Hans joined us in April and takes us through his job, how he started and his first impressions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>From mechanical engineering to software development<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>\u201cI trained as a mechanical engineer, gaining software experience through internships and my studies. At CSi, I could start without any further studies, as I can continue learning on the job. CSi was particularly interested in my mechanical engineering background because it aligns with what we do. Currently, I\u2019m working on PLC programming. This has more in common with mechanical engineering, making it an easy transition and a good starting point. I\u2019m also involved in creating software specifications and I\u2019m part of a standardisation project. Later on I\u2019ll have the opportunity to grow into PC and robot programming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>CSi gave me the opportunity<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>\u201cI was actually in talks with another company when CSi came along. The other company offered me a position as a mechanical engineer, since it\u2019s difficult to be valued without a software degree. However, this wasn\u2019t an issue for CSi, and they gave me the opportunity to develop my skills in software development. That\u2019s why I chose CSi. I\u2019m also really drawn to the fact that I get to travel for work, visiting clients worldwide to help with commissioning.<\/p>\n<p>Before accepting the job, I hadn\u2019t really looked into the secondary employment benefits. So, it was a pleasant surprise to realise that there are quite a few perks, such as the vitality budget. Now, I go to the gym three times a week, because I pay the cost of my gym membership with that budget.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Enthusiastic, supportive, and friendly colleagues<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>\u201cMy first impression is very positive! The company is larger than my previous one, but you don\u2019t notice that in the atmosphere at all. The people here are great, collegial and flexible. It\u2019s nice to work with colleagues who are enthusiastic about their work. Everyone is open to lending a hand, and it\u2019s easy to approach colleagues. Plus, the fact that our clients are based all over the world is exciting, especially considering the travel opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve also heard from many colleagues that they\u2019ve moved into different roles within CSi, so there\u2019s the possibility of changing positions if you wish. That\u2019s a reassuring prospect for the future. Additionally, there are often small events outside of work, like an ice cream treat or something bigger like a coffee cart get-together or company BBQ. I\u2019m very happy to have started here and I\u2019m curious what my future at CSi brings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Job opportunities like Hans\u2019s are available. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lotte-van-gastel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lotte van Gastel<\/a> can tell you all about them or check them out via <a href=\"https:\/\/career.csiportal.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">career.csiportal.com<\/a>.<br \/>\nMaybe the vacancy for <a href=\"https:\/\/career.csiportal.com\/job-opening\/327724-software-development-engineer-robotics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Software development engineer<\/a> (robotics) is for you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hans Verstraeten\u2019s journey into software development We spoke with Hans Verstraeten, Software Development Engineer at CSi.
