Qualifications

COMPETENCIES:

Cultural

Fulfillment at work most often occurs when personal values align with those of the organization. Protomet associates it’s collective character with the following traits:

• Second Mile
  The first mile is mandatory. The second mile is voluntary; we do it for our own growth. Outsized benefits are realized in the second mile.
• Don’t Touch the Marshmallow
  The strength to reject short term gratification in favor of a larger reward later. We err towards celebrating later, not sooner.
• Abundance Mindset
  Life is not a zero-sum game. We strive to reject scarcity mindsets and instead “grow the pie”. Example –does a new “A” player on your teampose a threat (scarcity) or an opportunity to grow as a team?
• Skills Beat Credentials
  What you can do is all that matters. Credentials alone won’t get you anywhere at Protomet.
• That’s Hard…Good
  Growth happens the most in the face of challenges. We recognize it is difficult to grin as you are being tested, but it’s possible, and we’re getting better at it.
