At Atlas Copco Group, we believe that innovation and commitment are powered by people who bring both skill and heart to their work. Across our organization, many women embody resilience and care as they balance professional excellence with family life. Their journeys remind us that success is not only about performance, but also about presence, sincerity, and growth.
One inspiring example is Mia Ulang, Service Sales Engineer, who shows that balancing career and home life is not about perfection—it’s about living each day with heart.
A Day in the Life: Service Sales Engineer
Mia describes her role as a mix of “problem-solver” and “translator,” helping customers feel confident in their equipment and operations. Her days involve client calls, site visits, and coordinating with teams, before shifting into her role as a mother at home. While it can feel like managing two full-time roles, she has learned to embrace the rhythm—with coffee along the way.
Finding Purpose in Service Sales
For Mia, sales is more than just a career — it’s an opportunity to connect and make a difference. She enjoys understanding customer needs and offering solutions that create real impact. Knowing her work helps businesses run better gives her a strong sense of purpose. Sales has also pushed her beyond her comfort zone—something she values both professionally and as a mother.
Balancing Career and Motherhood
Balancing a professional career and motherhood comes with challenges, particularly managing time and the desire to give 100% in both roles. There are times when work stays on her mind at home, and family remains in her thoughts at work. She reminds herself that balance does not mean perfection—some days she succeeds more at work, others at home, and often she is doing her best at both. With patience and support, she continues to navigate both roles with confidence.
Guiding Principle: One Day at a Time, with Heart
Mia lives by the motto, "One day at a time, with heart." This keeps her grounded when juggling responsibilities feels overwhelming. It reminds her to stay present and give her best to whatever is in front of her—whether that’s a meeting or time with her child. For her, it’s not about having everything perfectly planned, but about showing care, sincerity, and truly being present in each moment.
Advice to Fellow Working Mothers
Her message to fellow working mothers is simple yet powerful: be kind to yourself. It’s natural to experience busy days, shifting priorities, and imperfect moments. What matters is showing up with consistency and heart.
Mia’s guiding principle—“One day at a time, with heart”—reflects the strength of women everywhere who thrive in both career and family roles. Her story reminds us that true success lies in showing up with sincerity, whether at work or at home.
At Atlas Copco, we are proud to be a place where women can thrive professionally while being supported in their personal lives. For those seeking a career where purpose meets opportunity, Atlas Copco offers more than a workplace—it’s a community that values your whole self.
