I always had an inquisitive mind. Before I was officially made field engineer, I was allowed to shadow experienced colleague Franky on site during my student days. For the real work. I saw things I had never even heard of. So impressive! Enthralled as I was, I returned year after year to give my insatiable curiosity every chance. And look at me now!

Vacancies in the spotlight
Entrepreneurship and ambition
Callens saw the light of day in 1966 as a courageous one-man business Willy Callens set up. He focused his workmanship on the private market, but switched up a gear to industry a few years later. Under the wings of his daughter Annick Callens and co-CEO Windy Moerman, Callens grew into a solid group of companies and an established name in Belgium and beyond.
Annick and Windy watch over the core values that turned Callens into the benchmark it has become: reliability, solution-mindedness and responsibility. What’s more, the CEOs have a pioneering spirit when it comes to technology and their staff. Here, authenticity, open communication and a healthy dose of courage have become a realised objective.

How do I prepare for my visit to the Callens Group?
There is quite a lot to tell and learn about the Callens Group. Make sure to take a look at the various websites to soak up the atmosphere of each company and to discover what we stand for and what our ambitions are. Something not quite clear? Then you can ask your specific questions during your interview.
We put an awful lot of energy into our job descriptions to make them as comprehensive and clear as possible. Read them carefully so that you get a clear picture of your future job. And don’t hesitate to ask questions during your interview. We bring in a future colleague early on so that he or she can answer any specific questions you may have. We are always honest about expectations and count on it that you too communicate with us in a transparent manner.
Is there an office dog?
No, but we do have other hairy pets: bees. When you visit our head offices in Waregem, you will spot two bee hives on the green as you drive up. This is how we do our bit for diversity while we end up with wonderful honey every year in return.
How does the Callens Group strengthen the bond with its staff?
Our place of work invites people to connect with one another: having lunch together, relaxing, practising a sport, meeting and brainstorming at inspiring locations together…
In addition, we insist on transparent communication. We communicate digitally about our ambitions, current projects, campaigns… with the entire group. Everyone is always kept up to date with the latest news.
We also invite you to our info meetings, the boss’s round, the staff party, team-building activities, sports tournaments, you name it.
Now and again, we go all out. As in the case of the Hottest Week. We launched seemingly impossible challenges we completed together. And we collected € 20,000 for our charity.
What does a working day at the Callens Group look like?
That is intrinsically connected to the role you want to play here. Are you on site day after day? Then you’ll probably start your week with a chat in the warehouse on Monday mornings while you’re loading up your materials and a cup of coffee at home the for the rest of the week before you travel to the site directly.
Does your job require a desk with a laptop? In that scenario, you’ll be working flexitime and your day will start with a cheerful good morning at reception and from the rest of your colleagues. That’s if you’re not working from home or have to get up at the crack of dawn to check on a site you’re in charge of.
During your interview we’ll further elaborate on your daily schedule. Curious as to how it all works in practice? In that case, you would be more than welcome to come and work with your colleagues for a day!
