SMIT is a real Volendam company. You can sense this in the down-to-earth way of collaborating, the short lines of communication, and colleagues who are there for one another. You won't be working in a large, anonymous organization with us. You know the people you work with and can easily drop by each other's desks if you want to brainstorm about something.
As an Electrical Technician, you will work extensively on projects and construction sites. You will work together with colleagues who know their trade and you can always ask questions whenever you encounter something. At SMIT, we do not expect you to already know everything. We find it more important that you want to learn and want to deliver good work.
We consciously work with many apprentices and young professionals. Because of this, there is a lot of knowledge present within SMIT and plenty of room to pass that knowledge on. An experienced technician can transfer their craftsmanship to the next generation. And new colleagues, in turn, bring new ideas and techniques.
Do you want to further develop yourself? Then there are opportunities to grow into roles such as head technician, work preparer, or project leader.
SMIT is part of VDK Groep. This allows you to combine the personal atmosphere and freedom of SMIT with the benefits of a larger organization, such as training opportunities, a stable foundation, and extra employment benefits.
Do you want to learn the electrical trade or further expand your experience at a down-to-earth Volendam company? Then please contact Joyce Jongejan, Recruitment Business Partner at VDK Groep.
