Three TU/e students strengthen vb&t Project Management and vb&t Fire Safety

Earlier this year we already wrote about the fruitful collaboration between vb&t Group, CHEOPS and the student society SERVICE. At vb&t, we strive for close collaboration and strengthening ties with local educational institutions such as TU/e. And now, we are proud to introduce three promising students from the Eindhoven University of Technology, who are currently working as junior project managers or junior consultants within two of our business units, vb&t Project Management and vb&t Fire Safety.

Ruud Onderdijk

“My name is Ruud Onderdijk and I am currently undertaking my Master's degree at Eindhoven University of Technology, where I am specialising in Construction Management Engineering & Urban System Real Estate. My passion lies in project development and project management, and I am driven to contribute to the realisation of inspiring projects within my local area. I find great satisfaction in collaborating with diverse stakeholders and finding innovative solutions to the challenges that arise in construction projects.”

Lars van Kleef

“My name is Lars van Kleef, I am 23 years old, and I recently obtained my Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Urbanism and Building Science from Eindhoven University of Technology. I am preparing for the Master's degree in Architecture, Building and Planning, focusing on Urban Systems and Real Estate. Within the field of architecture, I have diverse interests, such as mobility, sustainability, large-scale project development, urban planning, and the technical aspects of buildings. My passion primarily lies with innovation and technology. At vb&t, I hope to be able to apply my theoretical knowledge in practice and further discover where my heart lies. In the future, I would like to contribute my experience to construction projects that are not only technically progressive but also make a positive contribution to society and our planet.”

Max van de Casteel

“My name is Max van de Casteel and I am studying at Eindhoven University of Technology, where I am undertaking a Master’s degree in Urban Systems and Real Estate. My interests lie in project management and project development within the built environment. I find it fascinating to realise projects within the stipulated budget and timeframe, and to find solutions for the complex challenges these projects bring. My goal is to obtain my Master’s degree and simultaneously gain valuable practical experience at vb&t, where I can apply my theoretical knowledge. In the future, I would like to be involved in diverse innovative projects and urban developments that contribute to the growth and improvement of living environments.”

These talented TU/e students not only enrich our team with their skills but also help us build a valuable relationship with the university and the local community. Their fresh insights and academic knowledge foster our innovative approach and enable us to serve our clients even better.
