The role
Do you enjoy working outdoors and independently, and do you want a job where you truly contribute to the safety of households in your region? Then start as a Gas Leak Detector at Siers!
What you'll do
The majority of households in the Netherlands are still connected to the natural gas grid. It seems obvious that you can use gas safely at home, but to keep it that way, Siers Infraconsult performs gas leak detection work on behalf of various grid operators. Every gas pipe is checked for leaks once every three years, so that the chance of accidents when turning on the heating or a warm shower remains as small as possible.
As a gas leak detector, you walk over the underground gas pipes with a gas detection device and a tablet and check them for leaks. If you find a leak or something unusual, you report this to the client according to the regulations. Gas pipes run not only under public land but also under private property. You will therefore regularly visit people's yards, and residents like to know what you are doing. A friendly explanation is therefore part of the job.
Your work area will primarily be the east of the province of Utrecht. Your workday often begins from home and you drive to the respective area where you have already prepared the walking route yourself.
The work as a gas leak detector begins around February and runs through approximately the month of October. During the winter period, Siers will look for replacement work for you. Think of activities on smart gas and electricity meters, but also inspection and maintenance work on central heating boilers. We are looking for new colleagues for the 2027 season. Therefore, the start date will be around February 8, 2027.
What do you bring?
At least MBO level 2 work and thinking level;
You possess a B driving license;
You are proficient with computers and/or tablets;
You can understand measurements on drawings or you want to learn this;
Good skills in planning and organizing your own work;
You have good physical fitness; you perform the work mainly on foot, meaning you cover approximately 20 kilometers per day;
Good command of the Dutch language, both oral and written. You will visit people's yards, where residents like to know what you are doing. Additionally, you will visit people's homes during the winter work;
Contribute to the future of the Netherlands
Since 1964, our colleagues have been working hard every day to ensure that your house is warm in the winter, water flows from the tap, the lights are on in the evening, and you can work with a fast internet connection. Siers offers total solutions in the fields of heat, water, energy, and telecom. We are a stable and healthy employer with a mission to provide the Netherlands with sustainable and reliable underground infrastructures.
WORK + SIERS = WORK PLEASURE
You can count on it; when you come to work at Siers, you become part of a family of professionals. This means that you look out for one another and take care of each other. Within our company, there is plenty of room to grow and develop yourself. This contributes to our collective success.
Above all, happiness at work is central, with a good balance between work and private life. We ensure a pleasant working atmosphere, with regularly organized department outings, staff parties, construction holiday and Christmas drinks, and other activities. Fun is what connects our family; we call it: WerkpleSiers. #WerkpleSiers
We are not the most fun family business in underground infra for nothing.
