What do you do at 1nergiek?

At 1nergiek, I am responsible for the service office, the commercial department, and all calculations for commercial projects.

How did you end up in this profession?

After working at an accounting firm for eight years, I was ready for a different work environment and more dynamism. That is why I applied to Teico Service, the predecessor of 1nergiek, as a service office employee. From that role, I grew internally. By now, I can no longer imagine leaving the cleaning industry any time soon.

What gives you energy in your work?

I get energy from working together with my colleagues. It makes me happy to see that they go to work with pleasure and that we achieve great results as a team. And of course, I also get energy when a great commercial project is awarded to 1nergiek!

Which situation at work has stayed with you, and why?

The day I joined the team on the floor in cleaning has stayed with me the most. That was when I saw how much work our cleaning colleagues do and with how much passion they do it. Their involvement with the locations where they work and the sense of responsibility they have for them also impressed me. View the recap of my day on the work floor.
