The challenge is to work better and smarter than the competition.
From 2010 to 2014: HTS Autotechniek in Arnhem (now known as Automotive Engineering).
In 2014, I started at Nooteboom as an Order Engineer, where I was responsible for processing Multi and MPL orders. In this department, all drawing packages are compiled, including all necessary information such as homologation drawings and instruction manuals. The drawing packages are created per order, incorporating and detailing any customer-specific options.
After three years, I transitioned to the New Product Development (NPD) department. Here, completely new trailers are designed to meet the latest market demands. The projects range from cost-saving measures and range expansions to structural improvements, specification upgrades, and the development of an entirely new vehicle series. I am part of a project team and fulfill various roles, working on both concept vehicle designs and detailed designs.
In the past two years, I have also served as the point of contact for specific projects within the organization, which involved more organizational tasks. Additionally, I mentor students and enjoy inspiring young people to take an interest in engineering.
After five years at Nooteboom, I left for a smaller company for one year. However, this did not suit me well, so I returned to Nooteboom after a year.
