Our client arranges accommodation for you. Currently, the average distance between the accommodation and the project site is 30 kilometers. The accommodation is shared with several people, but everyone always has their own bedroom.

If you want to work in the Netherlands, you need to have a BSN (Citizen Service Number), and you’ll require certain certifications. Our client will make an appointment with the municipality to obtain a BSN. For VCA or Sky platform (IPAF), an exam needs to be taken. Our client will provide study materials to help you prepare and will cover the cost of the first exam. It is very achievable to pass the exam if you are an experienced electrician and have studied. Any subsequent attempts will need to be paid for by the individual.
