Yesterday and today we introduced the youth to our passion: bringing ships and buildings to life.
During the STO Experience Days in Zwijndrecht at Loket, students could participate in all kinds of fun and educational activities from different companies and thus get acquainted with working life and the world of technology in an interactive way.
With us they were allowed to wire an electrical circuit. They learned from Ronald Visser, Heidi Heemskerk, Falco Ebelties and Wesley Bakker how to read a technical drawing and how to light the light with only wires and a screwdriver.
As a reward, they were given the real Royal van der Leun screwdriver – because let's face it, it comes in handy often enough and guarantees beautiful work!
We wish all students a successful school period and hope to see them back in the field later, tinkering with the most beautiful projects!
A good employer sees not only what you can do, but also who you are. At Royal Van der Leun, you have the freedom to organize your workday smartly, take training courses, and still have time left for relaxation.
We believe it’s important that you feel good both mentally and physically. That’s why we offer solid employment conditions along with great extras.
In 1920, Jan Cornelis van der Leun opened his shop at the harbor of Sliedrecht. Radios and electric lighting were still new and remarkable at the time. What began with providing light and sound soon grew into creating solutions for the shipping industry and the emerging dredging sector.
That hands-on, problem-solving mentality is still at the heart of our work today.
Thanks to the staff association, we gathered for a Country & Western BBQ at Royal Van der Leun. Some colleagues even came dressed for the occasion, really getting into the spirit.
