Production Manager Pieter works in his element...
when leading his team to solutions.
“I’m responsible for the production and logistics department, which means leading a team of 70 people. What I love about my job is seeing people's strengths and helping them to fully develop these strengths. My goal is to work together to solve problems short-term and learn how to do better in the long term. If everyone is happy with the results, then that’s the icing on the cake.”
when mapping out his career path.
"If you work hard and show what you’re capable of, Oleon has a lot to offer. You can start working in one department but easily shift to another one. Along the way, you find out what you like to do and what you’re good at. If you want to take the next step, it’s in your own hands. The yearly Career Development Conversations are a good starting point from where you can further plan your career together with your manager. I’ve been working here for over 13 years and have had several functions.”
when getting the freedom to do his thing.
"Oleon gives you the trust and freedom to do what you think is best. There are always opportunities for improvement, and we can set our own priorities. This entrepreneurial mindset and willingness to change really appeals to me. I feel I can contribute to a better, greener society, which motivates me every day.”
