Location: Haaften | 32 - 40 hours | Technical advising, work preparation and supervision of tower cranes and construction hoists

How do you safely assemble a tower crane at a complex construction site? And what is required to position a tower crane correctly? You translate technical challenges into actionable plans and supervise assembly and disassembly.

From Haaften, together with three experienced specialists, you form the knowledge center for cranes within Dura Vermeer. You combine work preparation and advice with visits to construction projects throughout the Netherlands. This way, you see the direct result of your work.

Dura Vermeer is an independent family business. And you can notice that. In how we work together, look out for one another, and build with an eye for future generations. Since 1855, we have been building the Netherlands, in residential construction, utility construction, infrastructure, and technology. Our independence and long-term vision form the basis for this.

 With a turnover of € 2.6 billion and over 3,700 colleagues, we belong to the top of the Dutch construction sector. But ultimately, for us, it is not about those figures. It is about people. About colleagues working together on projects you can be proud of – iconic and close by – and contributing to solutions for societal issues.

Our ambitions are great. And we only achieve them with committed people. That is why we invest in good employerhood and a work environment in which you feel at home. Where you can be yourself, feel safe, and speak up. So that you get the best out of yourself and make more together with us.

Our Cranes & Hoists department is growing and projects are becoming more complex. That is why we think along early about technical solutions and safe execution. You will get the space to apply your expertise and further develop the department.

In Haaften, the lines are short and you have experienced colleagues to brainstorm with. You work alternately at your desk and at project locations. Do you have an idea to organize the work more intelligently? Then you will get the space to put it into practice.

Do you have questions about the position or would you like to make an informal introduction? Please feel free to contact us. We would love to tell you more about the team, the projects, and the challenges that await you.
