INTERVIEW WITH TEUS VAN ROOTSELAAR
As an equipment manager, you’re on the phone all day. It can be about anything, from a faulty shear to a crane with a broken windshield. And it can be anywhere, because I support all DDM projects worldwide. I don’t personally go everywhere to fix things, but I do personally make sure they get resolved.
I first assess whether an issue is urgent or whether the solution can be combined with other work or handled with the help of a local dealer. Once everything is clear, I take care of it, whether it involves procurement, damage, leaks, modifications, or anything else.
I’ve been working at DDM since the early 1990s. First as an operator, then in execution roles. That meant being away from home all over the world. I’ve now been enjoying my role as equipment manager for twelve years. My work is incredibly diverse. At the moment, I’m busy with various audits, including VCA and ISO. That’s also part of my job: administrative accuracy.
What I enjoy most is the freedom I have, combined with the responsibility that comes with it. You can achieve a lot here. You’re given every opportunity to gain knowledge and grow, but you have to take initiative yourself. If you have that mindset, DDM is the right place for you.
“The project that has stayed with me the most was in 2007, in Gelsenkirchen. We had to move about ten decommissioned naphtha crackers one hundred meters to make way for rapid new construction. Each of those units weighed around 450 tons. We completed the job in less than two weeks, working in two continuous shifts. Just try organizing that. It was fantastic to be part of.”
