This is what your assignment looks like

You will be part of the international construction team in Hoofddorp the Nederlands and work closely with our calculators, draftsmen and concept developers to ensure that every Basic-Fit that is built is a success. With more than 1570 active clubs, there is a need of renovating, expanding and rebranding the older clubs. This part of our operations requires a dedicated Architectural Engineer.

With your expertise, you will come up with solutions to solve the design and construction problems that we face during the Rebranding of a club. You will make sure the right drawings and work lists are made to ask for prices to our preferred suppliers. You will manage all needed tasks to be performed before starting the rebrand construction. Communicate with all involved stakeholders and making sure all deadlines are met.  You work closely with the contractor to ensure the construction runs as smoothly as possible, mainly from our office in Hoofddorp and when needed you will visit the clubs all over Europe.
