Vertical Transport Instructor

We are looking for a motivated Vertical Transport Instructor

What you will do as a Vertical Transport Instructor

You'll train (future) colleagues: from novice operators to experienced crane operators. You'll translate practical situations into training where safety is paramount. This isn't done from a dusty textbook, but outside on our premises.

• You provide practical training in Harderwijk (approximately 50% outside, 50% inside).
• You guide participants to their certification.
• You will be given the opportunity to incorporate your own practical experience into the lessons.

Your role shifts from executing to guiding. From doing it yourself to helping others improve. This requires explanation, overview, and patience, but it also yields a reward: influence on how the profession is taught.

Why professionals take this step

Many instructors at SOMA come from the construction industry. They were looking for a way to continue working with machinery, but wanted to avoid the unpredictable days and physical strain. With us, you'll find that stability without losing your pride in the profession. You'll no longer be responsible for just one crane, but for the quality and safety of the entire sector.

This is how it is arranged at SOMA

• Balance: A 38-hour work week with stable hours.
• Salary: Between €3.000 and €4.700 gross (depending on experience in the field).
• Guidance: You'll learn the ropes of instructor training on the job with a dedicated mentor. After three months, you'll be leading a group independently.

The work is varied, with plenty of room for individual input, good facilities and a professional training area where realistic situations can be safely trained.

This suits you if you

• You have at least 5 years of experience as an (all-round) crane operator in vertical transport.
• Would you like to pass on your knowledge to others?
• Choose a position that can also be sustained in the long term.

We also invite earthmoving machine operators, practical supervisors or instructors with a strong technical affinity to apply.

Still a proud employee in vertical transport

Pride remains. It just changes form. As a vertical transport instructor, you're no longer just proud of "your crane," but proud of the profession as a whole. You're proud of the fact that you train people who, thanks to your knowledge, work more safely, make better decisions, and take responsibility in a sector where mistakes have consequences.

You'll stay close to machinery, lifting equipment, and safety, but your influence will grow. You'll help build a safer sector and pass on the trade to people who will soon have to rely on it every day.
