Working in the outdoors and with technology

At Overbeek Bomen, we always strive for the best, both for our customers and for our staff. As a family business, we are driven to achieve the best results together. Ask our colleagues and they’ll tell you that they chose to work at our tree nursery because of the fresh air, working with machinery, the variety of tasks and the great team. Working at Overbeek Bomen means working in a forward-thinking company that embraces innovative solutions to improve quality, sustainability, job satisfaction and ease of work.

Working and learning, what can you expect?

Are you new to the horticultural sector, but does a varied job in the open air appeal to you? Many of our colleagues started with us through work-based learning programmes. Many of them followed the BBL course in Cultivation and Technology, specialising in Tree Nursery Management. This course is delivered by Yuverta at the practical training site at Van de Berk in Sint-Oedenrode. During the work-based learning programme, you’ll work at our tree nursery as normal, and we’ll teach you the ins and outs of the trade. At the same time, you’ll learn all the necessary information about soil, cultivation and technology at school.

If you’re interested in the training programme, please feel free to spend a day with us at our tree nursery so you can get a feel for what we do. Our colleagues Stan and Hein will also be on hand to answer any questions you may have about the training programme.

Machinework
in practice

At Overbeek Bomen, the work has long since ceased to be solely about manual labour. Marijn’s story shows just how varied and technical the work at the nursery is.

He went from being a Saturday worker to becoming the team’s machinery expert. He was responsible for the machinery and for supervising his colleagues during planting, but always kept his feet firmly on the ground.
