About Stedin

Stedin is a major network company in the Netherlands, responsible for managing and maintaining the electricity and gas networks across large parts of the country.

The Work-and-Learn Program at Stedin

In February 2026, Stedin’s Service Team Operations (STO) will launch a work-and-learn program in which candidates will be trained to become Assistant Technicians.
 You will take classes in Dutch, technical language, and practical skills. You will also learn everything about electrical safety and obtain the necessary certifications (such as VCA).

Once you complete this program, you will start the Level 3 Vocational Training for First Technician in Low- and Medium-Voltage Distribution — where you will continue to work and study at the same time.

Your week will include both theory and practical lessons in Stedin’s on-site training workshop. The other three working days, you will work alongside experienced technicians who will guide you through the trade. You will learn how to install Smart Meters and make adjustments in meter boxes. In addition, you will take part in assembly and excavation work in the distribution networks. During your work, you will have frequent contact with customers and colleagues.
