Meet Thijs Lubberman, VDL ETG Technology & Development B.V. Management Trainee (since 2022) who spend the last 7 months in VDL ETG Singapore.
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦?
I worked on improving the predictability of out cleanrooms’ output, which involved designing and standardizing the tools and processes that our programs use. Integrating supply chain, capacity & customer demand. There were a lot of different stakeholders involved, which made it that I was able to experience many aspects of VDL ETG Singapore. During this assignment, I got to experience change management firsthand, which is definitely something I will take with me in the next steps of my career.

After having worked in Almelo and Eindhoven, moving to a metropolitan place like Singapore was obviously a culture shock and a lifestyle adjustment. However, you feel in VDL ETG Singapore too, that it is part of the VDL family, and I integrated very quickly into the office culture. Singapore itself is a great base as it is the ideal hub for exploring South-East Asia and has got all of the best Asian food.
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘫𝘴?
I will first explore Vietnam the coming weeks and then return back to home to Tubbergen, where I’ll start my next assignment at VDL Enabling Technologies Group (ETG) Almelo in project management.
Thank you for your valuable contributions & good luck with your next assignment, Thijs!
