Deerns international Share Menu Search Yvonne Thijs Team Leader “The mix of projects ensures diversity in my work” Next one Yvonne Thijs - team leader Home Career Work at Yvonne Thijs After having worked for more than ten years as a building physics consultant, mainly in residential construction, Yvonne Thijs switched to Deerns in 2016 to broaden her field of work. Successfully. She now not only works for a wide range of clients, but Yvonne also grew into the position of team leader. Asked about how the promotion to team leader has changed her job, Yvonne says: "Some tasks have been added. I am now responsible for the financial administration and the planning of the entire team. And I conduct performance reviews. Your agenda is a bit fuller, but in the end you always manage to get your work done. That gives a good feeling." Yvonne switched to Deerns four years ago because, in her own words, she was ready for "broadening and a new challenge". "At the consultancy where I worked before Deerns, I mainly did a lot of housing projects, but now my work is much more a mix of all kinds of different projects. From offices and hospitals to hotels and other utility buildings. Including closer cooperation with installation technology. That mix provides much more diversity in my work. I really found the broadening I was looking for here." In ge­sprek met de ge­brui­ker Wat is voor haar het gro­te ver­schil tus­sen wo­ning­bouw­pro­jec­ten en uti­li­teits­bouw? "Wo­ning­bouw is erg ge­bon­den aan re­gels en voor­schrif­ten. Bij uti­li­teits­bouw werkt het an­ders, daar ga je veel meer in ge­sprek met de ge­brui­ker van het ge­bouw. Wat zijn hun ver­wach­tin­gen en hoe gaan we dat re­a­li­se­ren? Je bent echt be­zig met het ma­ken van een ge­bouw waar­in het pret­tig is om te ver­blij­ven. Dat is ook wat me al­tijd heeft aan­ge­trok­ken in bouw­fy­si­ca en dit vak." Over wat Yvon­ne aan­trekt in het wer­ken bij Deerns is ze dui­de­lijk: "De di­ver­si­teit aan ken­nis in de or­ga­ni­sa­tie. Wel­ke in­for­ma­tie je ook zoekt, er al­tijd wel ie­mand te vin­den die er­gens spe­ci­a­list in is." En wat ook pret­tig is: bij Deerns kies je er zelf voor of je zo'n spe­ci­a­list wordt of lie­ver wat bre­der ge­o­ri­ën­teerd blijft, stelt Yvon­ne. "Deerns is wat dat be­treft veel­zij­dig, jij be­paalt wat je wilt doen." About Yvonne Team Leader Education: Building Physics TU Eindhoven At Deerns since: 2016 Knowing more?
