The Development is responsible for realising and materialising the ideas into a refined artwork. No days are the same, nor are the projects.

• Solving technical solutions

• Researching new materials or production techniques

• Outlining and executing production processes

• Working alongside motivated colleagues on various projects throughout the day

• Effective problem-solving skills and a commitment to resolving technical and/or aesthetic challenges efficiently.

• The ability to work as part of a team, collaborating with colleagues from diverse backgrounds to help build the DRIFT museum opening this year.

• You are doing an Art, Design, or Technical Education (higher vocational or university level) in which you specialise in one of the above-mentioned fields.

• Excellent in English and preferably Dutch.

• A passion for technology and art

• Eligibility to work in the Netherlands with a valid visa or permit (hard requirement)
