ZeeBoer and our 141 want to accelerate. Will you build with us?

In the next ten years, almost a million new homes will be built and sustainability will play an increasingly important role. With this enormous social challenge, we need to build faster and smarter. Digitization makes construction processes run more smoothly, with fewer people. We are good at that.

The makers of Utopis

We take the time to immerse ourselves in our client and his range. We do this by working together. We share our ideas and mistakes are allowed here. We learn and we get better. If something doesn’t exist yet, we create it: one learns by doing. We come up with new solutions or learn new skills if necessary. The combination of construction knowledge, involvement, marketing and ICT makes us goal-oriented, flexible and effective. We know what we have in common. At Utopis and ZeeBoer we build together.

Open application

At the moment, we don’t have any open positions. But that doesn’t mean we’re standing still — or that you should be.

You get a lot of freedom here, I can put my own ideas and input here..

Jeroen Houdé

Jeroen works at ZeeBoer as a front-end developer. You can read his story below.

Jeroen was working as a warehouse employee in 2005 when he was asked if he knew anyone who wanted to work as a front-end developer at ZeeBoer. With a background in middle automation, that seemed interesting to him, so he applied and was hired. This was quite a big step. In the beginning he had to learn a lot and at ZeeBoer he was given plenty of room for this.

The way of working at ZeeBoer really appeals to Jeroen: “You get a lot of freedom here. Together with the project leaders, we discuss every two weeks what needs to be done and what the result should be. Then I can get to work. I get a lot of freedom. , I can put my ideas and own input into it. In between, we regularly visit each other to discuss progress and make adjustments.”

He made the appearance for at least 90% of the 120 customers. Besides design, he also picks up on other things. “If you have ideas about your career, this will be discussed openly. For example, training and courses can be followed if necessary.”

Jeroen thinks the atmosphere at ZeeBoer is very good, he always enjoys going to work. “There is a lot of mutual interest in each other. For example, we always inform about each other’s weekends. I myself like to make a trip on the Veluwe on my racing bike. At noon we have lunch together and Friday is French fries day with us.”

We can think along because we employ structural engineers.

Peter Veldhuizen

Since 2017 Peter is the owner of ZeeBoer. You can read below how he ended up at ZeeBoer.

“Until 2014 I worked for one of our clients. Here I was responsible for managing product information and website. ZeeBoer provided our specification texts. When we were ready for a new website in 2005-2006, Utopis was introduced. One of my first achievements was entering all product information in Utopis. That was great: all product information in one database.”

Peter has a background in data and information systems: “After hotel school, I started studying business management in Utrecht, where I chose information systems as a study variant. I developed websites at an early age and set up databases for more efficient use of product information.”

Peter was also involved in the development of Utopis PIM on behalf of the client. He developed various ideas together with Reindert de Boer, Maarten Hopman and Jeroen Jongebloed. Ideas that make Utopia software that has been developed for and by the construction manufacturer.

“In 2014 Reindert de Boer asked why I didn’t work at ZeeBoer yet and I made the switch. I have never regretted this. The best thing about ZeeBoer is that we can think along with manufacturers because we employ structural engineers,” says Peter.

When Reindert and Margreet indicated in 2016 that they wanted to stop, I decided to take over the company. Colleague Antoon Siebert has been co-owner since 2018. “I’m still very happy with this as well.”

FAQ's.

What is it like to work with the Dutch?

Dutch people tend to be informal and direct in their interactions, so you will easily hear their opinions. This also means that a Dutch person will stick to their word, no hidden agenda’s. Furthermore, communication at ZeeBoer is direct and accessible; you can easily approach both Peter and your colleagues with your questions or opinions. Do keep in mind that this works both ways: sharing your own opinion proactively is highly valued.

Do I have to speak Dutch?

No, that’s not strictly necessary. While we all speak English well, we are a close-knit team, and Dutch tends to be the primary language used during lunch or informal conversations. So, if you’re willing to learn Dutch, with the help of Duolingo and your colleagues, that would be a plus.

What kind of assignments do you do?

Our customers use our standard functionality, such as the JSON WebAPI, PDF generator and UP wizard. In addition, we build advice tools that are more customized. At the moment we are converting Utopis® to .NETcore.

What techniques do you work with?

The PIM system we developed, Utopis, is built on .NET and .NET Core. It incorporates technologies such as Entity Framework, Blazor Server/WASM, CSS, and HTML5. We make an effort to understand what our colleagues are working on, covering both frontend and backend development, and, as part of our compact team, you’ll soon find yourself contributing ideas regarding client benefits and the commercial viability of our tools.

What makes working at ZeeBoer fun?

We have a wide variety of clients; the construction sector is a dynamic industry currently undergoing rapid digitalization, and we believe the atmosphere within our team is excellent. At ZeeBoer, you become part of a company that actively contributes to the digitalization agenda of the Dutch construction sector.

Do I have to bring my own sandwich?

In the afternoon, we set the table for an extensive group lunch. There’s no need to bring your own bread, though you are welcome to do so. Also, keep in mind that we have a ‘stroopwafel moment,’ and that cookies, soup, and plenty of drinks are always available.

Is hybrid working an option?

Yes that is possible. We also provide good equipment at home.

Do you have outings?

Sure. We regularly go out to eat or barbecue together. Also nice: in 2021 we visited Girona and Barcelona together and we had a similar trip to the Isle of Texel in 2018.

How big is your team?

At the moment, we are a team of one woman and six men. In addition, we have informal contact with Redon Bouw, a construction company located on the ground floor, while we are upstairs.

Do I have to take tests?

No, we do not conduct an assessment test or other exam. Let’s just have a good chat with each other. 🙂

What is the application procedure?

Just come for coffee first or meet Peter Veldhuizen online. We will explore together whether ZeeBoer is the right team for you. The atmosphere and our coffee are good, so you just have to come and taste it.

How can you be reached?

You can get to ZeeBoer’s easy: we are located in Vaassen, just above Apeldoorn, ideally accessible from the A50, A1 and A28. For an introduction you can send an app, make a (digital) appointment, send an email to info@zeeboer.nl or call (085) 74 33 333.
