You will be paid on a weekly basis. Your salary is based on your experience. We can offer candidates a net salary starting from €
2700,- per month up to €3600,- per month based on a 40-hour workweek and your level of experience. In some cases, extra hours can be worked, and the salary will be higher. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee overtime.
Health insurance and accommodation are included.

Payment is based on the following components:

• Cost of Living allowance
• Travel expenses from home country to the Netherlands
• Travel expenses up to 27 kilometers from accommodation to project per day*
• Payment for extra-statutory holidays
• Holiday pay
• Health insurance
• Deduction of housing

Important:
In addition to your salary, you also accrue vacation hours.

You will work in rotations. After working for 10 weeks, it is common to take 1 to 2 weeks of vacation. It is important to know that, in addition to your agreed net salary, you also accrue vacation hours each week. For example, if you work for 10 weeks, you will have accrued approximately 30 hours of vacation time. You can use these hours to take a vacation or rotation.

We arrange accommodation for our colleagues. Currently, the average distance between the accommodation and the project site is 30 kilometers. The accommodation is shared with several people, but everyone always has their own bedroom.

In addition to their weekly net salary, each skilled worker also receives a travel allowance from their accommodation to the project and back. The first 27 km per day is already included in the net salary. All extra kilometers are reimbursed at a rate of € 0.21 per kilometer
. The total weekly salary can therefore be increased by € 1.00 - € 50.00 extra per week.

Our client will provide you with the option to lease a car: a Mitsubishi Space Star (2024), Seat MII (2021) or Hyundai 2025. And for a reduced rate, you can drive to work every day without any worries! You will pay around €65.00 to €70.00 per week and this amount will be deducted from your salary weekly. Just let us know if you are interested and we’ll arrange for you to sign your lease agreement.

And then you’ll receive your car keys and fuel or charging card.

Ask your colleagues to carpool with you for a small contribution. This way, you’ll drive even more affordably!
