Benk Projects

BENK PROJECTS is a specialised detachering company founded in 2010 and now operating from Rotterdam and Meppel with over 250 active specialists deployed across oil and gas and energy and infrastructure projects serving major operators and engineering firms. The company focuses exclusively on two technical market segments, oil and gas, and energy and infrastructure, enabling deeper client understanding and higher value delivery for candidates and commercial partners than generalist staffing agencies. Operating according to core values of integrity (integer), personal service (persoonlijk), and quality (kwaliteit), BENK PROJECTS pursues sustainable relationships with clients and employees through niche-focused expertise, end-to-end project delivery, and commitment to continuous organisational improvement reflecting both customer and employee needs.

The company manages complex project cycles including project coordination on wet infrastructure and underground infrastructure projects, procurement and buyer roles, construction and multidisciplinary management on industrial sites including refineries and tank terminals, and engineering leadership on energy network modernisation projects for major grid operators. BENK PROJECTS emphasises sustainable relationships with customers and employees as the central aspect of service delivery, with internal organisation constantly evolving to provide optimal engagement. The focus on niche approaches rather than broad consulting enables specialists to deliver higher added value whilst maintaining personal attention and short decision-making lines benefiting both candidates and client organisations.

Founders John Keijzer and Joey van Berkel grew the company from a small operation to an enterprise supporting daily deployment of over 250 specialists, building a reputation grounded in core values reinforced consistently by customers and employees throughout their tenure. Continuing commitment to these foundational principles whilst enabling healthy business growth and team expansion reflects philosophical commitment to sustainable business practices prioritising people and lasting relationships over maximised short-term financial gain.
