"Why HES?"

Some words from your future colleagues

Arthaud Adriaenssens
Arthaud Adriaenssens

Structural Engineer

"The ability to work on a wide variety of projects at HES makes the work super motivating. The small, yet experienced team means that the work you do adds value immediately. At HES you have the creative freedom to choose how to tackle each problem yourself. As a young professional it’s great to get the ability to learn from colleagues and develop your own skills, this lets you grow not only as an individual but also lets you grow alongside the company."

Product Lead Floating Wind

“HES to me means innovation, quality and passion. Working with a can-do mentality in such an inspiring market as offshore wind, allows engineers to be creative and push the existing limits. We are developing new installation methodologies in the floating wind market, where many questions are yet to be answered. We are confident that we can support third parties with our experience in floating wind. Our ambition is to become knowledge frontrunners in that field, and this can only be done by ensuring that everybody in the team is heard and is given opportunities to grow. Next to that, the different social activities which we organize make HES a place where you can excel while you still have a lot of fun.”

Development Lead

"The true start-up mentality of HES was one of the key drivers for me to join HES. HES is young, energetic, agile, externally focused, and very eager to learn. We work with different external parties on the frontline of new developments in the wind industry. Although we are a small company, we have years of experience in-house as almost all employees have worked offshore or on offshore projects. This creates a unique environment I can recommend to anyone."
