I’m an electronics engineer, I’ve been with DEIF for 1 ½ years. Before joining the company at its offices here in Campinas, 100 km from São Paulo, I studied at the University of São Paulo in São Carlos city, I worked for 2 ½ years with GE (General Electronics) and spent a year in Australia.
With GE I worked as a development engineer in the generator and motor area. With DEIF I do mostly commissioning of generators and electrical motors but I also install and commission various other systems and equipment.
My work takes me all over Brazil, and increasingly all over South America. As the business expands we get to take on new challenges. I’ve recently been in South Ecuador and Argentina for instance. I know there are some projects developing in Venezuela and we do business in Chile.
A lot is happening for us and we’ve got a lot to learn still as things develop.
There is a good sense of teamwork in DEIF, even across countries. This is very interesting. If I have technical questions, I can send round an email and get responses from all over. Replies from the US, India etc.
I know a lot of my colleagues abroad from the annual seminars at the headquarters in Skive, Denmark.
Recently, when the Danish team were commissioning a big plant at Fukushima in Japan they needed an extra man on the site and I was lucky to be called in. In fact, I spent two weeks working on this mega plant alone, dealing with various problems like generators that weren’t properly set.
At DEIF you also get this sort of responsibility, and that’s one of the reasons I like my job.
