    Meet Ionut, one of our top professionals who shows his craftsmanship every day in shipbuilding at Slob. For several months now, he’s been working through Concreeto on impressive projects. A ways with a smile, plenty of experience, and even more motivation. Read the full interview below!

    Meet Ionut 

    My name is Ionut. I’m from Romania and I’ve been working with Concreeto for about six months now! 

    From Romania to the Netherlands 

    I’m from Romania and I’ve been doing this work in the Netherlands since 2018, but since May I’ve been working through Concreeto. I found the company online and got in touch with Thijs. After that, I had a video call with William and Thijs, and it immediately felt right. Everything was clearly explained and well organized! 

    Working on something big 

    Right now, I’m helping build a ship that’s almost 180 meters long. We’re building it step by step. Together with my colleagues, I work on different sections that we later connect. It’s precise work, everything has to fit perfectly: length, height, alignment. But that’s exactly what I like; it makes the job challenging and fun. 

    Keep learning 

    I’ve been doing this work since 2008, and I’m now 42 years old. You learn something new every day. Even after so many years, there’s always room for improvement. I never say I’m a master or the big boss. No, I enjoy my work, I’m motivated and I learn every day. That keeps me sharp. 

    Would I recommend it? Definitely! 

    Everything is well organized: salary, transportation, housing, everything is in order. If there’s something I don’t understand, I can always go to William or other colleagues. They take the time to explain things clearly. I also received a contract where everything is written down transparently. If something is unclear, I discuss it with them and they help me right away. 

    During my vacation, I stayed here with my wife, and we did some nice things. Like a trip to Amsterdam. It was a great time. After that, I went back to work, which I was happy to do. If something ever goes wrong, I talk to Concreeto and we solve it together. 

    Future plans 

    My wife and I hope to have a baby. We have a house in Romania, but for now, I’ll stay here. Maybe one, two, three, or four years. I hope it’s longer because I really like the Netherlands.
