New Years Event 2018

Veröffentlicht am

Every Year Middle Point welcomes all their employees to celebrate the beginning of a new year. This traditional event took place at La Grande Salle of the Zalmhuis in Rotterdam.

The location with a splendid view on the ‘Brienenoord’ bridge, The river ‘De Maas’ with some renowned shipyards within sight. These surroundings gave it the right maritime touch. For the 2nd year in a row it has been a very successful event at this particular location.

With over 100 people attending we gathered a group of more than 30 different nationalities accompanied with partners and children. When everyone was in Maarten van Haren, our CEO, welcomed everyone and spoke about the past year and the loss of our beloved Patrick Maasdam. He took a moment to say thanks to everyone involved being part of the Middle Point success. He had a personal note for every Middle Point internal employee involved. During the afternoon there was time to catch up, meet other colleagues working for Middle Point, eat, drink and dance on the beats.

As a special service, we provided professional nanny’s for the young guests. The Nanny’s hosted a special creative program. A play corner for the youngest ones where they could entertain themselves. There was room for arts and crafts, games, dollhouses and wooden trains. Also table fuss ball, shovel board, chess or comic books were available. Next to this, the nanny’s brought a toast with children’s champagne. And the children decorated their own cake, and ate it too!

What you may not see yet, but our consultants already do...

At Middle Point, our consultants do not just look at maritime engineering roles. They look at people. They want to know where you are now, what kind of work suits you, how you work best, and where you may want to be a few years from now. That matters, because a good next step is not always obvious when you are in the middle of your current job and daily routine.

What engineers really say about working with Middle Point

Veröffentlicht am

It rarely starts with a clear plan. For most engineers, there is no specific moment when they decide to work abroad. No fixed goal to move to the Netherlands or Germany. The idea develops over time, somewhere between projects, conversations, and a growing curiosity about what else might be out there. At that point, Middle Point often comes into view. Not as a destination, but as a new perspective. And this is why.

What should be clear before working in another country?

Working in another country sounds exciting. And often, it is. A strong project, a different setting, maybe a role that suits you better than the one you have now. From a distance, it can look like a fairly simple next step. And sometimes it is. But usually, there is a bit more to it than the role alone. For most engineers, the real question is whether the whole thing fits once normal life begins. The work itself, the team, the language people actually use, the travel, the weekly rhythm. That is usually the point where an idea starts to feel either right or not quite right.
