Employee Spotlight

My name is Elles Renting, I am 22 years old and I live in beautiful Dalen.

I have completed a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering Project Management. I grew up in the HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling) world and have never wanted anything other than to work on HDD projects.

Currently, I work at De Romein in the HDD department. I am responsible for planning, project coordination, and final documentation of our HDD projects.

We asked Elles:

What makes your job so enjoyable?

“No two days are the same; every day I face new challenges alongside my colleagues. Achieving a great final result with my team truly makes my day.”

Why did you choose De Romein?

“When I started at De Romein, I was still out in the field with the guys; this was already 3 years ago. The HDD department had just been established, and we began with 2 rigs (30-ton rigs); we now have a fleet of machines that includes 100-ton rigs. There is a strong ambition to grow and develop. We regularly embark on new, challenging projects. This makes my job incredibly enjoyable.”

What’s it like to work as a woman in a male-dominated field?

“I get asked this question quite often. The team I currently work with is fantastic, and as a woman, I feel completely at home here. If I can, I prefer to be in the field with the guys.”

What would you say to our future colleagues?

“Even though we are a large company that is still growing, De Romein always feels like one big family business. We support each other, and everyone has the space to develop themselves. We have young and extensive equipment to execute our challenging projects together. It’s a fantastic workplace!”
