“From intern to Lead Engineer”
I am very proud to be the living proof that “everything is possible” at Saltwater. In January 2011 I joined Saltwater Engineering as an intern and soon became Project Engineer. Now I have been working as Lead Engineer for 4 years.
As Lead Engineer I am the link between the client and our organization. I translate client demands into Saltwater operations and I make sure we deliver on time. A challenging and variable job that gives me lots of energy. Energy I like to spend on my family.
The Senior CAD Engineer will also be coaching our Junior Engineers in the team. A role that gives you energy. I am curious about your experiences and what attracts you to this function.

“Silent people are heard at Saltwater”
In 12 years’ time I have grown from Junior Engineer to Project Engineer. And since mid-2023 I have been promoted to Lead Engineer. I get energy from the interaction with clients that often want their engineering work completed at short notice. This makes my work dynamic and interesting.
Our motto is “anything is possible” and this is our collective ambition. Despite the regular tight deadlines, the office atmosphere is quite relaxed so I have enough energy left for my family.
I look forward to working with our new Senior CAD Engineer on further growth and creating new long-term client relationships. What experience do you have and what values can you add to Saltwater?
