"Different challenge in each project"
 

Jakim Herrebout

“Each project holds a different challenge. It is a great place to work, and in the case of Vlissingen especially for trainees to come on board after finishing school and go through vocational training while working at the same time. If you want, you can work yourself up to wherever you want to be. It is all possible here. In my case, even though I was the one asking for further education, HFG fully supported me and paid most of my studies.” Read more »

"Proud of immense constructions"

Add a really good atmosphere, with enough time to chat and plenty of time to work. What more could I ask for?”  Read more »

"Focussed on getting things done"

It’s also a family business with short lines of communication, so quick decisions can be taken and personal relationships are essential to our success. That’s why I also enjoy spending a lot of time in the UK, Norway and Denmark, and sometimes traveling to Houston, Angola or Kazakhstan, to personally interface with everyone on our global team.”  Read more »
