Meet the team – Huib de Bruijn

You are part of 360°KAS for quite some years, what do you do?
Since a number of years I am employed as Analyser Specialist, being responsible for the engineering of analyser and sampling solutions. Within projects I am involved as lead engineer guiding a multidisciplinary team of engineers throughout the various phases of engineering. I furthermore assist our sales team in the conceptual designs to create solutions for our clients. This involves traveling to our international clients providing our specialist knowledge as consultancy for detailing the solution that fits their measurement issue.

What are your current activities?
I am always involved as lead engineer in number of projects at the same time, both executing the engineering work (such as preparing lag time and dew point calculation) as reviewing the work of the engineering team assuring a proper design. For example, I am assigned as lead engineer in the Orpic Liwa CEMS project, where we supply 7 analyser houses for emission monitoring to Oman.

As all projects are in a different stage of execution, I am also in close contact with our construction and service department, proving them with the required information to guarantee our high level of quality.

How did you end up in the Analyser business?
After finalizing my middle education (MBO) in Electrical Engineering, I started my career as service engineer at Total refinery in Vlissingen, The Netherlands. After 7 years I decided to join Westinghouse (a 360°KAS predecessor) as commissioning & start-up engineer. Through the years with many additional education in the field of industrial automation, ATEX and Material Science I grew to the specialist role I have today.

Why is 360°KAS your ultimate employer?
Definitely for the solutions we offer and the clients we work for: no project is the same! The accompanying requests and specifications are interesting, even though I have seen a broad portfolio through the years, but it keeps fascinating me. I am happy with our in house assembly facility and to see my engineering efforts coming to live.
