No fuss

The Blue Crew sets itself apart with no fuss. We believe that on too many projects, legal, contractual and administrative processes get in the way of harmonious collaboration.

Teams

The Blue Crew distinguishes itself with teams. We strongly believe that deployment on an individual basis at both The Client and The Blue Crew is inefficient and ineffective. The Site manager directs the Foreman, whereafter the Foreman directs his own team.

Composition and steering

The Client and The Blue Crew B.V. shall consult (preferably with the project staff under whose control and supervision the skilled workers will be deployed) on the nature and scope of the activities, the available execution periode (schedule) and time windows. A team is proposed based on this consult.

Scaling-up and scaling-down

The Blue Crew B.V. and its partners have a large database of experienced skilled workers. In rotating compositions, the workers are familair with working on Dutch (and other International) projects, and most of the skilled workers also know each other personally.
The deployment of a new team on a new project usually takes 2 to 4 weeks at most. If a team needs to be scaled up then 1 or 2 weeks is normally required to fulfill this wish, this also applies for the scaling down of a team.

Rotation of the teams

Plannend and ad hoc rotation of (members of) teams is possible, this can only affect travel time and travel costs if the projects are more than 20 kilometers apart. In case of rotation, The Blue Crew B.V. will provide the documentation required for this purpose, such as A1 forms and Posted Workers.

Manual tools and materials

All the skilled workers have their own manual tools which are their own personal property. If desired, an overview of the (minimal) tools can be provided. Other tools can be provided for a fee.
All the systems, panels, components, materials, fasteners et cetera are provided by the client.

VCA

All partners of The Blue Crew B.V. have the VCA certificate and all skilled workers have a personal VCA certificate.

NEN 3140-instruction

At the discretion of the client, designation is in accordance with NEN 3140 will take place. Each worker is designated from the employer (the Polish partner) with the NEN 3140 part A instruction as Sufficiently Instructed Person and from the client with the NEN 3140 part B instruction. A instruction interview takes place prior to the work.

Safety – Wi-j doet ’t samen

The Blue Crew B.V. and its partners do not make any concessions when it comes to safety and working safely. On the first working day of the deployment of (any of) the skilled workers, a project-specific safety briefing will be provided (and recored) to each person, during the duration of the work, safety updates will be done at the same frquency as the client. The workers willl be required to attend the toolbox- and LMRA-sessions. The communication about this will be held in the English language (sometimes in the German language) with the Foreman(s).

Core values and anti-discrimination

The client, The Blue Crew B.V., its partners and all skilled workers follow anti-discrimination in all circumstances and apply the NBBU’s anti-discrimination policy, a model with the following core values:
– Do not judge, ask questions
– Convince with arguments and examples
– Ask for Confidence
– Take your responsibility

Performance Delivery

The Blue Crew B.V. distinguishes itself with performance delivery. We believe that the client can achieve project milestones and their own business objectives only by recording, reporting, monitoring and analyzing the hours worked by the skilled workers in correlation with the materials processed. Therefore, The Blue Crew B.V. proposes to the client to jointly monitor the performance by collecting information and gathering and analyzing the collected data:

Skilled Workers

Foreman(s)
Tester(s) and commissioner(s)
Chief engineer(s) and engineer(s)
Panel constructer(s)
Cable worker(s)
Ironworker(s)
Welders

Foreman(s)

These are experienced mechanics or ironworkers who are capable of managing the team and are fluent in both spoken and written English (sometimes German). The foreman is always on the projectsite and is the supervisor of the other skilled workers and the permanent contact for the client’s project manager. The foreman ensures the safety, progress, management, quality and reporting of the team.

Tester(s) and commissioner(s)

These are experienced technicians familiar with all common installations in the built environment, industry and infrastructure (e.g. hospitals (large and multifunctional) utility and industrial projects, complex infrastructure projects (tunnels, bridges and locks, et cetera). From ‘cold-wire’ testing to commissioning and the required reports.

Chief engineer(s) and engineer(s)

Chief engineer(s)
These are experienced master fitters who are capable of installing and assembling panels and components (high-voltage, low-voltage, IT, HVAC) completely independently. They carry out their work independently based on installation drawings and instructions. We have skilled workers with ATEX-certificaten.

Engineer(s)
These are experienced fitters or novice master fitter(s) who are capable of assembling and connecting less complex panels and components (high-voltage, low-voltage, IT, HVAC), e.g. lighting, fire alarm systems, intercom, broadcasting, CCTV, climate ceilings, etc. They execute the more straightforward tasks or work under the direct supervision of a chief engineer.

Panel constructer(s)

These are experienced panel builder(s) capable of installing, assembling, and connecting (prefab and/or tailor-made) panels at the project site. If (one of) our Polish partners manufactured the panels, then the same panel builder(s) are deployed on the project site in the Netherlands, this is usually for a shorter period than the other members of the team.

Cable worker(s)

These are experienced cable workers or starting mechanics (some with and some without experience abroad), they work under the direct supervision of the foremen.

Ironworker(s)

Ironworkers always work in teams of two, usually one experienced and one less experienced ironworker. They do assembly work that requires little or no electrical knowledge and skills. For example, assembly of cableways, foundations, pre-fab elements (from the workplace), piping, fitting, air ducts, HVAC elements, etc.

Welders

These are experienced and certified welders who are capable of working completely independently according to different welding methods, positioning and materials.
