Dennis Ankersmit

As a service technician at Rixona in Oostrum, Dennis is responsible for ensuring that everything is working as it should in the production site. From minor malfunctions to major malfunctions that shut down the entire production site. Dennis and his colleagues are responsible for correcting these malfunctions ensuring that our production sites always operate at full capacity.

"The diversity involved in my job is what makes me enjoy coming to work every day. My work always entails a lot of different technology. Which not only makes the job varied but also challenging. At the start of a working day, I never know what to expect because a malfunction can occur anywhere. It might be an entire machine that isn't working properly or a small part causing disruption on the line."

"I get most satisfaction once all the malfunctions have been corrected and the entire production site is operating as it should again. As soon as there's a malfunction in the production site, my colleagues and I are called. It's then up to us to find the cause of the malfunction as soon as possible and to ensure that the malfunction is eliminated. Our job is also to prevent a recurrence of the malfunction, so that the production site can operate even more smoothly. A challenging job, but one I really enjoy."
