Close-knit teams and customer contact
What Bertus appreciates most about Moba is the collegiality. "In service, we are still a very close-knit group. That's important, otherwise you can't keep it up for so long." Customer contact also gives him a lot of satisfaction. "There's nothing better than leaving the customer happy."
A memorable moment? "I had to drive to southern Germany at six in the morning to fix a problem. After fifteen minutes, the machine was up and running again. The customer was so happy that he offered me schnapps and a crate of beer."
From service technician to coordinator
After thirty years as a service engineer, Bertus now works as Service Coordinator Planning & Work Preparation. "Many colleagues come to me for information. That's fun to do, and I enjoy sharing things." He is sometimes also involved in the sale of systems. "For example, I recently helped with the preliminary work for a large order to find the right solution, which involved a new building, the entire layout, and interior design."
He is also a regular at trade shows worldwide: from Atlanta, Hanover, and Utrecht to Den Bosch. "I do the setup and help run the trade show. It's very intensive, but a lot of fun."
Life at Moba
After 46 years at Moba, Bertus has never regretted his decision. "If I had to do it again, I would." He is not the only one: "No one here thinks it's strange to have been at Moba for 46 years, because there are many others who have worked here for a long time or have done so in the past. There are still colleagues who started at the same time as me, even on the same day. That proves that Moba is an employer where you feel at home."
