Job Opportunities for Highly-Skilled Migrant Workers
As one of the Netherlands’ leading grid operators, Enexis helps drive the energy transition. And we need you to help us make it happen. We are looking for true experts in roles ranging from Mendix developers, test engineers and SAP consultants to electrical engineers and energy transition experts. If you want to contribute to our sustainability ambitions, we ensure a smooth employment journey. And we offer you a great place to develop your skills and career. Interested? Let us get you started with some useful information.
Permission to work in the Netherlands
Highly skilled and educated migrants are encouraged to come and work in the Netherlands. As an employer recognised by the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND), we ensure a smooth application process for the necessary permits. We even submit the required admission and residence application (TEV) at IND on your behalf.

Tax benefits: the 30% ruling
To compensate for the potentially higher costs of living, the Dutch government offers a five-year tax reduction scheme coined the 30% ruling. The name of the scheme refers to the maximum tax reduction of 30%, which you may receive during your first 20 months of employment. For the second 20 months, you may receive up to 20% and in the third period of 20 months up to 10%.
If you would like to read about the ruling in greater detail, check out the tax authorities page on ‘extraterritorial costs’. Think it is too complicated? Do not worry. As your employer we assess your eligibility for the scheme and apply for the 30% facility on your behalf.
Onboarding and job-specific training
Dutch language training
Being able to speak Dutch is not just about being able to communicate with colleagues or clients. You may also need good knowledge of Dutch to comply with industry-specific safety guidelines. So, if a good command of Dutch is needed for your role, Dutch language training will be included in your onboarding programme. It will help you communicate with confidence. Not just on the job, but in your private life as well.
Depending on your current language level and job needs, the training may range from e-learning to classroom learning and individual coaching. To avoid language barriers, all of our teachers speak English.
Coaching and support
To help you get started and find your way, you will be supported by a buddy. Your buddy mentors you, offers guidance and helps you get to know our workplace culture.
Group health insurance: for you and your family
At Enexis, we care about your health and wellbeing. As mandatory basic health insurance may not cover your and your family’s needs, we offer discounts on supplementary insurance under our group policy at Zilveren Kruis Achmea. Should you opt for such additional cover, we will contribute €30 a month towards the insurance premium.
Joining our group health insurance scheme also means you have free access to healthcare mediation. The Zilveren Kruis healthcare mediators help you get access to specialist treatment quicker. They even select the best hospital or care provider for your situation.
