Dragan Bodrozic

Skydiver who has done 1670 jumps

Dragan Bodrozic is a member of the Solutions

Sector, Deployment Team, positioned as the Medior

deployment engineer, responsible for the delivery

of Enterprise ADMS.

What is your typical day at work like and what are your duties?

No day is ordinary, nor is it the same. I would rather say that they are similar. Specifically, my task is to install (deliver) and maintain ADMS, test systems in Novi Sad, and our clients’ systems.

2. What is your strongest impression when you get to work and why do you love your job?

People, their work, synergy and our final product which definitely changes the world and affects the quality of people's lives. We all know what it’s like when we run out of electricity... The second thing is working in new technologies, fieldwork, working with clients, traveling to new countries, getting to know new people, understanding new aspects and gaining new experiences. All this makes the work exciting and special, and this is what attracts me and what I like.

3. Who are you when you are not at work, what do your private obligations look like and do they consume much of your time?

When I’m not at work, I am a husband and a father of two girls, ages 12 and 14, 24/7 at service. As girls grow, responsibilities are in a way reduced, because the children are more independent and responsible. On the other hand, I worry more.

4. We know you do skydiving. How did this love begin?

Last year was my 31st year of doing skydiving. I have jumped 1670 times so far. I’m not a professional, but I experienced something closest to professionalism during my military service when I was recruited for the elite 63rd Parachute Battalion in Niš (one of the battalions constituting the Special Brigade of the Serbian Army).

5. What are your accomplishments? Do you have any rewards?

Seven years in a row, I was a holder of National Accuracy Landing record. You exit the aircraft at 1000 meters and an electronic recording is set to measure the distance from the target center. The center itself is 2cm in diameter and it measures score up to 15cm. Competitor who hits within 16cm and drops 5m or 100m is given the same score as the one who hit 16cm. The first contact with the base is counted, and the competitors try to touch the dead center mark with the heel of their shoe. Several times I have been selected for a national team member in classic disciplines. I have also won multiple team and individual competitions in the countries of the region. The last gold medal my team won was in Montenegro, in 2016.

6. What does one need to know before entering the world of skydiving?

First of all, you must want it and there has to be a will which will overcome fear. It is normal to feel fear in this sport. Fear keeps us safe and makes us be more cautious. With a lot of practice and gained experience, skydivers get used to fear, they overcome it, but this state is not a constant. All the required knowledge is obtained from the instructor at the small airport in compliance with a strict procedure which is very important to stick to. We dedicate a lot of time to dealing with unusual situations and reactions in situations when something goes wrong.

7. How do you become a skydiving instructor?

The instructor license requires appropriate number of jumps, experience and knowledge. There are also challenging oral, written, and practical exams. There are several levels of skydiving professionals for which you need to obtain A, B, C and D category license. Each obtained license represents a new level of acquired knowledge and experience. It enables you to perform certain types of dives from particular heights, on certain sizes and categories of drop zones, at certain wind speed, the right to perform a particular number of jumps in one day, etc. In addition to conditions prescribed by A, B and C category licenses, one has to be a holder of C category license for minimum one year, must have jumped 500 times and has to have been in free fall for at least 120 minutes. After passing the D category license exam, person is granted the right to perform jumps without limitations in terms of wind speed, unlimited number of dives during 24 hours, landing to category 3 drop zones and the right to test jumps. After obtaining D category license, additional conditions are required such as the authorization of the coach (instructor assistant), a certificate of completed professional practice, and passed instructor exam. As you can see, the path is neither simple nor easy.

8. How does skydiving affect a person's body or the character? Are any personality traits required for skydiving?

Any psychophysically healthy person over 16 years of age with a valid medical examination for motor vehicle category B or a valid driving license for Category B may do the skydiving. An exception to this rule is tandem skydiving, with an instructor, which is a specific type of "tourist" jump and differs greatly from independent diving. I sincerely recommend it to anyone over 14 years of age. Tandem skydiving refers to a type of skydiving where a student skydiver is connected to a harness attached to a tandem instructor. The instructor takes care of everything. All you need to do is enjoy. As far as individual jumping is concerned, it is your body that makes the most effort. You do not have to be healthy or be in shape like a supersonic pilot or an astronaut, but if you are, better for you, the effort is easier to bear. The enjoyment you feel during the diving itself makes these efforts easier to overcome, which is like some kind of compensation. Athletes bear more effort. As for students, we try to make them as much easier as possible, helping them with packing, separating them from the airplane to defeat the air resistance at 100-130 km/h, with longer rest breaks and so on until they adapt to this type of specific body load for which most people are unprepared. Changes in temperature and pressure are immense and abrupt, and they occur in a very short time interval. Changes of over 30 oC within 4 to 5 minutes, together with the change of pressure, affect the body a lot. When you add up dynamic impact during the parachute opening – we cannot forget that the body should stop from 160 - 200 km/h to 10 - 15 km/h in a few seconds, packing of the parachute which lasts 15 to 20 minutes and in some phases, it is physically very demanding in the sun, without shade, and when you jump 8 times a day with small breaks, you must be psychophysically fit to bare it all. Weariness often causes a decline in concentration which is a priority in this sport, both during diving and packing, because a small mistake can have catastrophic consequences. Making decisions at extremely short time intervals in emergency situations, such as deep water landing, barriers in the form of high voltage lines, trees, buildings, vehicles, the failure of the main parachute, is one of the paramount qualities of a skydiver. You often have only 10 to 15 seconds to solve the problem and save yourself, sometimes not even that much as everything happens literally in a second. The usual practice in our country and in the world is that elite military units are often parachute units. This fact speaks a lot about personality traits that parachutists possess.

9. What does skydiving mean to you personally?

A beautiful view, a sense of freedom, happiness, and pleasure that occur during and after the jump. To jump, you need to fly or climb a building, mountain / wall, antenna, bridge, something that is high enough. The world is then much prettier than it really is. Many things that bother you on the ground simply disappear up there. You focus only on enjoyment, on the beauty of the environment. When you dive, the feeling of fear disappears, you become unaware of weight, the time slows down, you can freely manage your body so that you can move away or come closer to other skydivers. This body management during free-fall allows us to build formations. Such jumps require careful planning of the execution and great experience of all team members.

Although it's really a free fall at high speed, you have the impression that you are flying. After a free fall, the parachute opens and you fly, i.e., you manage the parachute. This phase is most similar to paragliding. Peace, silence, and wind in your hair. And you can imagine the view. Exception to this enjoyment is competition, when you suppress enjoyment because you are focused on the goal and achieving the best score. The final phase is landing and happiness that results in a smile. Your batteries are recharged, mind and body refreshed… maybe this would be my final answer to this question.

10. What is your life motto?

I don’t have a strict life motto. I only have goals I want to accomplish. When I do, I set new ones, and so on. That way, I am never bored.

Nikola Asurdzic

An Extreme Consumer of Nature

Nikola Asurdzic is Support & Maintenance Coordinator within Solutions Sector. His role represents SPOC (single point of contact) with regard to clients–SE DMS relation and vice versa, for all clients who have moved from project phase into support phase. His working day is quite dynamic since he is constantly in touch with client. He meets new challenges which require solutions by coordinating teams in a specific time interval, thus possession of “soft skills”, next to technical ones, is of key importance.

1. Did you make the right decision at that traffic light and why?

Reflecting back from where I stand now, I would say that I made the right decision. I began gaining experience in this industry based on practice and deployment environment. On the other hand, I gained additional education and was engaged in scientific work with an insight into the best practice.

2. What does your usual day at work look like and what are your duties?

As I already mentioned, my working day is extremely dynamic and comes down to, more or less, a reactive way of working. Why? Because I am in charge of responding to clients’ questions. In fact, clients receive information only from us in the support phase. I am also in charge of sending information to clients given from SE DMS NS. The day is dynamic because tasks don’t repeat much. We are all aware that our clients are extremely different and even though we deliver more or less the same solution to everyone, ADMS/AGMS software, wishes and requirements of our clients are extremely different due to the high level of customizations. This is also the main reason why I meet with new client requests daily that need to be sublimated, analyzed and assigned to the relevant analysis team. We need to monitor the analysis and complement it with necessary information and ultimately deliver the solution to a client at the agreed time and within financial and quality framework.

3. What is your strongest impression when you get to work and why do you love your job?

The premise in Park City itself left the strongest impression. The light, transparent and very pleasant environment. As for business activities, I recognized two currents in everyday work: the first one being the current of a smaller one, parent company, DMS Group, founded by professors from the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad, and the second one, company under guidance of the global Schneider Electric. I was also pleasantly surprised by existence of a sort of community among employees, internal portal, the company restaurant and the gym where the company enables us to play different sports and to be physically active by attending diverse trainings.

Beside work, Nikola's universality is reflected through different extreme sports he does. He is also a nature lover.

4. How did it all begin and where does love towards extreme sports come from?

Ever since I was a boy, I have loved outdoor sports. That’s how I discovered skiing and after that diving, which I have been into since 2002. I was curious about what’s down there in the sea while we swim on the surface. That curiosity took me to diving.

5. Does this love for extreme sports make your job easier and how?

Love and dedication to a sport makes a job easier because it drags us both physically and psychologically from work. From my point of view, it is necessary for a person to have qualitatively fulfilled free time and to feel complete, accomplished during that time. I don’t think I would be a better person if I focused on the job during my spare time. It is indispensable to focus and prosper in other segments of your life, whether it’s a sport, art or charity work.

It’s important to dedicate yourself to a hobby and live a moment while consuming it. Only this way we will flourish and prove to ourselves that we can do more, better, move forward, which will motivate us to act the same way in other areas as well. Sport, especially an extreme one, requires concentration and dedication which is why I feel good about it because it helps me make a distance from everyday life, whether it’s work or something else. One thing leads to another – good at “free time” good at work, and vice versa.

6. What is your life motto?

I remember the time when first mobile phones appeared and started preoccupying our days, although much less than they do today. Soon, an option to set a “hello” message at turning on your phone became available on certain models. My message then, 15 years ago, was and still is “Life is beautiful”. It matches my motto.

Stevan Zeljkovic

Our Engineer In A Beekeeping Suit

Stevan Zeljkovic is a part of Network Model Team

He works as a Medior Test Engineer. His job

is to assess the quality, test the software, write manual

and sometimes automatic tests.

What does your usual day at work look like and what are your duties? What is your strongest impression when you get to work and why do you love your job?

I’m happy to be in a team which is a part of the successful global company. I love my job because I can upgrade my knowledge gained at the faculty. When I enter the Company, I encounter agile, working environment with a high degree of organization for the development of innovative solutions in power engineering.

My day begins in our gym. After that, I have breakfast at the company's restaurant and I begin to perform tasks that are pre-determined and planned for that day. When I sit at my computer, I usually set an installation with a part of the software my team developed to check if new features are being upgraded as expected and whether they’re violating the existing functionalities. If I find something is wrong, I pass it to the person (or team) who is in charge of maintaining that part of the software. I write manual tests for testing a part of the software being developed.

2. Who are you when you are not at work and what do you do in your spare time?

Because of what I do, I need physical activity and mental recreation. I spend my free time by indulging in numerous activities. I’ve been improving the foreign language I need for my work. I've been doing karate for a long time. Sometimes I do judo or go to our Patriot boxing club. I play football or I go swimming with colleagues. When I have time, I like to cook for my friends and family. I love nature. I have my own small plantation of fruit trees and I seasonally prune fruit. Working in nature relaxes me and recharges my batteries so I return to balance. That’s how I started doing beekeeping.

3. Where did love for bees come from and how did it all begin?

I didn’t do much theory since I had an assistance of two good friends who were already into this “craft”. However, if you do not have a mentor and are starting on your own, you do need theoretical preparation, since there’s a lot more to it than just buying bees. There’s a lot to do in beekeeping. At the beginning, I spent a lot of time on assembling beehives and frames, and I did it all by myself. Beside effort, you need a lot of equipment such as beekeeping suit, J type bee scrap knife, bee smoker, beekeeping brush, self-turning honey extractor, propolis traps, queen bee catcher, uncapping table, bee venom collector and much more.

4. Do you always wear a beekeeping suit and do bees sting?

At first, I did not wear a protective suit. During the regular inspection of the hives, which is performed very often, every 5 to 7 days in the active season, when the weather is fine and good pasture, the bees are calm and will not sting if you do not press them or disturb them with a sudden move. Bees usually sting when they are nervous, and this happens when the weather is bad. After they sting you, they die, because they remain without a muzzle and a part of the womb, as opposed to a wasp and hornet.

Somehow, I do not get sting so often, but three weeks in a row it happened that I got bitten by my eyebrow, and I had to go to work the next day, so swollen. That's why my team colleagues bought me a protective suit, gloves and a honey jar.

On the other hand, bees provide us with: honey, bees wax, pollen, propolis, bee bread, royal jelly, and bee venom. Honey has various healing properties, from relaxing to treatment of various inflammation. It is rich in various vitamins and minerals that are necessary for maintaining good health. These include: iron, zinc, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, magnesium, manganese, chromium and selenium. Even bee venom is used in various headache creams and for healing wounds

Beekeeping has been developing in recent years and a lot of young people have begun dealing with this branch of agriculture. However, they give up because of high costs, big damage caused by spraying, a lot of work and profit risks.

Beekeeping requires a lot of investment and work, the schedule must be observed, the nature must be followed. We must be responsive to the needs of the bee society and nurture it for it to give its best results. This hobby returns much more than obtained products – it connects us with nature, brings us back to it and makes us connect with our inner selves, helps us restore natural balance, which is often hampered by the rapid pace of everyday life and urban life.

5. What can we learn from bees? How are bees and people you work with similar?

Bees are extremely hardworking and organized creatures we can learn a lot from.

Bee community is one of the most organized communities in nature and is very similar to human society. When building a bee hive or making honey or when doing any other activity, bee community functions without misunderstandings and arguments.

All bee products have healing properties and are food for humans. Bees and humans belong to the same eco-system. However, humans differ because they violate the eco-system with which they jeopardize the survival of bees’ community, despite knowing that disappearance of bees brings their own survival into question.

6. What is your life motto?

Healthy body, healthy mind.

Andjelka Djorojevic

Nobility Ambassador

Andjelka Djorojevic is employed in the Finance Sector as a Senior Commercial Assistant at the Invoicing Department and is a real ambassador of nobility and beauty she inevitably radiates.

What does your usual day at work look like and what are your duties?

Duties during my working day are diverse, which is a good side of my engagement. As part of my work tasks, I perform various activities that include both administrative and creative work. The team I work in is included in ongoing, as well as development tasks. Jobs include communication with a large number of departments and colleagues and also independent work.

Department I work in deals with various tasks, and the most important one is the issuing of invoices for every work done by our company. It is obvious why this segment of our engagement is the most important one. Invoices our department issues provide cash inflow on the basis of successfully performed work of our company. It’s not only issuance of invoices that we do. We actively track realization of all our projects, create plans and predictions of our results.

2. What’s your biggest impression when you enter the company and why do you love your job?

It’s a pleasure working in the environment where young people create working atmosphere. Naturally, I enjoy contemporary working conditions.

3. Who are you privately, what are your obligations and how much of your time do they require?

I try to organize my free time in such a way that everything I do, I do with pleasure, so I don’t have the feeling they are obligations.

I am engaged in the Association for the Protection of Animals SPANS. I am not time-bound, my engagement is not a full-time one nor do I have specific tasks. The association is made up of wonderful people and every member enjoys his/her responsibilities. Everyone is engaged as much as they can. The same thing is with me. I volunteer for jobs that I can and like to do, during my spare time. All members of the Association are volunteers, and of course each of us has responsibilities, jobs, families, etc. It seems hard to fit everything and still do volunteering work. The association functions in an organized way, with a lot of motivated people who want this to work and to last. All members strive to fit the obligations and adjust themselves to the free time of each volunteer.

4. How did it all begin?

I began volunteering in SPANS five years ago. I was thrilled with people who were engaged in charity work so I wanted to contribute to a higher goal. Charity work reflects one’s readiness to give a part of himself for the world to be a better place. Investing your time and effort bit by bit creates a better world. It is not important what kind of charity work you are involved in. I am often told I should be spending my free time on helping someone else instead of animals. These comments usually come from people who helped neither of them, thus they are not even competent to comment. I have chosen animals because I thought there are more of those who are ready to help people. I also felt that SPANS really needed help. Of course, I would do any other kind of charity work. It’s quite possible I will in the future.

5. Do you have a pet?

Yes, I have a cat. Her name is Maza. I found her on the street five years ago, when she was only two months old. I love her very much. Her character is quite specific. She was in poor shape when I found her, and who knows what her future and life would be like if I hadn’t found her. I can’t even stand the thought of her remaining in the street, all alone and unprotected. She is one of the reasons I joined SPANS.

6. What is your life motto?

Try to make the world a better place for all of us to live in. Each and every one of us can give a small contribution to it.

7. Do you have any other hobby?

A group of friends once talked me into joining their mountain climbers group and going climbing with them. Even after the first route I was delighted. It’s possible to put it all in one package – physical activity, spending time outdoor, hanging out with friends, seeing places you have never seen before. I visited many places in Serbia with this group of people. I wasn’t aware of the beauties of our country till then. The nature is indescribably beautiful! When organizing tours, this group of mountaineers always tries to visit some important places, monasteries, monuments, and even museums.

I also attend ballet classes for adults. This type of dance is a combination of physical activity and a type of art education. The history of this discipline and its development is fascinating. It encompasses music and theatre, which I am also interested in. I really enjoy every moment I dedicate to this activity.

8. And finally, is there anything else you would like to add that we didn’t ask?

I must say that it is very commendable that our company, and especially its employees, showed their humane side in several campaigns. It is truly nice that the company has enabled the " Čep za hendikep " and " Čepom do osmeha" campaigns to be organized within the company and that people actively collect plastic bottle caps to participate in these actions. Also, it is very praiseworthy that before winter holidays, the company and its employees collect funds for helping those who need help the most.

Dragutin Pantović

Dragutin is a master student at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade, majoring in Power Systems. He shared his experience of opting for the Schneider Electric scholarship program, as well as his impressions of the program:

“I got the perception that the company is considered one of the best in its field. I also received a recommendation from a friend who went through an internship program. Everything sounded interesting to me, as well as the fact that the company has offices in Belgrade, after which I applied for a scholarship. Testing for the scholarship program was a great experience, which I think is valuable to every student because it is good preparation for the challenges that await us in future job interviews. I am very pleased with the attitude of my older colleagues and the relationship with them. They showed a lot of understanding for the students and their obligations to the faculty. I would also like to point out that the training which is a regular part of the program helps us improve our knowledge, as well as regular scholarship payments, which shows the company’s professionalism. "

Stefan Zindović

After getting familiar with Schneider Electric at the "Open Day" for students, Stefan applied for the first cycle of the scholarship program.

“I was attending an interesting lecture, where several employees shared their experiences about their path from a student, a scholarship holder to an experienced engineer. Through the selection for the scholarship program, I had the opportunity to say where I see myself and in which direction I want to improve. With the help of my mentor, I got acquainted with technologies that weren’t familiar to me before, which I really liked because it opens up an opportunity for new knowledge and professional development. I had a chance to see in practice that it is really important to well define and communicate the task and that in a large and complex system only a team together can solve problems. Technical training is held as a part of the program, which helped me a lot in the design of software solutions. At the moment, I am working on a project at the faculty in which I use the technologies I have mastered in the company, which has made my semester a lot easier. ” - Stefan pointed out his experience.

Petar Balaša

Petar is a 2nd-year student at the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad. He decided for the Schneider Electric scholarship program to learn practical skills from the leaders in the field of energetics and to make his first steps in the career before his graduation.

“I like the scholarship program. Although I don’t have to come to the company every day, I am in contact with my mentor who is also doing his best to provide me additional literature for my faculty. It is also commendable that students at the beginning of their studies are given the opportunity to further their professional development, with a focus on university obligations. I think I will be able to learn a lot and I would like to one day be part of a great Schneider Electric team that does a really important and socially responsible job." - said Petar.
