Re-entrant Sergeant Major Signals Service

Introductory text

Have you recently (between now and 6 years ago) resigned as a professional soldier and were you a Sergeant Major in the Signals Service at the time? And do you want to return? The Special Entry Bureau of the Royal Netherlands Army is happy to look into the possibilities for you to return as a professional soldier.

What you will do

In addition to the required civilian education(s), you have also previously completed your initial training with the Royal Netherlands Army. You can therefore (after proven suitability) immediately start working again as a professional soldier with the Royal Netherlands Army.

Where you will work

We currently have multiple placement opportunities. If you have a preference for a specific direction and/or placement, you can indicate this so we can take it into account.

After receiving your details, we will start working on your re-entry request. The assessment will, among other things, consider your military history, references, and previous performance, whether you are still current enough to start in a position immediately, and we will try to find a match with a suitable job placement.

It is not necessary to attend an orientation or information day to apply. You can apply directly via the button below.

If there is a match, we will of course contact you as soon as possible to inform you about the possibilities, terms of employment, the selection and medical examination process (this may differ from the regular process), and the initiation of a security screening.

Questions about re-entering the Royal Netherlands Army can be asked via [email protected].

Maybe you're hesitating. We are not. We see not only who you are now, but also who you can become. What you can't do today, you'll learn tomorrow. With good education, training, guidance, and a team that has your back.

Don't worry, we believe in you. At Defense, you get everything you need to grow: good education, training, coaching, and a team that has your back. If it doesn't work out after all? We'll help you further. Together we'll look at where you do belong within Defense.
