A look behind the scenes
What makes you stand out and what are you particularly good at?
My scope of work makes me a real all-rounder, with different competencies and skills. An important basic requirement is flexibility, because we have to react confidently to new situations at any time in ongoing operations and quickly find the optimal solution to a problem.
The other side of the coin
What is also sometimes annoying?
epsotech has become a second family to me over the years and I feel very comfortable here. As in every good relationship, there are many ups and also one or two downs.
Work is only half of life

What we always wanted to know
What do you do at epsotech and why are you so passionate about your job?
The core objective of Claim Management is to turn a customer who is dissatisfied with a delivered product into a satisfied customer. Our internal goal is, of course, to prevent complaints from arising in the first place. As a Claim Manager, I check and evaluate complaints in all directions, for their justification and their amount.
A look behind the scenes
What makes you stand out and what are you particularly good at?
The criteria by which customers judge quality today have become much more diverse. The requirements vary depending on industry and application. Negotiating skills, service orientation, but also market knowledge are required here, and that's an exciting combination for me.
The other side of the coin
What is also sometimes annoying?
Of course, the customer is king, but sometimes the complaints are not justified. A solution that satisfies both sides is not always easy to achieve.
Work is only half of life
Where can we find you when you're not working?

As Head of Dispatch I make sure that our goods reach our customers on time and in full. Together with my team, I plan transports and pick-ups and we try every day to make even the impossible possible.
A look behind the scenes
What makes you stand out and what are you particularly good at?
Anyone who works in logistics often needs strong nerves. I always try to keep a cool head and compensate for the deadline pressure with good planning.
The other side of the coin
What is also sometimes annoying?
Despite good preparation, sometimes a plan doesn’t work out in terms of time; unfortunately we cannot yet beam the goods to the customer.
Work is only half of life
Where can we find you when you're not working?

A look behind the scenes
What makes you stand out and what are you particularly good at?
My job requires me to quickly learn new processes, analyze and apply them. With my positive nature, I infect other colleagues and can distract them from the one or other annoying update.
The other side of the coin
What is also sometimes annoying?
"I didn't press any button, all of a sudden it was like this".
Work is only half of life
Where can we find you when you're not working?
I need a sporty balance to the daily work routine; I spend a lot of time on the sports field, bicycle or in the gym.

I am an open-minded and curious person. I always want to expand my horizons. I'm also very on time and helpful. Of course, my colleagues appreciate that very much.
The other side of the coin
What is also sometimes annoying?
Unfortunately, work processes and schedules don't always match up in theory and practice. Especially in a shift operation, you have to be quite flexible and sometimes need to throw lesson plans overboard.
Work is only half of life
Where can we find you when you're not working?
In my free time I am sporty and like to ride my bike, go dancing and play tennis. Of course, preferably in nice company.
