Every day Werner lifts off the ground to do his work, feeling right at home at a height of roughly 60 metres. In 1994, he started working as a fitter for Alpine Energie. Promoted to site manager in 2014, he has worked on hundreds of construction sites over the past 23 years. He has seen a lot during this time but was only seldom able to simply enjoy the view:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Werner, you are currently deployed in Hamburg, far away from home. How is life at the construction site?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Honestly, it\u2019s quite action-packed. And, yes, sometimes I miss the mountains, but I have to admit working in the lowlands is much nicer. When I am on the road, my week always has a similar structure. On Mondays, I travel to the site from home and then take care of assignments and instructions for the fitters. I stay at the construction site until the evening. My week continues in the same manner until the weekend. Then, on Friday, my co-workers and I travel home again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That sounds pretty stressful\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is, but it also has its advantages. The work is diverse and you get around a lot. It\u2019s very exciting for me to see new things all the time and the challenges at the various construction sites are also quite varied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Diverse sounds good. What are the prerequisites for your job?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You mustn\u2019t suffer from vertigo and shouldn\u2019t get homesick easily. We are on the road a lot and not just locally. Therefore, anybody who would like to work as a fitter should be willing to tolerate long drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have a great work atmosphere here and that makes the cooperation very nice. <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Looking back, would you make the same decision again today to work for EQOS Energie?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Definitely! We have a great work atmosphere here and that makes the cooperation very nice. As far as the equipment is concerned, we only have the best \u2013 from tools to vehicles. What I like in particular is that we still have a lot of decision-making leeway regarding our work but also our tools. We all know each other and have our home base within a 100-kilometre radius. But what I like best are the German construction sites where we handle the workload jointly with our colleagues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Since 1994 and across national borders, site manager Werner has been making sure that electricity flows through the overhead lines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12598,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14359","erfolgsstorys","type-erfolgsstorys","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","nt-post-class","","masonry-item","col-lg-4"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
