A little bit about…

From his teenage obsession with instruments to his military career, Jan combined everything he loved when he began as a Calibration Engineer at Trescal. A Master’s degree in Industrial Science fueled his passion for the intricate world of instruments. He honed his technical skills while designing and selling electronic measurement equipment, giving him a taste of the world of precision. Combining his technical education with his hands-on experience, Jan found the perfect blend when he joined Trescal Antwerp.

My story

I came to Trescal through Emino, an employment partner of VDAB, the employment service of Flanders. From the first conversation, it was crystal clear that Trescal and I were on the same page. For me, going to work every day is a thrill. I am in the field that has fascinated me since I was a teenager. My role at Trescal allows me to face new challenges every day and to continue learning.

My day-to-day is incredibly varied, and I have the privilege of working alongside amazing colleagues. We recently moved to a new location, which is very exciting. It took a lot of planning and effort to have as little downtime as possible. I am also busy developing our procedures to offer clients accredited sound calibrations. We currently perform sound calibration traceable to ISO, but not yet under accreditation (BELAC).
