Position:<\/strong> Artificial Grass Specialist
Working at J&E Sports since:<\/strong> 1993<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do you enjoy most about working at J&E Sports?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Every week brings a new project, which means a lot of variety. The work is always diverse and that also means you meet many different people.<\/p>\n

Which projects stand out to you the most, and why?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

I\u2019ve been fortunate to work on many great projects for J&E Sports. From the Hockey World Cup in Utrecht and The Hague to American football fields in the United States. Through this work I\u2019ve met many well known people, including Johan Cruijff and Carl Lewis, Olympic champion in the 100 and 200 metre sprint and the high jump.<\/p>\n

What makes this job different from others you\u2019ve had?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

I\u2019ve done all kinds of work, but I was already working for J&E Sports in the 1990s. What I enjoy most is that you\u2019re always working with people. That\u2019s something I really value in my job.<\/p>\n

When did you feel truly proud of what you built?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

I\u2019m proud of every field we build together. What I enjoy most is creating a field from start to finish as a team. I\u2019m also proud of developing new tools to make the work as easy as possible. The team\u2019s input plays an important role in that.<\/p>\n

What makes you feel at home here?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

It feels like family to me. I even worked with the grandfathers of some of my current colleagues. And if there\u2019s ever an issue, you always receive support from everyone within J&E Sports.<\/p>\n

Do you have a saying that sums up working at J&E Sports?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

My saying at J&E Sports is: All grass. People here also call me \u201cthe happy one\u201d. I always say: \u201cIf you really commit to it, you can grow fast within this company.\u201d<\/p>\n

Which employment benefits matter most to you?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Time for time is ideal because of the seasonal nature of the work. Some colleagues take long holidays in winter. I\u2019m a real worker myself and I\u2019m not very good at doing nothing. My mindset is simple: I live to work.<\/p>\n

How important are team outings and activities to you?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

I think they\u2019re fantastic, especially in the early days. Back then, even the employees\u2019 children joined in and we went to Disneyland together. That\u2019s a wonderful memory. It\u2019s always very sociable.<\/p>\n

What would you miss most if you didn\u2019t work here anymore?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

I honestly can\u2019t imagine that. I would miss everything. My work is my life.<\/p>\n

What would you say to someone who\u2019s unsure about coming to work here?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Just start and give it a try. I\u2019m convinced you\u2019ll enjoy it. It\u2019s a fun, young and close knit team. The pay is good and if you really go for it, you get plenty of opportunities to grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
