Ursula Jurgens

Ursula is a key player within the QES family! She has been with the QES-family from the beginning in 2009. She has grown so much from when she started as an admin clerk to her current role as Recruitment Manager. Her style is that of professionalism and “calmness”. She is very process driven and between the different styles of the recruiters, she is the one that keeps the recruitment office on their toes. Her positivity and love for people are just some of her strong attributes. Her team sees her as a good leader with strong attributes and they respect her opinion and guidance. Ursula is passionate about what she does and guides her team with that passion. She is a big asset to QES.

Gretchen Senekal

Gretchen is a mini-Marnel as many will call her. She is QES’s Account Manager alias Credit controller alias Contract specialist, you name it she does it. She joined the QES-family in 2010. She has moved from being the friendly face that greets you at the office into the role of Account Manager and visits our contractors and clients. She remains the “control-freak” of the office and rubs off on the rest of her peers by teaching them how things need to be done. She is an eager learner and therefore makes it her business to know everything about everyone. She is a perfectionist at heart and therefore her motto is that of “rather too early than too late”. For Gretchen NO job is too big and her “can-do” attitude is a real blessing for QES.

He is passionate about everything he starts and will go to the extreme once he finds interest in something. His love and knowledge for all different kind of music genres is quite impressive.
