 Helmut Sengstschmid
MSc PhD
Oakdene Hollins is pleased to welcome our most recent Technical Consultant, Helmut Sengstschmid, who joins us as he finishes his MSc in Environmental Management for Business.
Helmut is an experienced operations manager from the chemical industry with in-depth knowledge of the environment, and experience in health and safety issues. He is studying for his MSc at Cranfield University, having already gained his PhD in Chemistry ‘with excellence’ at the University of Graz in Austria and a ‘Würdigungspreis’ from the Austrian Ministry of Sciences.
He was previously Production Manager for DSM Fine Chemicals at their fine chemicals production site at Linz, where he led a team of 65 staff running two multi-purpose plants with over 20 different processes.
He has particular expertise in preparation and negotiation of permits for chemical plants, improvements in operations and logistics, implementing Lean production, and – by implementing quality management procedures – transforming a product line from commodity to near-pharma quality.
Helmut says he “relishes new challenges”. His initial work with us is on UK Ecolabel Delivery for Defra: he’ll be an expert adviser, assessing applications and dealing with technical enquiries.
