VeVa Soldier Driver Swap-Body Loading System

## Introduction *Have you (almost) completed your VeVa training in Logistics or GROP level 2? Are you adventurous, not afraid to get your hands dirty, and have you always wanted to drive a rugged container truck? Then this is your chance! Because the Army is looking for drivers!* ## What you will do As a Soldier Driver Swap-Body Loading System, you are responsible for your own vehicle, cargo, and the execution of trips. Your cargo may consist of goods, but also personnel. You drive trips in support of all defence units in the Netherlands and abroad. Supporting exercises and missions is also part of your task. During all these transport assignments, goods are transported in containers and on flatracks using trucks with a swap-body loading system. Thanks to the swap-body loading system, you are not dependent on external parties for loading your cargo and you can transport all types of cargo. Think of food and drink, spare parts, but also fuel and ammunition for military operations. Once you have gained sufficient driving experience as a road transport driver, you can progress to (leading) corporal or further as a driver of a heavy tractor with semi-trailer at a Heavy Transport Company. You can also progress to (non-commissioned) officer. The minimum requirements to progress to non-commissioned officer are VMBO GL/TL. To progress to officer, you must have at least an HBO diploma. At the start of the position (after completing the Royal Netherlands Army Basic Training (BOKL) and job-specific training), you must hold a Dutch Civil Driving License B. If you do not have this, Defence will help you obtain the driving license and will cover the cost. However, you are responsible yourself for obtaining the driving license on time. **Please note: There are multiple intake moments (start dates) during the year. The intake date for which you are eligible will only be determined later. This depends, among other things, on the outcome of the Psychological Assessment, the Medical examination, and the security screening. As soon as all parts of the application process have been successfully completed, the start date will be discussed with you and recorded.** ## Where you will work You will work at the Supply and Transport Command (B&TCo).

If you do not yet have a driving license, you additionally follow driving training at the Driving Training and Education Centre in Oirschot. The training lasts approximately 10 months in total. As a Soldier, you take part in various exercises. You should also keep in mind that, like every soldier, you may be deployed. €3,000 ~ €3,400 salary, €6,000 bonus per year, 23 ~ 30 days off per year, free driving license, Location: Ermelo Your starting salary depends on your age, education level, and experience.
