Employee Spotlight: Julian Sieverding

At VadoTech, our people drive everything we do. In this first edition of our refreshed employee spotlight series, now known as #InsideVadoTech, we catch up with Julian Sieverding, a Project Manager at VadoTech Group. Julian’s career at VadoTech has taken him from being a hands-on test mechanic role to managing projects across continents. 

How did your journey at VadoTech begin?

I joined at VadoTech in October 2017 as a test mechanic. My job was primarily working on software updates, system checks, conducting test drives and customer reporting. At the time, I didn’t have any long-term plans but I knew I wanted grow and work internationally. 

What drew you to VadoTech?

I’ve always wanted to see more of the world, and VadoTech offered that opportunity. Since joining, I’ve worked in cities such as Beijing and Changchun, with each experience challenging me technically and helping me grow personally. 

What is a typical day like for you at VadoTech?

Mornings start early with a cup of coffee. As a project manager, I spend most of my day planning, problem-solving and staying connected with the team. Even though I’m no longer fully hands-on anymore, I stay close to the technical team and offer guidance whenever I can.

What has been your biggest achievement at VadoTech?

Building a high-performing software and debugging team in China. It was rewarding to lead that effort across language and cultural barriers and the team still thrives today. 

What’s the best part about working at Vadotech?

The job’s dynamic nature and the people I work with, who keep every day interesting. One day you’re in Changchun, the next in Beijing and then Hefei. That variety keeps things exciting.

What advice would you give someone interested in working at VadoTech?

Be open-minded and willing to step out of your comfort zone. You might come for two years and stay for seven, like me. There’s so much to learn and experience and the opportunity to grow is huge.
