Summary

Over nearly 30 years, I have built up extensive knowledge, skills, and abilities in the field of equipment and plant engineering and have great confidence in them. That's why I am a calculation engineer, even though this work is not always easy. Often I'm only called in once the plant or pipeline has already been built but it's clear that it will need to be modified. Then you quickly learn about the ugly sides of the people involved (including their human flaws) and of the business. Eight years ago, I became fully self-employed with my own Rohr2 license, although under certain conditions I could consider returning to a permanent position. I am interested not only in long-term, ongoing collaboration in projects, but also in handling individual, closed work packages and small orders. I don't just assess the task from the documents; I make a point of seeing the situation on site, capturing it, evaluating it, and solving the problem. I place great value on open, interdisciplinary, constructive cooperation. I can imagine assignments throughout Europe, as well as in the USA and Canada.
