Electricians install the systems that keep factories running. From panel building to industrial cabling, from utility projects to machine building — you are the link between the drawing and a working installation. In Arnhem you are close to manufacturing, energy (TenneT, Alliander), logistics. FlexHero places skilled workers here every day — mainly from other EU countries — with housing in the region and transport to the workplace.
