Jonathan Emmers joined Resillion while he was still completing his bachelor’s degree in IT. Four years on, he has built a career in quality engineering that has taken him inside some of Belgium’s most interesting industries — from electric vehicle charging to the Port of Antwerp.

Getting started before graduation

His introduction to Resillion came through two classmates who had already joined the business, followed by a conversation with a Resillion manager at a careers fair. What he heard encouraged him to take a closer look — and he liked what he saw.

“I started working here before finishing my degree, which was really valuable. I could work on real-life projects rather than only learning the theory.”

Seeing technology at work

Today, Jonathan works as a quality engineering consultant on a system that supports container check-ins at the Port of Antwerp. His previous assignment focused on EV charging in Ghent. The variety gives him a view of how technology supports complex, high-profile operations — experiences that are difficult to gain from the outside.

“You get to see how different industries work from the inside. It enriches my personal life too, and these are experiences I can take with me into the future.”

Good work starts with good people

For Jonathan, the people are the best part of the job. Quality engineering calls for technical ability, calm thinking and an analytical mindset, but he believes communication matters just as much. That combination has helped him build strong relationships with testers, developers, managers and customers.

“The colleagues are a lot of fun. I’ve had the pleasure of working with really good developers throughout my career here, and there’s a strong sense of teamwork.”

Trusted to deliver, supported when it matters

Jonathan values the freedom he has to manage his work and the trust placed in him to deliver for customers. Flexible working gives people room to choose what works best, while the welcoming atmosphere in the Hasselt office means he still enjoys coming in to catch up with colleagues. His managers are available when he needs them without micromanaging.

“I’m sometimes surprised by how much faith people put in me to get the job done. My manager doesn’t micromanage, but he’s there whenever I need him.”

Growing through challenge

From learning how software is built and tested in the real world to taking on a more strategic role on a demanding project, Jonathan has continued to stretch himself. He has developed technical knowledge as well as skills in working with others, managing priorities and building customer confidence. Experience from an earlier career in recruitment has also proved useful, giving him a commercial perspective that helps him spot opportunities and strengthen client relationships.

“I can see that I’m still growing — in my career and as a person. Each challenge gives you experience that makes the next obstacle easier to handle.”
