Although Jens Ravn Sørensen is trained as a freight forwarder, it was never actually the plan that he would end up as a Product Specialist at BetaPack – but now, more than 13 years later, he cannot imagine doing anything else.
For Jens, the role as Product Specialist in the construction department has many facets, and it very much requires in-depth knowledge of both the industry and the products themselves – and as he puts it, he is a bit of a Swiss army knife.
“When you’ve been at BetaPack for more than 13 years like I have, you’ve had your hands in just about everything. In my role, I need to know what our products are capable of and understand the key parameters when we develop new solutions. At the same time, I have to be deeply involved in documentation and sustainability related to our products. So yes, I know a lot – about a lot” Jens explains.
No two working days are the same
The varied nature of the work, the many points of contact, the development of existing products, and new and exciting projects – that is exactly what makes Jens’ working week something special.
“My working days are very diverse. I handle technical questions from both customers and colleagues, take part in new projects and product development, and I’m responsible for proofreading all product documentation. I never get bored, and one of the best things about it all is that I learn something new every day – to a greater or lesser extent” Jens says.
One area in particular takes up a lot of Jens’ time: sustainability and documentation. There is an increasing focus on being able to document and quality-assure every aspect of a construction project – right down to the smallest detail of each individual product used. This is where Jens’ expertise and sharp eye for detail come into play, ensuring that all product documentation is always 100% accurate.
