Freelance cloud engineer in Dordrecht? Find your next assignment via Maedium

Dordrecht's assignment market has a practical, operational bent. The city hosts manufacturing, shipbuilding-related companies, logistics and a broad SME base. These organisations are modernising their IT and increasingly connecting production and logistics systems to modern, cloud-based applications. For you as a freelancer that means concrete work: setting up scalable cloud environments, migrating existing systems and making the connection between old and new manageable.

If you like application-oriented work with directly visible results, you'll find assignments in Dordrecht where you genuinely make a difference to operations. Experience with cloud migrations, hybrid setups and practical automation is valuable here. Dordrecht lies close to Rotterdam and is well accessible from the wider region.

What do you earn as a freelance cloud engineer in Dordrecht? Your hourly rate depends on your experience, your specialisation and the weight of the assignment. As an indication, excluding VAT:

• Medior: roughly €51–€71 per hour
• Senior: roughly €66–€91 per hour
• Lead / specialist: up to €106+ per hour for scarce profiles

Scarce specialisations — multi-cloud, Kubernetes at scale, cloud security, FinOps — sit at the top of the market. In Dordrecht rates sit around the national average. If you work via Maedium, we agree the rate clearly in advance — you know exactly what you receive per hour, with no surprises.

As an independent professional you want to work without worries — and since the Dutch Tax Authority resumed enforcement on false self-employment, a correct setup matters more than ever. Maedium arranges that for you, in two ways:

• Brokerage. We connect you with the client, after which you contract directly with them. We facilitate the match and, if desired, take over invoicing via factoring. You retain full autonomy as an entrepreneur.
• Intermediation. The contract runs through Maedium: we contract you and the client. Handy for longer assignments or when the client wants extra certainty around the DBA Act. You remain self-employed — no employment, no payroll tax.

Which form fits depends on the assignment and your own preference. We discuss it honestly with you, so you always get to work compliantly and with peace of mind.

Maedium is a specialised brokerage agency for freelance IT specialists in the Randstad. We work with one fixed point of contact — Nick — who genuinely gets to know you: your specialisation, your preferences and the kind of assignment that makes you happy. No anonymous database, but personal contact and honest matches.

Sign up and we'll discuss your profile and your wishes. As soon as a suitable cloud engineer assignment comes up in Dordrecht or the surrounding area, we connect you specifically with the client. We broker exclusively in cloud and network specialisms, so you end up with a party that understands your field.
