Hiring story

Many Dutch projects rely on ventilated facade systems (rainscreen cladding) to improve thermal performance and weather protection. Teams are built around installers who can read layout lines, mount substructures cleanly, and keep panel alignment consistent over long elevations.

Ventilated facades are often delivered under tight sequencing: brackets/rails, insulation, membranes, then cladding. Contractors look for installers who can work safely at height, maintain tolerances, and coordinate with scaffolding/lift access and logistics on site.

Practical point: photos of past facade/cladding work (even a small portfolio) can speed up matching — optional, but useful.

Pay, overtime & what “gross” means here

The range on this page is indicative gross (brutto) hourly pay for the Netherlands. Final terms depend on the assignment and payroll/contract setup.

Experience level: ability to install substructure, membranes, finishing, and keep tolerances.
Overtime/shift rules: premium rates can apply depending on project and local agreements.
Certificates: safety credentials (e.g., VCA) and height-access competence can influence placement.

No unrealistic promises: travel, accommodation, tools and deductions (if any) are confirmed per project before you accept.
