‘It’s the diversity and the charm of a technical company that makes it so interesting’
Peter received his Bachelors’ degrees in Electronics/Telematics and commercial economics from the University of professional education in The Hague. He started his career developing and installing safety equipment for construction and infrastructure and working at a marine naval base. At DeRegt he has held various positions, in the project management department as well as the sales department.
He is now responsible for the expansion of DeRegt into more diversified market areas, such as sustainable energy, sensor and sensing and specialty Oil&Gas niches, such as deep water repair work.
What makes your work so enjoyable?
‘Especially the diversity and the charm of a technical company make it so interesting.
There is close cooperation at all levels and in all areas, and in additional to this there is a great deal of interaction with the technical side of the company. The systems that are offered are complex, and they require quite a lot of guidance. Most products are then also used in a very extreme environment, which makes it even more challenging. Every single day is different!’
Is there life beyond DeRegt?
‘In my spare time, I like to work on small construction projects; making something is an important way to relax. Psychology is another area of interest. But I’m also very happy when I sit down for a good board game or a good boxset. I have two daughters and two sons; my wife Hanneke combines her job in healthcare with the management of the homefront.’
