BAM Graduate Programme

What if you could shape the sustainable future of the construction sector and the energy transition in the Netherlands with your vision, knowledge, and expertise? Together, we will take on the challenge and want to contribute to a sustainable Netherlands for our clients, colleagues, and society. In doing so, themes such as sustainability, digitalization, and the energy transition play an important role.

During this two-year traineeship, you will map out the route yourself that fits your ambitions and the needs of BAM. You will choose a new role every six months, which teaches you to make conscious choices about where you want to continue your career. With this broad foundation, you will be ready at the end of the traineeship to further explore BAM and continue to develop in a direction that suits you, so that you and BAM can optimally strengthen each other.

A number of examples of possible rotation positions:

• Contribute to the challenges surrounding the energy transition and underground infrastructure at BAM Energie & Water. For example, at Schiphol.
• Digitizing and optimizing our processes, where you help accelerate our digital transformation.
• Work within BAM Energie & Water and help translate strategic ambitions into concrete improvement initiatives and measurable results.
• Contribute to winning innovative and sustainable construction projects as a Tender Strategist at the Tender Desk of Bouw en Techniek.
• Collaborate on the emission-free construction project at BAM Infra, a crucial part of our strategy for sustainability and industrialization.
• Work on the realization of transport distribution stations at BAM Energie & Water, through which you contribute to the expansion and reinforcement of the electricity grid.
• Get started as a site planner or site manager at BAM Wonen and dive into the realization of our residential construction projects.
• Advise how we can realize our projects in a more sustainable way as a Sustainability Advisor at Advies & Engineering or Infraconsult.

You will be part of an enthusiastic, involved, and driven group of 20 trainees. Once a month, you will have a TOP day (Trainee Ontwikkel Programma Dag). Through various other activities such as the trainee weekend, working groups, committees, and organized activities, you will also get to know BAM, your fellow trainees, and yourself better bit by bit. But that is not the only thing:

• A salary of € 4,165 gross per month based on a 40-hour work week;
• Travel allowance or a business company car if you need one for your rotation;
• Bouw & Infra collective labor agreement (cao) with 30 vacation days, 13 IBU days, and a 2.3% sustainable employability budget;
• A personal senior mentor who will guide you during the two years of the traineeship, as well as a buddy within the trainee group with whom you can discuss everything;
• A strong focus on personal development within the development program at De Droomfabriek and through development conversations with your managers;
• For all BAM employees, there is Young BAM. Young BAM organizes various activities to expand your network and get to know other colleagues. Think of project visits, knowledge-sharing sessions, and drinks.

Today's challenges demand new talent with fresh ideas. Therefore, we are looking for ambitious starters who want to contribute to the energy transition, sustainable infrastructure, and innovative construction solutions.

Have you recently completed a university master's degree, for example in the direction of Construction Management & Engineering, Civil Engineering, Building Science, Robotics, Sustainability, Data Science, Energy Science, IT, or Sustainable Energy Technology? Or have you followed another university education and have a clear interest in the construction, infra, or energy sector? Then our traineeship offers you the chance to work on projects that make the Netherlands future-proof.

Furthermore:

• You have completed a university master's degree;
• You have a maximum of one year of experience after completing your studies and/or you completed your master's a maximum of one year ago;
• You speak the Dutch language and can also manage well in English;
• We value it if, alongside your studies, you have gained experiences that demonstrate you are curious and proactive and come up with innovative ideas.

As a young professional, you will make a difference with your background and expertise in the transitions we are working on within BAM, such as the sustainability of the built environment, digitalization, and the energy transition. For this, a motivation for BAM and the sector is important.
