Written by: Erwin Veenstra

As an engineer, you surely know this feeling well: you are good at what you do, but you want more challenge, new projects, a different perspective. That doesn’t mean you have to throw your career path upside down. You can grow within your own field, simply by seizing the right opportunities.

Middle Point helps you do exactly that: finding challenging projects and building further on your expertise. Without leaving behind the strong foundation you already created.

Growing through challenging projects

The maritime industry is exciting and constantly evolving. Companies are looking for engineers who are not only technically strong but also flexible and curious.

Through Middle Point you step directly into leading companies. Think of:

  • high-performance yachts pushing the limits of design and engineering
  • complex offshore constructions with a growing focus on wind energy
  • innovative ship systems where digitalization and automation take the lead

These projects offer the perfect chance to deepen and broaden your knowledge. This way, you keep growing in your field without having to change direction.

Variety and specialization go hand in hand
