After all, we work primarily for others and for each other. That feeling of having made a difference is hard to beat.

A RIB team has about 40-50 alarms per year. On average, each alarm takes about an hour. How your standby time is organized varies. Ideally, we prefer that you have standby duty for whole weeks, but depending on where you live and work, it may also be possible to have standby duty in the evenings, nights, or during the day.

• you are at least 18 years old
