Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Do I need to live near Emmen?
Nope. Our team is spread across the Netherlands and even beyond. Since our projects take place throughout the country and abroad, there’s no need to live near Emmen.

2. What kind of projects will I be working on?
You’ll be involved in technical projects at factories, dealerships, and farms. It could be assembly, testing, servicing, or support work. Some projects can be repetitive, but you’ll work in different locations with various machines.

3. Do I need experience with every type of machine?
Not at all. We don’t expect you to know everything. If you’ve got technical insight and are eager to learn, we’ll guide you along the way.

4. Will I be working alone or in a team?
That depends on the project. Sometimes you’ll work solo, sometimes with HuizingHarvest colleagues, and sometimes with the client’s team.

5. What does a typical workweek look like?
In the Netherlands, you’ll usually work Monday to Friday. For international projects, the days can be longer – but that comes with extra time off during or after the project.

6. Will I be home every day after work?
That varies per project, location, and your own preferences. Some jobs require you to be away for several days; others let you sleep in your own bed at night.

7. How long will I be away for a project?
For international projects, you’ll usually be on location for 2 to 4 weeks. We’ll always discuss this with you in advance. After your shift, a colleague will take over.

8. What if I don’t want to go abroad for a while?
No problem. We always plan in consultation with you and take your wishes into account.

9. Who arranges travel and accommodation abroad?
For international jobs, we generally arrange your travel and stay. If you’re moving between multiple sites during a project, you may arrange your own lodging in coordination with us.

10. Do I need to speak English?
Yes, a good level of English is important. At HuizingHarvest, English is often the working language, and not all colleagues speak Dutch. Other languages are a bonus, but not required.

11. Can I grow within the company?
Absolutely. If you want to take on more responsibility or develop new skills, we’re happy to support you.
There’s room to grow – technically, professionally, and personally.
