What we offer
You'll be part of the TAQA team filled with energetic and international people that describe their colleagues as helpful, driven, knowledgeable and professional!
This vacancy concerns a contractor role.
Who are we
We focus on the on- and offshore production of oil and gas as well as the operation of two underground gas storage facilities. The latter are strategic assets in the reliable provision of gas in the Netherlands. Their importance will only increase in the coming years as the greater dependence on gas imports will mean domestic storage becomes key to maintaining security of supply.
The energy landscape in the Netherlands is changing, and TAQA is supporting the energy transition in two key ways: we are contributing to continuity of gas supply in the short-term as the transition agenda moves forward. We are also participating in large-scale sustainability developments such as hydrogen and green gas expertise center Investa and Porthos, a CO₂ capture and storage project.
Our success as a company depends on the engagement and passion of our people. Although our organization is large and global, locally we work with short reporting lines in an open and informal culture.
We strive for diversity when attracting talent to our organisation and give your personal development our full attention. In all we do, safety is our first priority. The safety and care of our people, as well as our surroundings and the environment.
