My Personal Story
Sawasdee Ka! My name is VARUNEE. I am Thai but now I live and work in Hengelo, Netherlands.
I joined Suzlon in July’2022. It is my goal to work with a clean energy company in the Netherlands because I am an engineer who is looking to develop or create green energy!
That’s right! Suzlon is the right company for me. This place is one powerful company with the knowledge to create wonderful wind turbines. It is an interesting company, because they are a multinational employee and location wise with many various work cultures, skills, experiences, and languages. That is an advantage of Suzlon.
I am a junior material specialist. My duty is exploring materials and to experiment with materials trying to find the right material for the blades of a wind turbine. My working days are never boring and it is not your standard office work because I can design by myself and am flexible in my time management.
What are my interest? Making new laminates, test specimen coupons with Instron machines, kinetics testing and analysis of coupons. For the material specialist it is normal to be in contact with many departments, such as structural design or even suppliers. At Suzlon all genders are equal which is making me feel very welcome in a normally male dominated environment. That’s why I think Suzlon is suitable for me.
On Thursdays and Fridays at lunch time, we will have lumpias together. It is a very nice moment to chat and update your life with your colleagues. And sometimes I will make lumpias for my team. (My lumpia is very yummy 555 (“hahaha” in Thai)) I think my colleagues can confirm that! The communication and connection with the team is very important to me. I like cooking so much. For Thai food I can cook every menu. So, I can teach you too if you want! (No charge 555+) See you at Suzlon.
