At the beginning of the year, we work hard on all the financial processing for the utility usage, so the actual use of utilities for each tenant has to be offset by the advance estimates they paid every month during the previous year.” “No, the work also changes throughout the year. “We also have an MOC during the week, or management-of-change meeting, when we evaluate the new requests for work from the committee to get approval for further work on a new job.” This data, the usage in other words, has to be input in my system every month so that we have quick answers to tenants’ questions or those from our own department.” Regular inspection of the more than 350 meters we now have is important. “Making sure the utility meters are still working is time-consuming. We have now automated this work so manual activities aren’t necessary anymore and this means fewer errors.” My colleagues in the Utility Support Group always want usage figures from us around this time. At the beginning of the month, utilities such as electricity, heat and water keep me pretty busy. “I have regular meetings with the people who are doing preventive and corrective maintenance on the sites, roads and access systems. This variation has kept the work at Brightlands Chemelot Campus interesting for 35 years.” So many things regularly crop up unannounced, things you don't plan for, but these are actually the days that I enjoy more. “My working day is never standard sometimes I have a lot of meetings but often I don’t. When you’re there, you get up-to-date on everything, which is why I still stick to this routine even though I hate to get out of bed (laughs). I used to manage the Operational Center and their shift change is at 7:00h.
