The Operations team is like a well-oiled machine, and I've been fortunate to be a part of it. I've had opportunities to work closely with cross-functional teams, including engineering, sales, and logistics. This collaboration has not only broadened my understanding of the business, but has also helped me build strong relationships.
I have completed my Master’s from Hochschule Karlsruhe in Sensor system technology and Bachelor’s degree from India in Instrumentation engineering.
My interest in working at Hitex was due to my previous work experience in Technical Sales as well as the interest in electronics and components.
As a former student at Hitex, I had the opportunity to gain valuable insights into the company's operations and culture. During my time as a student, I was impressed by the company's commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. The experience not only deepened my understanding of the industry but also instilled in me a passion for delivering exceptional customer experiences.
After completing my studies, I was inspired to pursue a career at Hitex due to the company's excellence and its dedication to fostering a collaborative and dynamic work environment. I was drawn to the Operations team, in particular, because of their focus on leveraging expertise in embedded systems and production to drive business success.
When I joined the Operations team, I was warmly welcomed by my colleagues, who were friendly, approachable, and eager to share their knowledge and expertise. The environment was indeed very friendly and welcoming, which made the transition to a professional role seamless. Throughout my journey, I have been consistently impressed by the company's commitment to its employees' growth and development, and I feel fortunate to be a part of the Hitex team.
A typical day for me at Hitex starts with reviewing our "Angebotsliste", a list of open inquiries and production requests. I check this list every morning to stay on top of new inquiries and updates. If there are any new production requests, they are directed to my colleague and me, and we take it from there. This daily routine helps me stay organized and ensures that we're responding promptly to customer inquiries and production needs.
In addition to reviewing the "Angebotsliste", my daily routine typically includes:
As a student, I had the opportunity to develop skills and gain experiences that have proven to be invaluable in my current role at Hitex. One of the most significant skills I developed was the ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritize responsibilities. As a student, I was responsible for completing fewer tasks which are given to me on time, which helped me develop my time management and organizational skills.
Now, as a full-time employee in the Operations department, I've taken on more responsibilities and am accountable for managing entire quotes from start to finish. This means I'm responsible for coordinating with internal teams, communicating with customers, and ensuring that production schedules are met. The skills I developed as a student, such as time management, organization, and attention to detail, have been essential in helping me succeed in this role.
When it comes to describing the culture and working environment at a company, it's essential to consider multiple aspects. From my perspective:
I'd like to emphasize the exceptional effort and dedication of the Operations team at Hitex. We truly exemplify a customer-centric approach, going above and beyond to deliver every project with utmost care and attention to detail. Our commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of the work, from planning to execution, ensuring that customers receive high-quality solutions that meet their unique needs. The Operations team at Hitex is driven by a passion for delivering outstanding customer experiences, which has been instrumental in the company's success.
