Bio
René Driessen
I am pleased to write a letter of recommendation for Bart Kusters for the position of Process Engineer at Inalfa Roof Systems Group BV. I have had the pleasure of working directly with Bart as his Project Manager during the launch phase of the TLES 2 production line for the past 8 months. During that time, we worked together closely, so I fully understand his capabilities and competences. Bart has the ability to perceive patterns and is able to think outside the box when necessary which makes him very capable of solving problems. He has a strong understanding of industry standards and excellent in thinking of new and innovative ways to make existing things work more efficiently. His willingness to accept challenges and listen to input enables him to contribute thoughtful, well-reasoned solutions to helping others solve difficult problems. Bart has top-notch logical skills. He is able to make sense of complex systems and understands how things work and how problems arise. He has shown that he is a very intelligent person with a mind well-suited as engineer with a vast amount of technical knowledge. Bart is a great addition to any engineering team. I have no doubts other companies will be exceptionally pleased if they hire Bart for other Engineering or Continuous Improvement projects.
