In this job I was responsible for customer relations, acquisition and I was the link between the couriers and the directors.

DHV Management Consultants
Aug 2002 - Jun 2003Trainee / Assistant Project ManagerMy internship consisted of approximately four days working on my thesis research and one day on the 'Wonen in het Groen' project of DHV and two development studies for health institutions.

Holland Engineering
Aug 2004 - Jun 2010Partner, Project Manager Retail & Safety CoordinatorAfter my studies I joined Holland Engineering. This is a small construction / engineering firm specialised in shop fitting and bulletproof security in the retail and petrol business. The Holland Engineering team is a group of professionals with versatile backgrounds.As Project Manager Retail I lead the projects in the construction and security of offices, petrol stations and shops in the Benelux. Because of the relative small size of the company I have business management and commercial tasks in acquisition, administration, purchasing, marketing and personnel. I am also appointed as safety coordinator.In my job I manage the projects of Holland Engineering from the start up to the completion. At the start of a project I analyse the feasibility with the client, than I am responsible for the quotation. In most projects, Holland Engineering works as the main contractor, which means that in addition to its own staff also subcontractors and suppliers should be controlled well. After the contract award I take care of the work preparation and planning. During the construction phase I control the costs, quality, planning and architectural appearance with the client and architect. After completion of the project I am the contact person for the customer to solve problems arising during operation. Show less

Zijn project zorgt ervoor dat DAF de komende jaren probleemloos én op een duurzame manier vrachtwagens kan blijven produceren. Dit is noodzakelijk in een competitieve wereld waarin de eisen en wensen van opdrachtgevers en overheden continu veranderen. We zijn trots op Robert Arts als ondernemende professional en ambassadeur van onze organisatie. We hopen nog lang samen succesvol projecten te mogen realiseren.“In feite heb ik twee goede werkgevers. Terwijl DAF voor een goede en interessante werkomgeving zorgt, neemt REEF kennisontwikkeling (interne vaardigheidstrainingen en externe vakopleidingen, zoals IMPA-C opleiding) en ontspanning, in de vorm van het jaarlijkse REEFenement, op zich. Gezamenlijk werken we aan het succes van DAF”, aldus Robert.Nieuwbouw- renovatie- en vervangingsprojectenAls bouwkundig projectengineer houdt Robert zich bezig met het realiseren van nieuwbouw-, renovatie- en vervangingsprojecten bij DAF. Hierbij ligt de nadruk op het definiëren van eisen, het maken van ontwerpen, het formuleren en bewaken van de gewenste kwaliteit, het opstellen en bewaken van de budgetten en planningen en het verzorgen van alle noodzakelijke vergunningen. Hij ondersteunt de opdrachtgevers en geeft leiding aan andere projectspecialisten en aannemers."Genomineerd zijn was erg leuk. En nu winnen is natuurlijk helemaal geweldig. Het is super om mee te maken hoe erg je gewaardeerd wordt. Ik wil team bouw en infra, en in het bijzonder Sander Smits, enorm bedanken voor een geweldig jaar waarin ik onder andere een bijzonder REEFenement heb meegemaakt en waarin ik weer veel kennisbijeenkomsten heb bijgewoond. Ik geloof dat 2020 wederom een bijzonder jaar gaat worden bij REEF", aldus Robert Arts. Show less
