You don't have any experience doing this? That's no problem. In the first few weeks, we'll let you work in a team that knows are the tricks of the trade and can teach you all you need to know. If you are a jack-of-all-trades, you will quickly be able to build homes in a single day.

what do we offer you?

First off: we offer you a clear mission: to revolutionize the construction industry and make sure a beautiful, quality home becomes accessible to anyone. At Skilpod, you don't have to be some kind of techie from Silicon Valley to innovate. We believe everyone can help make a product better and smarter.

And also:

pleasant working conditions

With the exception of the on-site teams, all our employees work in the same pleasant location. Our workshop is in Geel, in a low-traffic area next to the canal. At the start of your first workday, you'll get your toolkit, equipped with top brands. And inside our workshop, you'll never have to suffer through the whims of our Belgian weather.

flexibility

We work with flexible hours and don't adhere strictly to the official construction leave periods. Unless of course, you prefer to take your holidays then. For jobs that are not bound to a location (in our workshop or on a construction site), working from home is possible.

a job with a future

Because Skilpod is growing at lightning speed, we are the perfect environment for you to grow along with us. You'll get all the training you need and we always promote internally first.

a salary in line with your capabilities

Skilpod pays a decent and fair salary, based on what you contribute to our mission. We're also open to working with you as an independent contractor if this suits you better.

a fun, motivated and young team

Ok, we may be slightly biased, but we're convinced we're all great people to work with. This is because we're all invested in that single mission and our noses are all in the same direction. And maybe the internal team party budget also makes working here more fun...
