"Don't be afraid of failure, constantly challenge and experience"

Domestic Site Safety Management, Lee Dong-hyeon

Q1. Please tell us about your job.
As a safety manager at domestic sites, I am responsible for reviewing technical aspects of safety management, assisting the head of safety and health management, and providing guidance and advice to supervisors. I operate a safety and health management system aimed at identifying risks, establishing preventive measures, and providing a comfortable working environment, and continuously improve problems through the PDCA cycle. In addition, I check the status of safety management on site to eliminate potential accident factors that may arise from the condition of the work environment and the behavior of workers in advance. 

Q2. What competencies do you need most in your job? 
The first is "responsibility". We need to put safety first and adhere to principles and standards. Even though it might be a little inconvenient to keep safety rules, they must be adhered. There are no exception and no compromise when it comes to safety. Thinking “just this once” can lead to accidents. Second is the spirit of challenge. There are many different ways to manage safety, and there are often no set answers. Therefore, we cannot conclude that one approach is better than another, but we should constantly explore new initiatives, plans, and improvements by looking for and discussing examples from other sites. If you have the potential to become better, you should constantly challenge yourself.

Q3. How did you prepare for joining the company? 
My experience interning at a construction site helped me join the company. It is very helpful to incorporate what you learned during your internship, the flow of work, and your understanding of the job in the field into your cover letter and interview. During my internship, I kept a daily journal of what I learned, what I realized, and what I thought about the site and my work. This journal was very helpful in my later job search. There are more opportunities for internships than you think, so I recommend that job seekers look for them through job postings, professor referrals, and job placement programs.

Q4. Is there a corporate culture or system at HDEC that you would like to share? 
I want to compliment the “Vehicle Purchase Subsidy” system. Hyundai E&C is a member of the Hyundai Motor Group, and you can receive a vehicle purchase subsidy based on your rank, position, and years of service when purchasing a Hyundai or Kia car. Since cars are expensive purchases, the subsidy is a bigger benefit than other welfare programs combined.

Q5. Do you have any advice for juniors who want to work at HDEC?
I would say, "Don't be afraid to fail, constantly challenge and experience." If you fail, you can try again. In particular, I would recommend trying everything you can while in college. For example, internships, clubs, competitions, outreach, volunteering, student council, part-time jobs, traveling, dating, etc. As you gain experience, you will see things that you haven't seen before, and you will grow even more.
