Manufacturing Engineer at GKN Fokker Elmo

Meet Alexandre! Alexandre is originally from Spain, but moved to the Netherlands for this role. With a background in Manufacturing Industrial Design in the automotive industry, he has now found his place as a Manufacturing Engineer in the aviation industry.

Moving to another country is a big step, but fortunately he wasn't alone:

“WFS PRO helped me find the job and understand the position. In the first few months, they also helped me with practical matters, such as applying for health insurance and opening a bank account. They supported me with my move. When I arrived here, the accommodation had already been arranged.”

The culture at GKN Fokker also had a major impact on his integration. Many expats work at GKN Fokker, which allowed him to share his experiences with like-minded people:

“I think the people here are great. People from different countries and cultures work together. Most of us are actually in the same situation: you arrive in a new country, surrounded by new people. That makes it easy to find others who are dealing with the same things. I quickly bonded with some of them, precisely because of those shared experiences.”
