START YOUR CAREER WITH US!

We are hydraulic engineers. The work we do is and remains relevant, because the Netherlands is inextricably linked to water. It is fascinating and threatening at the same time. Water is powerful and sometimes unpredictable. The sea level is rising and that forces us to adapt the landscape and our environment. Van den Herik deals with this every day.

 

Like us, are you driven, creative and want to keep developing yourself? We are constantly looking for ‘water talent’. You can work for us in a dynamic work environment with plenty of room for your own input.

What your new colleagues think

“My work at van den Herik is especially fun because it is different almost every day. For example, I have a lot of contact with colleagues to coordinate the work and with clients to keep them informed of project developments. But I also talk to the subcontractors we manage.”

Sennade Groot | Tractor driver & crane operator

“I would definitely recommend the traineeship at Van den Herik. It is a super nice company, with a nice atmosphere. I experience a lot of variety in projects and diversity in my work. That makes it a learning and interesting experience!”

Lorenzo Somai | Trainee

“You can pick up different roles within a project and discover what you find interesting. It’s also very normal to rotate through another department for a change. This way you not only get to know colleagues better, but you also see the work from other perspectives.”

AyaHamdi | dual student Civil Engineering
