Working in the Dutch food sector
The Dutch food industry is one of the strongest and most innovative in Europe. Millions of products are produced, processed and exported here every year. This creates a constant demand for international employees who want to contribute to safe, tasty and high-quality food production.
For European jobseekers, the Netherlands offers attractive opportunities in the food sector. Not only because of the wide range of jobs available, but also because of good working conditions, a safe working environment and opportunities to grow within the profession.
What can you expect from a job in the food sector?
The food sector is broad and versatile. Whether you are just starting out or have years of experience, there are positions at every level. Common jobs include:
- Production assistant: You assist in producing and packaging food.
- Operator: You operate machines, monitor the production process and intervene in case of breakdowns.
- Quality employee: You check whether products meet food safety standards.
- Warehouse or logistics assistant: You take care of the storage and transport of products.
- Production team leader: You manage a team and are responsible for progress and safety.
Many positions do not require a degree or extensive experience. You will often receive in-house training, allowing you to quickly start working independently.
Why choose a job in the Netherlands?
The Netherlands is internationally known as a reliable, structured and innovative country to work in. Working conditions are good, wages are in line with the market, and there are clear rules around safety, working hours and breaks.
In addition, the Dutch food sector offers:
- Fixed working hours or shifts, depending on your preference.
- Supplements for evening and weekend work.
- Opportunities for long-term or even permanent work.
- Opportunity to gain experience in an international working environment.
Also not unimportant: many companies work with an international team. English is often spoken in the workplace, so you are not alone.
Growth and development opportunities
Many companies within the food sector offer on-the-job training. Think food safety courses (such as HACCP), machine operation or Dutch on the shop floor.
With motivation and commitment, you can grow from production employee to operator, team leader or quality specialist. So there are also plenty of opportunities for people with ambition to develop.
