After a few years on other courses, I thought about what I really wanted to do after graduation, and decided that mechanical engineering was right for me. After roughly half the course, I focused on the field of energy and power station technology.

Virtually immediately after my graduation I started working at Grontmij, Carl Bro at that time. I sent a speculative application after having met a girl who was working here and who seemed to have really enjoyable work tasks and was happy. Following two interviews, I was offered a position.

Here at Grontmij, I mainly work in three areas: equipment projects for heating and power station facilities, energy conservation and general inquiries. I also work with solar cells in some projects."
