NCO Loadmaster

Introductory text

Loading our aircraft and helicopters can sometimes amount to 25,000 kg. In addition, people will often be transported as well. Do you accept the challenge of ensuring the correct loading? And are you not afraid to fly along yourself? Then apply for the position of NCO Loadmaster.

This is what you will do

As an NCO Loadmaster, you will be jointly responsible for loading and unloading our transport helicopters and transport aircraft, which carry both cargo and passengers. And not just inside the aircraft, but sometimes also underneath it. You will also be responsible for guiding the helicopter or aircraft (voice marshalling) and performing weight calculations. In addition, you will fly along as a crew member on transport missions. These can range from cargo transport and troop transport to the transport of the injured, refugees, and firefighting. You may also be deployed as a gunner or for technical tasks. It is important that you keep your knowledge up to date by regularly studying outside of flying and loading activities.

This is where you will work

You will work at Gilze-Rijen Air Base, the home base for helicopters, or Eindhoven Air Base, the home base for transport aircraft. However, you will also be away from home for extended periods regularly for exercises and deployments.
Before you start working as a Loadmaster, you will undergo military training at the Royal Air Education and Training Center (RAETC) in Woensdrecht and vocational training.
