Expert Food Processing

Your application is for a place in our pool of experts for the Food Processing programme, not for a specific project. Once you've joined, you will be matched with up to three projects per year, either on location or remotely. Around one in three projects will be delivered as remote advice, though working solely on remote advisory projects is also possible.
On location, you’ll spend two weeks on-site with the client. PUM covers your flight and visa, while the client takes care of your accommodation, meals, and local transportation. You will also receive an expense allowance.
As PUM expert you not only share knowledge, you also:

• Empower entrepreneurs, supporting their journey toward sustainable and inclusive business development.

• Leave a lasting impact on the community: socially, environmentally, and economically.

• Turn your knowledge into a hands-on project plan.

• Expand your horizons at sector days and building a network that’s as diverse as it gets.

The expert role is a voluntary position. You can apply up to and including the calendar year in which you turn 69. PUM engages experts who reside in the Netherlands, are registered in the Municipal Personal Records Database (BRP), and have Dutch basic health insurance. Prescreening (VOG) is part of the selection process. At PUM, we celebrate diversity and inclusion as essential pillars of our organisation. We embrace the uniqueness of each individual to foster an environment where everyone can thrive by being their authentic selves.
