Why here

Working at Benelux Diving

Diver checking helmet and communications cable before a dive

Safety is the plan, not a slogan

Every dive is prepared, supervised from the surface and documented. Stopping the job is always an accepted decision.

Real infrastructure work

Quay walls, locks, jetties, scour protection and structural repairs in ports, rivers and canals across the Benelux.

Small teams, clear roles

Diver, standby diver, tender and supervisor. Everyone knows the plan before anyone enters the water.

Craft over speed

Zero-visibility work rewards method and communication. We plan the tide window instead of rushing it.

Sven spends most of his week in the water on quay walls and jetties. He likes the variety: no two sites are the same.

Commercial Diver

A good tender is the diver's connection to the surface — and to safety.

TJ manages the umbilical, the dive log and the hand signals. He keeps the deck calm when the weather turns.

FAQ

Common questions for candidates

What certifications do I need?

For diving roles we require a valid commercial diving certificate recognised in the Netherlands or Belgium, a current medical fitness certificate, and a valid VCA/SCC safety certificate. Supervisors and tenders bring their own documented specialisations.

Do you hire trainees or junior divers?

We keep a file of motivated junior candidates and regularly offer start-up trajectories where a certified diver shadows an experienced team. Send an open application and we will contact you when a suitable trajectory opens.

What does medical fitness mean for commercial divers?

You need a medical examination by a registered diving doctor. We accept Dutch, Belgian and equivalent EU certificates. The examination must be valid and cover the depths and conditions of the work you will perform.

How is planning and scheduling arranged?

Projects follow tide windows, client schedules and weather. We work in day shifts, sometimes nights or weekends depending on the site. You receive a planning forecast at least one week in advance and any changes are communicated directly.

Can I send an open application?

Yes. If no vacancy matches your profile, send us your CV, certificates and a short motivation. We keep qualified profiles on file and contact you when a suitable project or role comes up.

What happens after I apply?

You receive a confirmation within two working days. We review your certificates and experience, then invite you for an introduction. If both sides are positive, you join a team on site for a day before we discuss terms and planning.
