At Recion, skilled on-site professionals play a key role in delivering safe, high-quality and efficient industrial projects. With a background in piping and hands-on welding – which began with a personal car project – Elias knows the value of practical skills. Today, he brings that experience to his new role as on-site engineer.
Hi Elias! What’s it like working as on-site engineer at Recion?
There are no similar days – plenty of variety in tasks. Safety is a big part of my work: attending weekly safety meetings and tours, making safety observations and holding toolbox talks. I also track project progress, plan future phases and make sure everything runs smoothly as a team.
From your perspective, what advantages do clients gain from having Recion’s team directly on site?
What impressed me early on was the level of detail in the quality control and documentation. So I have to say that the real edge comes in highly demanding projects with strict quality requirements and thorough documentation. It also shows in projects that highlight the skills of the welders and fitters. Another advantage is the telehandler – it reduces the need for external lifting services and saves time.
What are the biggest challenges in leading complex on-site installations?
The biggest challenges are still ahead, but for now, unpredictable problems – figuring out how to overcome them is key. Many contractors working in a small area can lead to delays, so coordination is essential.
How would you describe the atmosphere on site – what’s the team spirit like?
Teamwork on site is great – we can have a laugh in the breakroom, but everyone takes the work seriously and with dedication. The team has been very welcoming, encouraging me to ask questions if any problems arise.
What makes Recion stand out as a workplace for on-site professionals?
The work environment and how people are treated. Recion takes safety seriously and cares about the wellbeing of workers – for example, by providing good personal gear.
