assignment and close collaboration. He’s happy, making a contribution, and growing—and that’s exactly what a consulting assignment is meant to provide.
