International mobility in South Africa
With South Africa being our Country of the month, among the 9,500 employees present we are taking this opportunity to get to know one of them. Find out how Sven van de Putte, from the Netherlands, enjoys working in this adventure capital of the world.
Sven joined former Mittal Steel as a Continuous Improvement (CI) Analyst in 2003, a perfect position for him since it was both project-based and close to operations. While based in the Rotterdam office, the project work and Knowledge Management Programmes gradually caused Sven to spend up to 70% of his time abroad, mostly in Galati and Katowice. He believed that he could achieve much more if he were to spend more time at a specific location and he was keen to put his advisory experience into practice, so for February 2007 a transfer to South Africa was arranged.
Sven is most grateful for the tremendous care and support from his colleagues at Vanderbijlpark and enjoys the welcoming and generous attitude of the local people and the friendly atmosphere. There is no doubt that Sven considers such an international assignment a wonderful experience worth repeating. He clearly wouldn’t turn down the next attractive opportunity and to be at the heart of ‘transforming tomorrow’.
