Working at VDL

VDL employees are enthusiastic, motivated and committed. They are real go-getters and feel at home within the informal, open, no-nonsense culture. There is little hierarchy and the lines are short, as befits a family business. Our employees, a mix of driven starters and experienced professionals, are proud of the cool products we develop and produce together. We pass on knowledge and seize opportunities with both hands. To grow and to excel. As one strong team. Connected by a heart for technological progress.

We: 
* Stand side by side 
* Challenge ourselves 
* Go for innovation 
* Learn from each other 
* Make the future together 

VDL has many opportunities if you have the ambition to grow. This can be within the VDL company or you can grow at one of the many other VDL companies.

As VDL colleagues, we like to see each other not only during working hours, but also outside! There are regular activities in which you can take part. For example, your company's staff association regularly organises fun outings. VDL Groep also organises (sporting) activities where you can meet colleagues from other VDL companies. Such as our annual football tournament, a tennis tournament and you can come along on a motorbike weekend. Networking events are organised especially for VDL employees under the age of 35 by our YVE group (Young VDL Employees). These range from educational events such as guided tours and workshops to more informal activities such as business games or Friday afternoon drinks. Last but not least, we organise a phenomenal VDL party for thousands of colleagues with various halls and the biggest Dutch artists.
