Structural modeller Moutaz tells…..

Geplaatst op: 8 February 2024

A classic example of an ambitious hard worker; that is our newest colleague Moutaz Bellah Ajjan. Over nine months ago, he started at our Gouda office in the role of structural modeler. A job that was tailor-made for him after completing his civil engineering studies at the Hogeschool Rotterdam. Together with our structural engineers, Moutaz ensures that drawings, models and calculations for various phases within projects can be delivered at Pelecon.

Moutaz came to the Netherlands in 2015 with a huge ambition to become a successful engineer. In doing so, he says: “falling is a new opportunity to stand up. Every time life frustrated me, I discovered that I had become stronger. I am a highly motivated person with great perseverance, someone with the will to get the best out of myself and succeed at all costs in everything I do.” How wonderful it is that we were able to add such a motivated colleague to our team!

The first period as a ‘Peleconner’
Moutaz explains that he was fully inducted into Pelecon in a short time. “My learning speed was helped by the experienced colleagues. The friendly atmosphere and helpfulness of all colleagues, combined with the informal corporate culture really appeal to me within Pelecon.”

The work of Moutaz
As an entry-level modeller, Moutaz works on all projects; after all, you gain experience by simply doing! Moutaz says he has developed a special interest in modelling distribution centres and steel structures. He also wants to delve more into that and we give him every opportunity to do so. Why Moutaz finds it so inspiring to work for such assignments? “Developing large distribution centres in a model is very challenging. It requires me to maintain an overview, both for myself and for my colleagues and our clients. Although; concrete structures are more complex and challenging, especially when it comes to the reinforcement of the structure (beams, floors, columns).”

Pride
“My pride is project Hall 6 for the Technische Unie in Alphen aan den Rijn. It was my first major project at Pelecon in which I was involved. We had to build a new hall to an existing hall. This project taught me an enormous amount about the entire project process; from A to Z.”
