Health, safety and the environment continue to be at the centre of Atlas Copco’s service operations and, as well as ensuring that our own organisation adheres to all measures, we provide guidance to our customers on the latest health, safety and environmental matters when it comes to compressed air
One of my first priorities in the new role is to ensure that our team is there to support customers with their equipment uptime as the manufacturing industry returns to growth in the post-pandemic environment and invests more in capital equipment. A second, and more personal, priority is to help increase diversity in the field of compressor operations. I am a Diversity & Inclusion ambassador and promote our mission to attract the best talent and to have a good balance of role models in our organisation . I would like the industry to know that Atlas Copco believes in the power and potential of diverse teams, that we offer equal opportunities, that we invest in apprenticeship programmes and offer a strong framework for training and competence development of all of our employees.
With a BA Management degree from Glasgow Caledonian University, accomplished whilst working and raising a young family simultaneously, Quinn has been a role model to many colleagues within Atlas Copco, progressing through several jobs in the Compressor Technique Service division for the past 18 years, from service administrator, planning team leader, national team leader and process manager. During her career, she has been a key contributor to the design and content of a global operations dashboard, which is now the company’s standard tool for monitoring and reporting service operational performance. In 2018 Quinn relocated to the USA on a global assignment to deliver training to end users in accordance with a defined training plan for the CTS business stream. This assignment involved engagement and interaction with all Atlas Copco Compressor Technique customer centres within the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
