Being an attractive, inclusive employer with equal opportunities for all

Alliander employs about 7,300 people (6,800 FTEs), including agency/contract workers, who all work together to ensure a reliable, affordable and accessible energy supply. These people are an indispensable link in the daily performance of our tasks.

Alliander acknowledges the importance of good employment practices and has the ambition to be a top-class employer, i.e. an inclusive place of employment where employees trust the people they work with, have opportunities for personal development, are proud of what they do, and work in a pleasant atmosphere with colleagues, customers, suppliers and partners to ensure the energy supply for a sustainable tomorrow.
