You'll work for installation companies and contractors we have visited on site ourselves, so we know what things are like there.

What training do you need?

Most clients ask for a relevant MBO level 2 or 3 qualification. If you don't have the papers but do have years of experience, that's often enough to start.

  • Basic VCA: mandatory on almost every construction site, we pay for the course
  • NEN 3140 or NEN 1010: for electrical work
  • Category B driving licence: needed to get to the project
