YOUNG PROFESSIONALS PROGRAM

Set your own course and success! Our Young Professionals program has three pillars: getting to know yourself better, developing your leadership skills and getting to know HES International in all its facets. Discover answers to questions such as: what are my strengths and where should I develop further? How do I manage a team? How do I ensure more mutual understanding? In addition, the internal company wide connection is important. We think it’s important that the participants get to know each other and HES International better. Especially in the development towards a unified HES, it is important that these people get to know the various HES companies, each other and in order to work well together, beyond the boundaries of their own location.

'As a 17-year-old I started at EMO as an intern operational employee Port Operations, at level 2. I liked all aspects so much that I also got the opportunity to reach level 3 and 4. I recently joined our internal fire department. It gives me a safe feeling to be able to offer help in emergency situations. My future? I want to eventually work on that beautiful loading bridge!'

Tessa van de Beek

Operator

I worked as a contract manager at the HES Hartel Tank Terminal for four years, recently I became a business development analyst at OBA-IGMA. I think it is important that I continuously develop myself on both a personal and professional level. That is why it is very great to get the opportunity to follow the Young Professionals program in addition to my new position. My new role requires other skills, such as being able to present yourself well, this specific aspect is extensively addressed in the program. Furthermore, I am sure that the ideas that are exchanged between the other young managers within HES are very valuable. We learn a lot from each other and know how get in touch after the program!'

Rutger Klevringa

Business Development Analyst

'My job as a terminal representative at HES Gdynia Bulk Terminal requires a lot of communication between our terminal and, for example, ships and shipping companies. But I don't have much contact with HES colleagues from terminals in other countries. That's one of the reasons why I'm very happy to have the opportunity to join this program. I hope to become a better professional and at the same time get to know other young managers within HES International. We exchange experiences and learn a lot. Above all, I learn a lot about the HES Group as a whole!'

Terminal Respresentative

'I work at HES Wilhelmshaven Tank Terminal in the oil accounting and customer service department. My main personal goal in this program is to build more self-confidence and develop more so-called "soft leadership skills", that will have a positive impact on my career. It also helps to get to know other colleagues from the terminals and thus have a better overview of what is happening within HES International as a group.'

Oil Accounting & Customer Service

‘As second-year HR students, we think we are really lucky with our internship at HES headquarters. Everyone is very open and approachable, also in departments other than HR. Our opinion is valued and the advice we give gets implemented. Because we are involved in every facet of the HR profession, this internship is more than just an orientation: we also learn where our own interests lie within HR. There is a very nice atmosphere in the office, which makes us feel like part of the team. And that also applies to the terminals that we visited. We wish everyone such a great and educational internship!'
