An Inside Look at Smartvatten with Oarda!

Employer branding is about more than just attracting the right talent—it's about creating a workplace where people feel valued, grow in their careers, and connect to something bigger than themselves. For companies like Smartvatten, establishing a brand that reflects their values and culture is key to bringing in professionals who are aligned with their mission. To understand more about how Smartvatten does this, we spoke with Oarda Cherkaoui, who joined the company this spring, to our customer support Nordic team. Oarda’s journey sheds light on what it's like to work at Smartvatten and how the company fosters an environment that truly supports its people.

Flexibility and Work-Life Balance

Oarda’s story isn’t the usual one you hear in corporate recruitment. "I wasn’t actively looking for a new job. I was actually on maternity leave and unsure about returning to full-time work," she explains. When the opportunity at Smartvatten came along, it was a perfect fit. What really impressed Oarda was the company’s deep understanding of her personal situation as a new mom. Smartvatten offered the flexibility she needed to balance her family life with her professional responsibilities—without the stress of adhering to a rigid schedule.

For Oarda, the flexibility at Smartvatten wasn’t just about working from home or adjusting hours. It’s about a culture that trusts employees to manage their time in a way that works best for them. "Work-life balance here is not just a buzzword; it’s part of the company’s core values," Oarda says. It’s this sense of autonomy that makes Smartvatten stand out in a crowded market, providing a workplace where employees can thrive both personally and professionally.

Purpose-Driven Work That Makes a Real Impact

For many, a job is just a paycheck—but for Oarda and her colleagues at Smartvatten, it’s so much more. "Water management might not sound glamorous to some, but when you think about the global water crisis, you realize just how essential the work we do is," Oarda shares. Knowing that her role supports Smartvatten’s commitment to sustainability makes her work feel meaningful.

At Smartvatten, the mission is clear: create solutions that help tackle some of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges. "The fact that the company focuses on sustainability makes my job more rewarding," Oarda adds. "Everyone at Smartvatten feels the same way—we’re all working toward a common goal." It’s this sense of shared purpose that drives employees to work harder, stay engaged, and feel a genuine connection to the company.

Growth and Learning Every Step of the Way

One of the standout features of working at Smartvatten is the opportunity for continuous growth. Oarda has taken on new challenges that have pushed her outside of her comfort zone, and she’s never felt unsupported. "Recently, I took on a project that was outside my usual scope. The company provided me with all the resources and mentorship I needed to succeed," she says. This commitment to supporting employees’ growth is a key part of Smartvatten’s culture.

From the very beginning, Oarda felt that her career at Smartvatten could evolve. "It’s not just about filling a position. It’s about helping you grow within the company," she says. Smartvatten encourages its employees to learn new skills, take on projects that stretch their abilities, and ultimately build a career that’s dynamic and fulfilling. For Oarda, this commitment to personal and professional development has been a game-changer.
