Non-Commissioned Officer Military Administration

Introductory text

Excel holds no secrets for you, you are a whiz with numbers and an administrative job appeals to you. You are a team player, but also possess a high degree of independence, demonstrating initiative and acting proactively. However, you don't want to be stuck in an office all day… Good news! With (at least) a VMBO GL diploma in hand, you can apply as a Non-Commissioned Officer Military Administration in the Royal Netherlands Army. An office job, but you will also participate in exercises and deployments.

This is what you will do

As a Non-Commissioned Officer Military Administration in the Army, you will work within the Logistics field. You are the right-hand person to the commander and will focus on administrative matters related to Personnel & Organization, finance, business operations, and secretarial tasks. For example, you will ensure that the exercise allowance for soldiers is paid on time. In addition to supporting the commander, you may also be deployed for general military tasks, such as operating in the command post of your unit.

• Work atmosphere: nowhere will you be part of such a close-knit team of colleagues as in the Ministry of Defence.
• Growth opportunities: Defence is, in addition to being an employer, also a large training institute where you can follow courses to grow personally and professionally.

Note: there are multiple start dates throughout the year. After applying, you will receive a personal application file containing an enlistment date. Please note: this is a fictional date and therefore not correct. The start date you are eligible for will be determined later. This depends, among other things, on the outcome of the psychological assessment, the medical examination, and the security investigation, which are part of the application process. Once all these components have been successfully completed, your start date will be discussed and confirmed.

This is where you will work

You will be placed within the command group of an (independent) company at one of the Army units in the Netherlands. You will participate in exercises and should take into account that you may be deployed.

Before you start working, you will first follow the Non-Commissioned Officer training at the Royal Military School in Ermelo, where you will learn all basic military skills. Your training will be completed with a Job-Specific Training at the Defence Training and Education Centre Logistics in Soesterberg. After successfully completing your training, you will immediately start your career as a Non-Commissioned Officer Military Administration.

The Royal Netherlands Army will take your placement preference into account, but may deviate from the initial placement preference for organizational reasons. The Royal Netherlands Army will inform you about your actual placement during the Job-Specific Training.
