The story of
Leo Penders
Senior Operations Engineer

How did you end up at Circle?
Our “raw material” is wastewater from the 60 plants on the site. This creates a lot of dynamism in my work, where every day, and even every hour, we make clean Meuse water from a different composition of wastewater. Besides the dynamics, it also requires good coordination with customers, consultation with our “neighbors. We watch over the wastewater of all of Chemelot and have contacts with fellow technologists at the plants for this purpose.
What is typical about Circle as an employer?
What do you enjoy most about working at Circle?
What are your personal ambitions?
I also derive satisfaction from my duties on the Works Council. I am involved in organizational development and have helped create our new name and core values. Now we are looking at how we, together with our teams, can integrate them into our daily work, including through workshops.
What is your message for future employees?
