A familiar face at WTC Schiphol Airport

Almost twenty years at Schiphol

Tanja came to the Netherlands from Estonia to build a new life here. She learned Dutch and started working at Schiphol in 2006.

What began in the early cleaning team grew into a wonderful career. Tanja became a supervisor, earned various diplomas, started working as a mobile site manager, and later also took on a role as a trainer for new colleagues.

A development in which her dedication and enthusiasm clearly shine through. Tanja herself likes to keep it simple: “I enjoy it!”

A place that feels like home

By now, Tanja knows WTC Schiphol Airport better than anyone. She knows the companies and the people in the building, and many of them know her. It is precisely that human contact that is one of the main reasons why she still feels at home there after all these years.

Tanja describes her bond with the building in three words: “WTC is mine.”

We at 1nergiek love to see that connection. Our cleaning colleagues are much more than just the people who make sure the environment is clean. They are part of the place where they work, know the people, and contribute every day to a pleasant environment.

Keep growing and stay yourself

Tanja’s story is also about perseverance and continuing to develop yourself. From building a new life in the Netherlands to advancing in her work, she kept following her own path.

Her advice to new colleagues therefore says a lot about her:

“You have to stay true to yourself. That’s the strongest thing you have.”

A beautiful message from a cleaning colleague of whom we at 1nergiek are proud.

Tanja, how wonderful that your story has been given this beautiful place during the anniversary of WTC Schiphol Airport. Here’s to many more wonderful years!
