**Where will you work?**

BauWatch has become a household name with any party looking to temporarily secure an outdoor location, in the Netherlands and now also in other European countries. Our solution and our dedicated team of 240 employees significantly reduce the risk of break-ins. Thus, in addition to increased security, we also ensure increased efficiency. We are unique because we do everything in-house: in-house production, in-house IT, in-house developers, in-house drivers, in-house... everything actually. Why do we do that? Because the quality of our services must be optimal, therefore outsourcing is not an option. The idea is that our products and associated (SaaS) software keep getting smarter. Continuous innovation is very important.
