The work must be carried out in accordance with standards, but also solidly and aesthetically… I can sign my name under every job I do.

Dominik Romasłowski has been working at Eryk for 5 years and is a Team Leader. We asked him a few questions:

What guides you on projects? What is most important to you?

First, professionalism; second, commitment; and third, most importantly, collaboration. The work must be carried out in accordance with standards, but also solidly and aesthetically, with the idea that it will be durable and functional for many years. It must be done with dedication, taking into account the wishes and requirements of the customer. The most important role here is played by the collaboration of both parties, psychosocial competencies, including emotional intelligence. I can sign my name under every job I do.

Your project portfolio is impressive: the automotive industry, food processing, and even a cruiser with an automated stage. Which of your projects has been the most interesting for you? Which one do you remember the most?

The most fascinating projects were undoubtedly the ones involving massive cruise ships. However, in terms of advanced technology, the project at the car factory of a French brand near Paris stands out. It involved building a vehicle motion platform capable of reaching acceleration up to 1g and speeds of up to 9 m/s. A test car with passengers is placed inside a simulator dome, which replicates all possible road conditions. Projectors installed inside the capsule enhance the realism of the driving experience. The simulator moves both longitudinally and transversely. The use of linear motors—future-forward technology—ensures precise control, minimal noise and vibrations, and energy generated during deceleration phases is stored and reused. The customer we worked for is renowned for implementing cutting-edge technologies in drives and controls for industry. I’m proud to have been part of such an innovative venture.

In addition to your technical skills, you also have an educational background in pedagogy. What are your observations from a teacher’s perspective regarding our apprentices?

Let’s start with the definition: an apprentice is someone who agrees to work with a skilled person for a certain period, to learn that person’s skills.

For me, the key word in this definition is “agrees.” I believe that individuals hired for such positions can be divided into two groups. The first group consists of those who genuinely enjoy their work and feel good about what they do. If you enjoy your work, it’s clear you’ll do it well. The saying, “find a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life,” didn’t come out of nowhere. The second group might not feel the same way and approach their tasks accordingly.

The greatest skill lies in bringing out the best in a team member. This is a very challenging task and, at times, might even be impossible.

We know you have many passions, including giving a second life to electrical devices. What are you most proud of so far?

This hobby is a mix of fun and the joy of seeing something work again—despite being manufactured over 50 years ago. Back then, audio equipment was designed with passion and crafted with incredible precision. It draws the listener into a stereo spectacle, making you feel the air between the instruments. On my trips, I often come across real electronic gems. It’s a bit like hiking in the mountains—the higher you go, the more interesting people you meet along the trail. It’s the same here: the more advanced the equipment, the more fascinating the person behind it.

One encounter that stuck with me was with an elderly gentleman from Belgium. He was 83 years old and selling a radio with a wide reception range—a so-called global radio. Before I bought it, I had the pleasure of listening to its entire story. The seller was an avid traveler and the author of several books, and the radio kept him company during his long journeys. It still plays beautifully and looks as good as new.

Photography is another one of my hobbies. Below, you can see a few shots I managed to capture “after hours” during project trips.
