The people that make HES

After finishing her Civil Engineering MSc, Elisa joined HMC as a Marine Engineer, where she worked for several Installation and Decommissioning projects for 5 years. During her last year at HMC she worked at the Simulation Centre, where she could be part of innovative and out of the box offshore projects. After that she joined a maritime simulation software company where she lead the product team.
At HES, Elisa is working on floating wind, leading the technical developments and looking for commercial opportunities.
In her free time, she likes to cycle, practice yoga, read and spend time with family and friends.

Farkas did his BSc in Mechanical Engineering in Hungary, then came to the Netherlands for his Masters. After graduating cum laude from his MSc Marine Technology in Delft, Farkas started Heerema Engineering Solutions. In his work, he tackles problems in both abstract and practical ways to gain in-depth insight into the subject and find feasible solutions to the problem. His main focus at HES is doing marine engineering tasks within the floating wind development team. In addition, he also participates in projects that involve CFD, motion analysis, and internal development works.

In his free time Farkas plays Ultimate Frisbee at a high level. He likes cooking, go on bike rides, and recently picked up Kitesurfing.

Joep joined HES as a working student in 2019 and stayed for almost 2 years while pursuing his MSc degree in Marine Technology, specializing in Ship & Offshore Structures. He worked on smart solutions for wind installation and automation of hydrodynamic analysis. 
He graduated on the initial load assessment of semi-submersible floating offshore wind turbines under wind/wave misalignment with a major turbine supplier. After his graduation, he returned to HES to strengthen the floating wind development team. Among other topics, he focusses on floating wind developments for internal and external projects.  
In his free time, he enjoys backpacking and can be found around Delft road cycling or playing basketball.

With 12 years of engineering experience in the oil and gas industry, Kathryn has experience in every phase of a project, from concept studies to design, interface engineering, integration testing, offshore installation analysis, pre-commissioning, and decommissioning. Her main area of expertise is the design and installation of subsea pipelines. She also has a background in mathematics and a master's degree in space science. In 2023, Kathryn joined HES and has been working on the Metis logistics tool. She approaches challenges systematically, ensuring technical accuracy, and enjoys working in a team. In her spare time, she likes to spend time with her family, go running and cycling, and occasionally take part in triathlons.

Lucas is a Master’s student in Offshore and Dredging Engineering at TU Delft, where he builds on a solid foundation of Mechanical Engineering. Joining Heerema Engineering Solutions in 2024 as a Working Student Engineer, Lucas is passionate about solving engineering challenges from both practical and theoretical perspectives. His keen interest in offshore wind energy and the energy transition aligns with his dedication to finding innovative, sustainable solutions. Outside work and study, Lucas enjoys playing the piano and guitar, performing with his band, and spending time with friends and family.

After finishing his BSc in Mechanical Engineering in India, Sanjeet came to the Netherlands to pursue an MSc in Aerospace Engineering. After graduation, he joined a simulation software company where he worked with numerical models for ship performance and hydrodynamics. He also helped with the development of a digital twin platform and CFD simulations.

Within HES, he is a part of the data engineering and automation team and will be helping with the development and preparation of Metis simulations.

In his free time, he enjoys cooking, photography, rowing, hiking, and occasionally mountain climbing.

Sarah holds a dual bachelor degree in History and Politics, as well as master degrees in International Politics and Corporate Communication. She joined the Heerema Group in 2019, working for Heerema Marine Contractors in Sustainability and Communication roles. After deciding that it was time to try something new, Sarah moved to HES in 2023 and joined the Commercial team. 

Her responsibilities include business development activities, tender management, proposal writing, client relationship management, and marketing and communication. 

When Sarah's out of the office, she is spending time with her family, enjoying the outdoors, and working on various crafty projects that keep her busy.
