As an engineer at a semiconductor component manufacturer 17 years ago, our products were a small part of a larger solution. At AREPA, our comprehensive recovery is the solution. I wake up daily excited to collaborate with far smarter team members, who allow me to learn, grow and contribute in meaningful ways. Following a loss, AREPA helps business owners and their employees regain a sense of confidence and pride. We do so by restoring equipment utilized to fabricate products or provide services. Those impacted are the true heroes. I find it incredibly rewarding to support the recovery efforts and restore normality.

I enjoy spending time with family and friends, performing arts, weekend excursions, and I seek out new ethnic dining experiences everywhere I go.

The most rewarding part of my job is giving the best possible support to my colleagues, so they can also perform in the best possible way.

Collaboration, trust and doing a good job.

Collaboration, result orientation, customer satisfaction, and having fun.

I value the importance of my family (my wife and two boys) as well as my close friends so I enjoy spending time with them as much as I can. We live on the beach and love to walk along the coast while smelling the fresh sea air while the wind blows in our hair. It’s also a wonderful way to clear your head! My other hobbies include playing golf and touring around on my Harley Davidson. Because both of my sons play football, I also act as a referee every Saturday to steer their games in the right direction. I enjoy scuba diving and my wife and I are both PADI Instructors.

The entire job as a whole is rewarding, from the privilege of being able to travel from place to place, to working with such a highly qualified team of professionals, to being able to bring value to clients and helping businesses get back on their feet after experiencing an unfortunate circumstance. I get so much exposure to various industries and there is never a dull time. It also helps that I work hand-in-hand with a team that I genuinely enjoy working with.

I enjoy singing and making music with my friends, weight-training, reading, and eating inhuman amounts of sushi.

These values are important for me to live by, work by and pass along to my children: treating others with respect, appreciation of those around me and the life I live, standing behind commitments and promises I made, having compassion for others, lending a helping hand, hug, and/or smile, and doing all things with integrity and honesty.

I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. Going boating in the summers, listening to music, standing on the field at Wrigley or Soldier field seeing my favorite bands up close and personal at concerts, and cheering on the Chicago Blackhawks and Chicago Bears.

After a client has faced a loss and we’ve done our parts to restore their equipment, pressing the power button and seeing everything start back up to normal is a very rewarding feeling.

I have a great interest in technology and appreciate the opportunity to be able to collaborate with colleagues.

The most rewarding part of my job is helping companies get back on their feet. For instance, I worked on a project where a company suffered a major fire. They had no business interruption insurance and their custom equipment would take months to receive if they were to order new equipment. We successfully decontaminated the equipment back to pre-loss condition and the owners personally thanked me for preventing certain bankruptcy.

Solutions.

I get a true satisfaction out of being able to help companies get back to what they do best – treating patients, making products, making money and keeping hard working people employed. It’s rewarding to be able to help those who have suffered damages to navigate a situation they have no experience in.

Essential.

Making our clients happy by building up their company after a disaster is a true driver to continue doing this work.

Quality!

I like my job very much, especially the ability to meet many different people across many different professions. There is a lot of variety in our work so the job never gets boring.

In my spare time I like driving my motorbike, taking city trips in Europe and having a BBQ when we are on holiday.

When I’m not working, I enjoy reading books, watching sports and running. I have run several half marathons and a few marathons so far. Unfortunately, I currently have a knee injury that keeps me out of running but I plan to start up again as soon as I can.

Trust.

The most rewarding part of my job is solving problems. When we go on site and meet with our clients, we can see their confusion and concern. They see the visible contamination, but they don’t necessarily know the extent of damage to their equipment – which can impact their livelihood as well as the livelihood of others. Our work is a great team effort and being able to put a client back in business and create a positive result from a negative situation is incredibly rewarding.

Obviously, I most enjoy spending time with my family. We live close to Amsterdam and my back yard is connected to the water. I love to take out my boat and go to the water canals.

Prior to joining AREPA, I worked at a printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing plant. I ran the entire conformal coating department. This included writing programs for all of the new product coming through the department, performing maintenance on the machines, ensuring products made weekly shipments, etc.

I would say the values that drive me are: integrity, team-work, respect, making a difference, continuous improvement, recognition, innovation, positivity, efficiency, and selflessness.

There are several rewarding parts of my job. One of the most rewarding parts are my coworkers and the spirit of AREPA. It is such a thrill when the phone rings and you never know where you will end up. It’s wonderful to be able to see all of the industries from the inside, to be able to work with my hands and make something shiny again.

Sustainability – economically, ecologically and humanely.

Prior to joining AREPA, I worked in various roles within the biological analysis software industry. As my educational background is within Chemistry and Biotechnology (MSc, Medical Biochemistry), I initially educated and supported scientists within research or development, when completing various types of studies of, for instance, DNA and protein sequencing data. I have since these early years had the pleasure of working in Sales Operations and Technical Support, with team members throughout North America, Europe, and India.

I enjoy spending time with family and friends, especially when traveling together, visiting great restaurants, or going to a lovely concert or some of the great festivals we have here in Denmark. My kids are rather young, so we do spend quite a bit of time for instance at the movies and theatres, or rollerblading and biking in our neighborhood.

A new job can change someone’s life completely. I help people with this journey and it feels great when I am able to take someone through the whole recruitment process and help them secure their dream job.

I enjoy spending time with family and friends. My other hobbies are playing field hockey and golf, alpine skiing in the winter and sailing in summertime.

Professionalism, high quality work, and technical accuracy.

I am a committed DIY’er on electronics and construction work. I have an interest in Danish prehistory, architecture as well as city development. But mainly, I’m passionate about cooking good food and listening to Alternative music (I go to a couple of concerts every month).

Feeling like we are meaningfully making a difference in the world by assisting our clients recover from various types of disasters with compassion and technical expertise. This business hardens your perspective on catastrophic events and gives us the opportunity to provide strength, experience and confidence to help our customers recover to a pre-loss condition.

I enjoy being outside in nature. Florida offers all types of hiking, fishing and beautiful beaches throughout the state, all within driving distance.

The most rewarding part of my job is earning the trust of an at first skeptical client after a disaster. You know you’ve done a great job when you see this confidence build back up in clients – this is an incredible feeling and accomplishment and is wonderful to share with the team.

I like to go mountain biking, hiking and skiing. I love to be outdoors so as long as we can be in the mountains, preferably the Alps in Austria, it’s a great time.

Being part of a group whose values align with mine is important to me. While there are cultural differences in our global company, there are also very clear-shared objectives every single AREPA colleague I have met shares. The key is that we always work as a team where every member has their own expertise to bring to the table, and is respected for that. Equally important is that we all agree our main goal is to bring clients positive value with our solutions. While my current role is not directly customer facing, I find it most rewarding to see our achievements; whether these are the successful reconditioning of irreplaceable equipment, the identification of a major hazard during an electrical safety inspection, or hearing how a distressed client was set at rest when our technicians reassured them their livelihood would be saved! Knowing in my role that I contribute in making sure we do all that in a safe, consistent and still human-centered manner is also rewarding in itself.

Solutions.

The challenges of this job are rewarding with the ability to work around the globe with all kinds of technical equipment. It’s a pleasure being able to visit and people new people from all parts of the world.

I enjoy traveling with my family, having barbeques with friends, and watching my kids playing their sports. I live in France so it goes without saying that I enjoy the ability to just relax with French red wine and cheese.

Prior to joining AREPA, I spent 19 years in the facilities restoration industry responsible for business development and operations within one of the largest ServiceMaster organizations within the large loss group, SRM (ServiceMaster Recovery Management). I was responsible for marketing services, selling projects and performing restoration operations within the US, and internationally as required.

Respected.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is the close bonds you develop with your coworkers. Being away from your family on job sites for so much of your time makes it important to establish and maintain relationships with coworkers. Over time, you develop such strong bonds and turn to each other for support. I also appreciate the opportunity to work on a wide range of equipment that has been involved in a variety of incidents.

To build a better future for my children.

The most rewarding part of my work is when I can provide strategic advice based on financial analysis and help create better results. I also love creating smart routines that facilitate workflows and processes.

I enjoy spending time with my family in our house in the archipelago. I like good food, good wines and blues music – especially in combination. On the weekends, I enjoy being in the horse-stable together with my daughter and going for long walks in the woods.

I spent 18 years in facility restoration while performing various roles at ServiceMaster. These duties included sales management, CRM development and database management, and creation of a specialized account management call center. My focus was on was on selling pre-loss contingency plans to our commercial clients, with a special interest in the healthcare property segment.

It’s been truly exciting to work with the AREPA sales and operations teams. I have learned so much during my time here, and at the same time, I believe I still have much to offer from my previous experience. Being in an emergency services industry, we get to know people in what are often the worst of times. At AREPA, we help our clients navigate the many choices in front of them to find the most economical path to recovery. Our technical service gets businesses get back up and running, so they can bring people back to work and communities back in order.

Everyone comes to work with the expectation that their contribution to the mission of the company will be appreciated, but also that what they do makes a difference and that their ideas for improvement will lead to better results and a better work environment. My job is especially rewarding when I can see people get that out of their jobs. When I clear away problems, or even better, help people find ways to clear away their own problems and achieve goals, I feel like we are building a stronger team, a clearer mission, and a more successful organization. I also find it rewarding to help people define and meet their own career goals, adding skills, getting opportunities to try things, find resources for learning, and test their intuition.

I value what groups of people can accomplish working together. Individuals who are all out for themselves tend to self-create systems of chaos and gradual decline of value. Groups who implement a shared vision, or even come together to compete under a common set of rules, drive a sense of purpose and build things that are much, much more sophisticated and impressive than single efforts. One look at the Panama Canal or the iPhone design shows how amazing team output is.

Fortunately, there are many rewarding aspects of my job. Seeing and participating in bringing companies, enterprises and people back to pre-loss condition after a loss has impacted them – that is incredibly rewarding. Even to this very day after having worked on so many projects over the years, I love the challenge that is unique to every new case I see and the feeling of helping to solve our clients’ problems. I enjoy searching for and finding people to bring in and join the AREPA family. I am fortunate to work with a great and skillful global team. Seeing our employees grow their talents and take on additional responsibility in our organization is a rewarding feeling. When a client requests an employee by name – that is a proud moment for me – that is how I know that not only has our employee succeeded, but we as an organization responsible for mentoring our employees have also succeeded.

Everything involving my family including my children and grandchildren, as well as my friends. My other hobbies include my beach house, kayaking, watching my football and handball teams, good food, gardening and nature.

While I enjoy traveling and meeting new people, the most rewarding part of the job is assisting people in getting them back up and running. I feel like a hero as most clients are so appreciative that they have minimal downtime and they can continue with their everyday work. The teamwork gives a sense of a close-knit family with one end goal – to help the insured with their equipment and returning to a pre-loss condition, or in some instances even better.

Integrity, respect, responsibility, honesty, hope, loyalty and most important family!
