Get acquainted with… Ada

To offer even more insight into how things are going on in the workplace, we would like to introduce our team members to you. We start with Ada, one of our employees and quality inspector.

Ada is 23 years old and was born in Poland. She has lived in the Netherlands since 2014 and has been working in our team for three years now. Ada is what you call a 'busy bee'. Sitting still is nothing to her. Her spare time is also devoted to activity. She travels as much as possible and loves to learn about other cultures. When she is not travelling, she prefers to spend her time with her husband and friends.

At Snijpunt, Ada is responsible for the inspection of all incoming and outgoing products. Quality and the specific customer requirements are the most important points for attention. To become a quality inspector, she has achieved several inspection modules and continues to do at least one supplementary course per year.

If we ask Ada what she likes most about her job, her answer is as enthusiastic as clear. "I like working with other people and I can work in a team very well. People from different countries work in our company, which I really like. Everyone has a different way of working, but together we can achieve a lot. In my work, I love to solve various problems. I listen to my colleagues and try to find the best solution to make sure everyone can go home satisfied after work."

Driven and eager

Ada being driven and eager is shown from her personal goals. "I want to live as happy as possible and get as many modules for quality employees as possible to continue growing in this profession." To achieve her goals, she actively works hard to learn as much as possible and is always open to tips and feedback. Privately she tries to do things for herself as often as possible and does not waste time on things that are not valuable to her.

In our business operations, we attach great value to our core values. We asked Ada which of these values are fit best for her. "I promised myself that I would never do anything against my will. But that is primarily a personal core value. When I look at Snijpunt, reliability (honesty) and cooperation (helping other people) are the best for me."

Last summer, not only heat records were broken, but our production numbers considerably went up as well. How did you experience this hectic period?

"I prefer working in a busy period over working in the quiet winter time. For me, it is good if I have more 'on my mind' than normal. Ik makes me feel needed and I perform better. Our company is going to be even bigger, so I want to prepare well for the extra tasks that I am going to get." On that score, this summer season provides a good taste of what seems to come.

Ada has nominated purchaser Jeroen for the following 'get acquainted with'. "Jeroen is the person who arranges a lot of things for us and always tries to buy the best quality products. I find his work interesting and very important. "
