Educated as a carpenter, working as a Process Operator? Yes, he can. Over the years, Jonas has learned how to operate machines and entered the chemical sector, ultimately joining Oleon.
Process Operator Jonas works in his element...
when handing over a stable installation.
“Every shift starts and ends with a hand-over between colleagues. My goal is always to hand over an installation that runs smoothly at the end of my shift. We work in pairs: the panelman supervises the control room, while the fieldman carries out practical tasks. When I need to do reparations or solve technical problems during the day, I strive to complete them before the next shift starts. If that works out, I go home happy.”
when learning new skills.
“Actually, I trained to be a carpenter. Step by step, I learned how to operate machines. The interesting thing is that there’s always something more to discover. In my current position, I can still learn a lot about new installations. Another possible growth path is to move to another function. It’s good to know that Oleon offers more than enough possibilities for my future career.”
when having time left to train for his 160 km trail.
"My schedule is different every week. The first week, I do the early shift 5 days in a row, then the late shift for 5 days and in the third week, I work nights. This is quite challenging, but I get rewarded with a good salary. Another advantage of working in shifts is that we get time off when others are working. I’m often free from Monday to Friday, for example. Next to my job, I like doing sports and extreme challenges from time to time. I’m training for a 160 km trail as we speak, so I can use my extra free time to train.”
