Internship Communication Construction Site Protocol

Internship Communication Construction Site Protocol

Location: Haaften | 32–40 hours | Start: February, but can also be immediate!

What you create during your internship will actually be used on our construction sites

What does a well-organized construction site look like? Where should the signage go? What image do we want to give to hoarding banners? How do we make clear what the standard is for safety, waste, parking, or visitors? And above all: how do you ensure that a site manager doesn't have to search endlessly, but knows at a glance what is needed and which equipment is associated with it?

At Dura Vermeer, we want to capture that in one Construction Site Protocol: a practical guide and visual standard for the construction site. It shows how we make our construction sites recognizable, tidy, safe, and smart. And you will help create that protocol.

This makes this internship interesting:

During this internship, you will be right at the intersection of communication, design, and the practice of construction. One day you'll talk to a site manager about what works and what doesn't. The next day, you'll organize all the information already available within Dura Vermeer. Afterward, you'll write a guideline so that someone can understand it in seconds and then translate it into a visually coherent page in Adobe InDesign.

So you don't have to choose between writing or designing. You'll do both.

This is what you will do:

• collect and structure existing guidelines and information within Dura Vermeer;

• examine how construction sites are currently organized and what challenges colleagues face in practice;

• talk to site managers and colleagues within Dura Vermeer Equipment;

• determine which topics, standards, and resources belong in the Dura Vermeer protocol;

• create and use photos, illustrations, icons, tables, and other visual aids to make information quickly clear;

• develop new communication tools or formats where necessary;

• design the complete protocol in Dura Vermeer's house style;

• critically test whether someone on the construction site can actually work with it quickly and improve the protocol based on this feedback.

You will have a lot of freedom to think about questions such as: how do we make a document of this size pleasant to use? What should you show instead of explaining? Which information belongs together? What things truly help a site manager move forward?

What you bring

For this assignment, we are not just looking for someone who can design beautifully. Nor are we looking for someone who can write well. The combination is precisely what's important.

You:

• enjoy reducing a lot of information to a logical structure. You can write a technical story understandably and at the same time have an eye for typography, imagery, hierarchy, and design;

• are pursuing a higher professional education (HBO) such as Communication, Creative Business, Communication & Multimedia Design (CMD), Media & Design, Crossmedia Design, Marketing Communication, Visual Communication/Graphic Design, or a comparable program;

• write clear and error-free Dutch;

• can work with Adobe Creative Suite;

• can independently gather information, organize it, and justify choices;

• enjoy speaking with colleagues from different professional fields and translating their knowledge into a usable end product.

What we offer you

• A graduation or work placement with a clear assignment and visible impact;

• Plenty of room for your own initiative and input;

• An internship allowance of €700,- per month;

• Guidance from the communication department and close collaboration with colleagues from practice;

• A behind-the-scenes look at the construction site and the equipment department.

Why this is interesting

You are not working on research that will end up in a drawer, but on a product that will soon be visible on all our construction sites. You combine analysis, creativity, and practice, and deliver something that is directly used by site managers and project teams.
