Linux/Unix project engineer Contractor for Holland wanted ASAP

WhiteWashMan

OK, i have an opportunity for a happy go lucky person who fills all these nice criteria! or even most of them to be honest.
Its based in The Hague (I think) in holland, so yes, theres lots of coffee shops and frothy beer and red light districts, but its also a chance to work in one ofthe largest companies in the world. We have an engineer on site who went for this '3-6' month contract, and he is still on site over 18 months later, and is working on cutting edge Linux projects.
drop me a PM if you are interested.
if you have questions, put them here.

Person is required immediately, its a contract position, so if you are contracting you will know what this means. If youarent, you probably wont get yourself sorted in time.

I dont have many details other than what you have here, so i will only follow up in depth queries with people who are really interested and send em their CV. In other words, I wouldnt mind sending someone next week type thing
I cannot tell you about flights etc. it may be that we pay them, i dont know.

pay.....

I have been given some figures of 180 a day to 220 depending on experience. thats your funny european euros
This is negotiable.

I will try to reply to people, however, if you ppost up asking something that has already been pointed out, i will ignore it and you can assume the info is there.

An up to date cv and your current situation, ie ability to contract at the drop of a hat will convince me youre serious.
asking if joints are included free (and no they arent )
