Data Specialist - Parts

We offer you an Ocean of Possibilities. Join our family.

Do you get energy from cleaning up technical data, organizing it logically, and making it usable? Do you understand how a parts library or database works and do you enjoy figuring out how things can be improved? Then this position at Damen Marine Components is interesting for you.

As a Data Specialist Parts, you ensure that data regarding parts is recorded completely, reliably, and logically. You work at the intersection of technology, logistics, engineering, and production planning.
You will further develop our parts library and make it future-proof. You will map out which parts and information are available, how they relate to one another, and where data is missing or can be supplemented. In this way, you ensure a clear and reliable foundation for the future. This is not a temporary project, but a structural position in which you will also continue to manage and improve the data.

• Create, modify, classify, clean up, and phase out part data.
• Implement structure in part numbering, characteristics, and lifecycle statuses.
• Recognize and phase out duplicate parts.
• Stimulate the reuse of existing parts.
• Check product structures, bills of materials, and missing data.
• Retrieve and correctly process HS codes and other product codings. You do not need to know these by heart, but you do need to know where to find reliable information.
• Think along about the design of databases and digital systems.
• Analyze and practically solve problems and deviations.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Purchasing, Production, Logistics, Production Planning, and Service.

A practical and digital position

You won't just be working behind a screen. To properly understand the data, you actively seek out colleagues and the shop floor. You ask questions, investigate where information comes from, and help users with an appropriate solution. That's why we're looking for someone who finds software and data interesting, but who also enjoys being hands-on.
