Operational Buyer at BEGE
Thijs van Drongelen was immediately drawn to the combination of technology, innovation, and the informal work atmosphere at BEGE. During the first interview, he felt an instant connection. The tour confirmed this: the positive energy and the sense of commitment everyone showed made it clear that he would fit in here.
Accessible from day one
What stood out most to Thijs during his first few weeks was how approachable and helpful everyone is. Colleagues really take the time to walk you through the processes and answer questions. There’s no barrier to asking questions—just a team that’s happy to bring you on board.
Smooth deliveries, satisfied customers
As an operational buyer, Thijs ensures that products and materials arrive on time and that everything in the supply chain runs smoothly. Colleagues and customers can count on good quality and reliable deliveries. No two days are exactly the same, and he gets plenty of opportunities to do and learn new things.
Responsibility that motivates
What pleasantly surprised Thijs was how much responsibility and trust he was given early on. That’s motivating and gives room to develop quickly. He also felt like part of the team sooner than expected. That combination of trust, freedom, and camaraderie makes him look forward to coming to work.
Building knowledge, building bridges
Thijs wants to further deepen his role as an operational buyer and continue to build his knowledge and experience. But he also looks forward to collaborating with various departments and suppliers. By establishing and maintaining those connections, he wants to make a real contribution to a smooth and efficient procurement process within BEGE.
“Working with colleagues is very enjoyable. There’s an open atmosphere where everyone is willing to help one another.”
