Stories of our colleagues
Henk van Veldhuizen
Manager QESH Vernay Europe B.V.
We play Champions League in the automotive industry.
Working at Vernay as Manager QESH in the automotive industry is working in a dynamic, technically high-quality environment in which you are constantly challenged to achieve the best quality for the customer. Zero defects is the target.
Vernay is a nice informal, company with short lines of communication and many international contacts. Due to its relatively small size (200+ employees in Oldenzaal) you work a lot with other departments and can therefore react quickly. I have been working here for over 6 years with great pleasure. The automotive industry we're in gives me energy and not a day is the same.
As a Quality engineer within the QESH department, you work together with your colleagues from the QESH department (QA, QE, QC and ESH) and within projects. In terms of quality, you are the spider in the web in the full span of supplier, production up to and including the customer for existing and new products. This gives you the freedom to independently realize your tasks in which the team helps and supports each other. This makes Vernay an enjoyable and committed employer for an enthusiastic and committed Quality Engineer!
Feel free to contact us for additional information and feel welcome.
Ralf Peters
Quality Engineer Vernay Europe B.V.
In the automotive industry, in which Vernay works, the position of Quality Engineer is challenging and dynamic. Not only because of the strict regulations but also because of the wide applications that Vernay not only develops but also produces. As a result, you may contribute to the development of a new application today and implement an improvement process within our factory tomorrow. The biggest challenge within the position is solving and managing customer and supplier problems. For someone with an affinity with technology and a solution-oriented working attitude, Vernay is an enjoyable and varied environment.
About us
Vernay is an international organization with a relatively small size. The lines are therefore short and there is a pleasant, collegial atmosphere. In the quality department you work in a compact team with five direct colleagues. Within the team we work closely together to achieve our goals, but it is also important to enjoy what we do. Humor in the department is important, so some input in that area is appreciated!
