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!
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 along 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 is South Drenthe. Your workday often begins from home and you drive to the relevant area, for which you have already prepared your 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 tasks involving 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.
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.
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 care for each other. Within our company, there is plenty of room to grow and develop yourself. This contributes to our collective success.
Above all, job happiness is central, with a good balance between work and private life. We ensure a pleasant working atmosphere, with regularly organized department outings, staff parties, summer holiday and Christmas drinks, and other activities. Pleasure is what connects our family; we call it: WerkpleSiers. #WerkpleSiers
We are not the most fun family business in underground infra for nothing.
