Talented tractor drivers
You are easy-going and your attitude invites people to socialise with you. You are in contact with co-workers, clients, farmers, and curious passers-by. Sometimes you might get a sudden emergency call for a rush job. You stay calm and take the initiative. You work in a setting where you can create some sort of balance between people, plants, and the soil. A golden combination in a profession to be proud of. You don’t need an education. When you are employed by AB Midden Nederland we can help you get your BE or T driving license. You can also obtain the VCA-certificate (SCC). Will you join us?
Frequently Asked Questions
Experience is often preferred, especially with tractors and agricultural machinery. If you have less experience, we will look at whether you can learn the trade in practice.
You work with tractors in combination with, for example, trailers, mowers, plows, or spreaders. This depends on the type of work and the season.
You can work in the agricultural sector, contracting, green maintenance, and sometimes with municipalities or contractors.
The work is less physically demanding than manual labor, but it does involve long days and requires a lot of concentration. You spend a lot of time on the machine and often work independently.
Yes. AB Midden Nederland supports you at the start and remains involved during your work. You can always contact us with questions.
The salary of a tractor driver depends on several factors, such as your experience, the tasks you perform, and the applicable collective labor agreement (CAO). In many cases, you are classified according to the agricultural CAO. If you operate additional machines or have extra certificates, this can influence your wage.
At AB Midden Nederland, we look together at what fits your experience and the client.
Yes, in most cases you need a valid tractor driving license (category T) to work as a tractor driver. Sometimes proven experience is sufficient, but this varies per client and type of work. If you do not yet have the license, we are happy to think along with you about training opportunities or alternative roles where you can gain experience.
