Jolene wasn't always a Field Service Manager. She was a chef for 15 years, working in both restaurants and contract catering.
"For me this job has been very different to being a chef. I get to work my own hours Monday to Friday. Every day is different. One day, I could be descaling a walk-in dishwasher in full PPE, fixing dispenser units, making sure that our solutions flow through the dispensers without any problems. The next day I could be dressed professionally doing food safety and cleaning audits for another customer.""I love the variety of tasks each day brings!"

In Tony’s role, he works with key industry leading companies in his E.V. (Electric Vehicle) and battery segment, providing water-conserving solutions for our customers.
"Growing up, I always wanted to be a doctor to help save lives and make people's lives better. Through my career as a chemical engineer, I came across Ecolab, whose mission statement of making things cleaner, safer and healthier, coincided with the values that I live by, and I thought this would be a great place instead of saving one life at a time, I can save many lives all at once."
