VeVa Soldaat Genie - Luchtmobiel

Introduction

Have you (almost) completed your VeVa training in O&V or GROP level 2? Do you enjoy working in a team and can you improvise well? Then become a Soldier Engineer Air Mobile. A varied job with the most versatile component of a combat unit that can be rapidly deployed anywhere in the world.

What you will do

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

As a Soldier Engineer Air Mobile, you clear minefields, obstacles and other barriers. In doing so, you use, among other things, motorized tools and explosives. You also contribute to construction work. Think, for example, of setting up and maintaining camps, emergency facilities and bridges.

Please note: There are several deployment moments (start dates) during the year. The deployment 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. Once all parts of the application process have been successfully completed, the start date will be discussed with you and recorded.
