A role that is both independent and responsible, allowing room for your input, new ideas, initiatives, and entrepreneurship.

All within a pleasant, open, and informal work environment, where activities are also part of Alfen's culture. These activities may include an online escape room, enjoyable quizzes with snacks, and, weather permitting, bowling nights, attending Almere City matches, mudflat hiking, and more.

Naturally, we provide a competitive benefits package including a phone and laptop, along with 27 vacation days + 13 ADV (reduction of working hours) per year, as we believe it's important for you to have regular relaxation time. Furthermore, you'll have driven colleagues willing to share knowledge and opportunities for professional development.
