VeVa Junior Officer Communications Service (ICT) - Air Assault

Introductory Text

Have you (almost) completed your VeVa ICT level 3 training? And are you now looking for a position within the Ministry of Defence that aligns with it? As a Junior Officer of the Communications Service (ICT) in the Air Assault Brigade, you will lead a team responsible for ICT and communications.

What you will do

The Air Assault Brigade is a rapidly deployable unit that can be on location anywhere in the world within 20 days to provide assistance or combat a conflict. Helicopters guarantee the Air Assault Brigade rapid troop deployment and also ensure the transport of weapons, equipment, food, and other supplies.

The Communications Service installs, operates, and maintains all telecommunications equipment and connections within the Royal Netherlands Army. This ranges from telephones, faxes, and computers to radio and satellite connections. The Communications Service also handles mail delivery. The work is primarily carried out during exercises and deployments.

As a Junior Officer of the Communications Service (ICT) in the Air Assault Brigade, you will lead a team responsible for multiple communication means. You will not only be able to operate the equipment present within the group but also train your people so they can operate the systems as well.

Note: There are multiple start dates throughout the year. The start date for which you are eligible will be determined later. This depends, among other things, on the results of the Psychological Examination, the Medical Examination, and the Security Investigation. As soon as all parts of the application process have been successfully completed, the start date will be discussed and confirmed with you.

Where you will work

Depending on your preference and the opportunities within the organization, you will work at the Air Assault Brigade in Schaarsbergen or Assen.

After entering service, you will first follow the Junior Officer training at the Royal Military School in Ermelo, where you will learn all basic military skills. After completion, you will start the job-specific training at the Defence Training and Education Centre Communications Service in Ede. If you do not yet possess a driver's license, you will also follow the driver training at the Training and Education Centre Driving in Oirschot.

As a Soldier, you will participate in various exercises. In addition, you must take into account that, like every Soldier, you may be deployed.
