Ballast Nedam Large Infra

Together we are building the infrastructure of tomorrow

Vacancies

With thousands of roads, bridges, viaducts, tunnels and quay walls, the Netherlands is unique in its complexity and accessibility. Ballast Nedam Large Infra plays a key role in this. We deliver large-scale, complex infrastructure projects: from the longest land tunnel in the Netherlands to bridges spanning major waterways.

Our strength lies in providing end-to-end solutions. We are often involved from the design phase and only hand over a project after years of long-term maintenance. Thanks to our expertise in, among other things, excavation pits at depths of up to 30 metres, quay structures, and foundation and excavation techniques, we are able to manage projects in their entirety.

We have all disciplines in-house and collaborate with strong partners both within and outside Ballast Nedam. This enables us to deliver integrated solutions to the most challenging infrastructure issues.

Working at Ballast Nedam Large Infra

Behind every project is a team of dedicated professionals. Their expertise, innovative strength and team spirit make our success possible. Working at Ballast Nedam Large Infra means being part of complex, high-profile projects that you likely use yourself every day: motorways, bridges, tunnels and ports.

What defines us as an employer? We combine an international outlook with Dutch pragmatism, while creating space for initiative and personal development in an inspiring environment. Our projects are literal building blocks for the future, allowing us to make a real difference. We continue to foster a collaborative atmosphere where teamwork and pride are central. And we are always keen to celebrate that pride and our successes together at social gatherings and events.
