“If you’re a skilled technician thinking about working abroad, the Netherlands should be at the top of your list. At InAxtion, we connect talented professionals from across the EU with rewarding projects in the Netherlands. And right now, the opportunities are greater and more exciting than ever.”
By Marc van Ravenstein, CEO, InAxtion
Why work in the Netherlands?
From a Dutch perspective, I’ll admit I’m biased! The Netherlands is a really great country to live and work in. It’s a place where your skills matter. People here will take you seriously and judge you based on your knowledge and abilities. Wages are competitive, the working culture is respectful, and you’ll find life here enjoyable and welcoming.
But beyond that, there’s something important coming that benefits all EU workers: new legislation ensuring full equality in pay and benefits. Starting in January, companies must treat EU workers the same as Dutch workers, not just in salary, but in fringe benefits too. That means fairer conditions and better pay for many.
Huge demand for skilled hands
The future is full of technical opportunities here. In Rotterdam, the largest port in Europe, there’s a shift underway. Large-scale petrochemical industries are transitioning toward greener, more sustainable operations. That means factories are being redesigned and refitted to reduce CO2 and energy consumption. And that means jobs.
Across the Netherlands and Europe, our electricity grids are being overhauled to support wind, solar, and new forms of energy. There’s serious discussion about building new nuclear power plants, and investments in defense industries will also create work, including warship construction for both the Dutch and German navies. These projects are large, long-term, and complex, requiring a wide range of skills.
So whether you’re installing cables, assembling control systems, welding steel, or building data centers to power the AI revolution, you’ll find your expertise is needed. And let me be clear: these are not jobs that AI or robots will take over anytime soon. Skilled, hands-on work is the backbone of the future.
Security, training, and support
At InAxtion, we’re proud that many of our workers stay with us for years. Lots of them have long-term contracts and find ongoing opportunities with the same companies. We support them not just with fair pay, but also with proper housing and a path to career improvement.
We’re also launching the InAxtion Academy, a new initiative to help workers build skills, gain certifications, and grow in their careers. Training is more important than ever, and we want to give our people every advantage.
Communication that works for you
We know today’s workers expect fast and open communication. That’s why we’ve embraced WhatsApp and direct messaging to ensure quick, honest responses, whether you have a question about your contract, housing, or the job itself.
At InAxtion, we believe in fairness, transparency, and treating people with respect. Our goal is simple: find you the right project in the Netherlands with the best conditions possible. If you’re ready for the next step in your career, get in touch with us.
