In May 1968 I was looking for a better job. I went to the Personnel Office of Clay Headquarters at Saargemünder Strasse and filled out the application form.
I started my new job at Directorate of Engineering & Housing (DEH), Utilities Division, Electrical Branch as Electric Motor Repairer.
In 1973 I got the foreman position. Our group was responsible to do the preventive maintenance work on all electric motor driven equipment in all US-Installations.
In 1979 I got the supervisory position of the Electrical Mechanical Branch (Utilities Div.). Now I was the Supervisor of four teams: Electric Shop, Motor Repair Team, Kitchen Equipment Team and Elevator Repair Team.
End of 1988 I changed to Management Engineering & Systems Branch (MESB) to work as an Industrial Engineering Technician. I learned a lot about computers, I worked with the IFS-Program (Integratd Facilities System) and was the point of contact for the correctness of the database for the DEH IFS Data. l liked the work very much. I had nice and friendly supervisors and colleagues.
In 1992 I changed again the branch and worked as Project Manager for Job Order Contracting (JOC), which was part of Engineering Plans & Services Div. at DEH. We made contracts for renovation work. Also there I had nice colleagues. I worked there until 31st of December 1993.
