VHB Group is a close-knit family business with over 90 years’ experience in engineering, recycling and heavy machinery. Across our various companies, we have over 220 colleagues working at NRC, Aerinnova and Rock Solid UK. What we excel at: maximising the recovery of valuable metals from bottom ash. And we do this in a way that is innovative, efficient and sustainable. Think of 8 Eiffel Towers’ worth of iron, 120,000 kilometres of copper wire or 1.5 billion soft drink cans per year… that is the scale of the raw materials we recover annually.

WORKING AT VHB GROUP
At NRC, you’ll work at large international recycling plants across Europe. At Aerinnova in Gameren and Brakel, you’ll work alongside colleagues to further process and sort metals. No two days are the same, and there’s always work to be done. In our workshop, we’re working on the plants of tomorrow; this is where we design, build and maintain our recycling plants.
Whether you’re a machine operator, fitter, welder, team leader or project manager: at VHB, you’ll have the opportunity to progress. For example, towards a role as a team leader, specialist or manager, but also into other positions within NRC, Aerinnova or Rock Solid.
We’re a down-to-earth company where people work hard, but where colleagues can also count on one another. Large machines, international projects and a team that pulls together. That’s what working at VHB is all about.
