Requirements

What we're looking for

You have:

  • Plenty of ambition to work in a compact team with short lines of communication, the drive to motivate others, and technical insight and accuracy.
  • Demonstrable work experience as a Civil Engineering Foreman is a plus, but an eager-to-learn attitude is just as important.
  • Driving license B (preferably BE).
  • You are flexibly deployable.
  • A good command of the Dutch language, both spoken and written — important for communication, safety instructions, and work orders.
  • A proactive work attitude, physical fitness, and you are accustomed to working outdoors.

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

We value your commitment and offer the following in return:

  • A good salary starting from €23,- per hour depending on your experience. 
  • 30 vacation days per year according to the Bouw & Infra CAO.
  • A generous individual budget on top of your salary, including holiday allowance. You choose: extra days off (up to 18 extra) or extra income. Your individual budget is saved in the Time Savings Fund. This allows you to easily build up a financial nest egg for later.
  • A good pension scheme with employer contribution at bpf bouw.
    Are you currently in another fund? Please take into account that bpf bouw already switched to the new pension system on January 1, 2026.
  • Plenty of training and development opportunities, both technical and personal.
  • Don't live nearby? No problem. We ensure you can set off without a care. For example, by reimbursing your travel expenses or through the use of a company van (this is function-dependent).
  • Cycle to work affordably with a lease bike via our scheme.

The role

As a Civil Engineering Foreman within our Breda branch, you are the daily operational leader on the project. You lead the team, monitor planning and quality, think ahead, and ensure that the project is executed safely and according to agreements. Thanks to your professional knowledge and leadership, the project runs smoothly and the client is satisfied. Craftsman or craftswoman — at Strukton, we make no distinction.

What you'll do

  • Leading the Civil Engineering team at the project location.
  • Executing and inspecting earthworks, paving, and sewerage works.
  • Coordinating materials, equipment, and subcontractors.
  • Daily contact with the site manager and project management.
  • Recording progress in daily reports.
  • Monitoring safety, quality, and planning.
  • Collaborating where necessary: you are both a leader and a craftsman.
  • Identifying deviations and thinking along with solutions.

Bedrijfsomschrijving

The work consists of the construction of roads (asphalt and/or paving elements), sewerage, earthworks, paving, water management, site preparation, residential site preparation, landscaping, small civil-hydraulic works, and piping for sewage or pressure lines. We can confidently offer a very diverse package of activities, ensuring it never gets boring quickly.

What we expect from you

Safety comes first and you work according to procedures and guidelines such as VCA-VOL and GPI. You are willing to undergo BHV training at the expense of Strukton.

In their own words

About the company & team

As a Civil Engineering Foreman, you become part of Strukton Civiel Nederland. We realize sustainable projects in civil infrastructure and are a national organization with local branches. Collaboration is central to everything we do. Our strength lies in the combination of technical expertise, national impact, and connection with the local environment. We work together with local, regional, and national clients throughout the Netherlands. Strukton Civiel Nederland is part of Strukton.

Within Strukton Civiel Nederland, and certainly in the Breda branch, you will join a small and tight-knit team where everyone knows each other and can rely on one another. The atmosphere is familial, with short lines of communication and a lot of mutual trust. You work together with colleagues who are involved, skilled, and motivated to deliver the best result every day.

We help each other, solve problems together, and celebrate successes as one crew. What makes your work so enjoyable? Your team functions like a well-oiled machine, which ensures a pleasant working atmosphere. One week you are working on the redesign of a village street, the next week on the reconstruction of an industrial estate.

The tasks themselves are also varied: from breaking up streets to pouring a foundation or assisting with cable and piping work. You often encounter situations that you and your team did not foresee in advance. The challenge is yours to find a solution for them.

Don't have your CV ready yet? No problem, you can also apply without a CV and send it later.
