  • Je beschikt over oplossend vermogen, daadkracht en verantwoordelijkheidsgevoel;
  • Geen hoogtevrees;

Bilfinger Height Specialists

Bilfinger Height Specialists is een gespecialiseerd rope access bedrijf in Bergschenhoek. We maken middels touwtechnieken het onbereikbare bereikbaar waarbij we diverse bouwtechnische werkzaamheden uitvoeren.

Met rope access gebruiken we touwen, klimtechnieken en veiligheidsmaterialen om toegang te krijgen tot moeilijk bereikbare plekken. Dit kan in de hoogte zijn of in de diepte zoals, werklocaties boven water, in besloten ruimtes of juist in gebouwen. Hiermee vermijden we obstakels op een veilige en efficiënte manier om zo werkzaamheden op hoogte uit te voeren. Daarbij hanteren we de IRATA normen.

Heb je interesse, stuur dan je cv naar mirelle.strik@bilfinger.com. Voor vragen over deze vacature mag je uiteraard telefonisch contact met ons opnemen en kun je vragen naar Mirelle Strik. Bel dan tijdens kantoortijden met 015-2565662.
