VeVa Soldier Engineer CBRN (Hazardous Materials)

Introductory text

Have you (almost) completed your VeVa training O&V level 2 or 3? Then apply for a job at the most versatile part of the Army: the Engineers. As a Soldier Engineer CBRN, you are the expert in the field of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear substances (abbreviated: CBRN).

Note: if you are hired for this position, you will be appointed as 'Soldier Construction Engineer' within the Defense organization.

What you will do

As a Soldier Engineer CBRN, you will work at a CBRN unit: the military construction company of the Army, specialized in combat support and construction. This makes your daily activities extra varied, because in addition to construction tasks, you will also be involved in structural, electrical, and installation engineering work. You are a soldier, CBRN expert, and construction specialist in one.

You will start at a decontamination unit, supporting the DIM platoon (Detect, Identify, and Monitor) with their tasks. Does an incident with hazardous materials occur? Then you and the DIM platoon will immediately take action together. You will jointly build a wash station to decontaminate vehicles that have been in an area with hazardous materials. You can also be sent to an area to decontaminate it, so that the local population can live there or so that our own troops can operate safely. This way, you and your unit prevent hazardous materials from being carried along with vehicles or personnel to your own troops. An important task!

PLUS POINTS OF THIS FUNCTION

• Salary: your gross base salary, through allowances and our favorable travel expenses, pension, and healthcare schemes, will result in a pleasant net surprise.
• Work atmosphere: you will never be part of such a close-knit team of colleagues as within Defense.
• Growth opportunities: besides being an employer, Defense is 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 a call-up date. Please note: this is a fictional date and therefore incorrect. 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 assessment, 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.

Where you will work

You will be operationally stationed with 13 Light Brigade, 41 Armored Engineer Battalion/414 CBRN, or with the 43 Mechanized Brigade in Oirschot or Wezep. Occasionally, specialists will go on deployment, but not as a unit. You will participate in exercises: for example, you will follow a fixed CBRN training in Canada.

Before you start working, you will first complete the four-month Basic Royal Netherlands Army Training (BOKL) in Assen, Ermelo, or Oirschot, followed by a 12-week internal Professional Training at the CBRN. After successfully completing the training, you will immediately start your career as a Soldier Engineer CBRN in the Army.
