Our colleague Joost, who joint Ramboll in 2021 as senior Marine engineer shares his view on Rambøll and Denmark.Waarom Rambøll:
Rambøll is een echt scandinavisch adviesbureau, opgericht door twee Deense ingenieurs met specifieke waarden en ideologieen. Die waarden worden nog steeds actief uitgedragen in de focus op verduurzaming en inclusiviteit en dat is voor mij belangrijk. Door de groei die het bedrijf de afgelopen jaren heeft meegemaakt is het vertegenwoordigd in bijna alle delen van de wereld. Dit geeft veel mogelijkheden en resulteert voor mij persoonlijk in een grote verscheidenheid aan projecten waaraan ik momenteel werk.Waarom Denemarken:
Hoewel Denemarken met de beperkte hoogtemeters en de vele fietsen misschien wel het land is dat het meest op Nederland lijkt, zijn er ook zeker verschillen. Het voelt over het algemeen wat ruimer en relaxter. Kopenhagen is een hele prettige metropool en een mooie stad om te ontdekken. Het is ruim opgezet en ook daarbuiten is er veel ruimte om erop uit te trekken. Dit geldt zowel voor Denemarken, maar ook Zweden en Noorwegen zijn natuurlijk vlakbij. Daarbij is er een fijne balans tussen werk en prive en dat maakt dat ik nu al anderhalf jaar met veel plezier hier woon en werk.Work at the heart of sustainable change
