• Work location: throughout the Netherlands

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll ensure that fire extinguishers, emergency lighting, and first-aid supplies work when it matters most. Maintenance and installation go hand in hand, and you’ll be the face of HooVos for our customers. If you’re just starting out, you’ll ride along with an experienced colleague and learn the trade on the job. Once you’ve earned your certifications, you’ll head out on your own in your own service van.

• Maintenance of fire suppression lines and fire pits
• Maintenance of emergency lighting, first-aid supplies, and AEDs
• Installing fire extinguishers and mounting fire hose reels
• Assisting customers and providing advice on fire safety

What we offer

• A salary between €2,600 and €3,600 per month, plus a year-end bonus
• No experience yet? We’ll train you to become an independent fire extinguisher and emergency lighting technician, entirely at our expense
• A Zwitserleven pension plan that ranks among the best in the market, with a high contribution from us, so you’ll ultimately have even more to show for it
• 35 days of vacation per year, including 7 mandatory days off so you can truly unwind

What you’ll bring to the role

• You’re handy, use common sense, and aren’t afraid of a little mechanical work
• You’re not afraid to work on electrical systems such as emergency lighting
• A REOB certificate or experience with fire extinguishers or emergency lighting is a plus, but not required
• A technical background is a plus. The most important thing is that you’re eager to learn
• You speak Dutch well and present yourself professionally when visiting customers

Since 2002, HooVos has specialized in fire safety and has deliberately remained a close-knit company. Here, you’re not just a number—you’re a colleague whom the directors know by name. You’ll notice this in our short lines of communication, the way we interact with customers, and the fact that many of our colleagues have been with us for over 10 years. If you start as an apprentice, you’ll continue to grow with us—both in knowledge and salary.
