Portrait of the Month : Martin – Assembly Department Supervisor

Hi I’m Martin Haban, I work as the Assembly Department Supervisor in the Industrial Automation Division at NUVIA CZ. Our division specializes in the development, production, and integration of automated assembly stations and lines.

I lead a team in charge of mechanical and electrical installation, setup, and adjustment of automated machines and assembly lines. My role is to coordinate our activities, ensure that health and safety standards are fully respected, and provide technical guidance whenever needed. I joined NUVIA in 2019 and have been supporting our clients’ projects with my team ever since.

I graduated from a secondary school specializing in electrical engineering and joined the Industrial Automation Division immediately after completing my studies. I chose this career path because it combined everything I was passionate about at the time — electrical engineering and mechanics.

For the first five years, I worked as an industrial automation technician, gaining hands‑on experience in assembling and commissioning automated equipment. I later progressed to the role of Head of the Assembly Department — the same department where I had previously worked as a technician.

My main responsibility is to coordinate the team of technicians, assign tasks for each project, and make sure we meet our deadlines. I also oversee health and safety compliance and provide technical support whenever issues arise or challenges need to be resolved.

What I enjoy most is being involved in every stage of a project — from design to final delivery. It’s fascinating to see an automated machine come to life and that’s what keeps me passionate about this job.

I also really appreciate the daily contact with my team, discussing workflows together and tackling technical challenges as they come.

Each of our machines is technologically unique, which means we face specific technical challenges that often require collaboration across the division. Working with people can also be a challenge. Every team member has their own working style, pace, and level of experience, and it’s important to adapt to each of them to ensure the team functions smoothly as a whole.

I didn’t set out to work in the nuclear industry from the start. My path into this field developed gradually as our portfolio of machines and technologies expanded over the years and eventually began to find applications in the nuclear sector.

Looking back, one of the moments that stands out most for me is our move into the new production facilities. We had to relocate a significant amount of equipment, materials, and machinery — a task that seemed overwhelming at first. Due to circumstances linked to the completion of the building, the timeline became very tight, and we had to carry out the entire move in a very short period. But everyone stepped in. No one complained about the workload, and thanks to the team’s commitment, willingness to help, and strong cooperation, everything went smoothly in the end.
What makes the difference at NUVIA? The willingness of everyone to help each other — especially when challenges arise.

Friendly, reliable, interesting

Join us and work on exciting projects with a great team.

The responsibility of the work depends on how responsibly a person approaches it.
