Personal development leads the way
Our strong market position exists thanks to our 3,000 employees around the world.
These enthusiastic, competent and professional employees are key to an ambitious
organisation such as Kramp.
This is why we place a great deal of emphasis on personal development. We encourage
employees to learn, grow and fulfil their full potential. And this is not just something that
we talk about — we make it a reality. You can expect us to provide you with the necessary
tools to achieve this. We are offering you a challenging traineeship in an informal,
international and inspiring environment.

In spite of Kramp's international character, customers
also find us to be a local partner. In the countries in
which we are represented, we guarantee direct and
personal contact. Local specialists answer customers'
questions and offer advice. These short lines of
communication keep us on the ball and support our no
nonsense mentality. Quality? We believe is a question of
character.
Ambitious, driven
and... a graduate
Are you driven, entrepreneurial, able to
work independently and have your Bachelor
or Master Degree? Do you have less than
two years work experience and are you
looking for opportunities to accelerate your
growth? If this sounds like you, we are
offering an international trainee program
that will allow you to invest fully in your
technical knowledge, skills and
development. At Kramp, you will develop
yourself from an up-and-coming talent to
an all round, result focused manager.
Your plans, our opportunities
As a trainee, you will be exposed to a number of
different levels within our company — from the factory floor
to management. As you will be working in various
departments and on various projects in the Netherlands
and abroad, you will gain a good understanding of Kramp,
your colleagues and our processes. In consultation with
you, and in keeping with business requirements
we will tailor the traineeship to your intended personal
development. With an optimum mix of working and
learning, you will acquire a wealth of practical experience
that will stand you in good stead for a promising start to
your career.
Basis for quality
A leading position in the market doesn't come easy...
Providing an optimum service, discussing challenges with
customers, earning trust, exceeding expectations — it is in
our employees' blood. We also consider it to be what our
quality is based on.
