New Construction Elevator Supervisor

From the first site visit to completion, there lies your result: You ensure that people, planning, and execution come together at the right time.

As a New Construction Elevator Supervisor, you will guide approximately 75 projects per year in the Eindhoven region. On average, you will be on-site 4 days per week and spend 1 day on preparation, planning, and internal coordination.

This means you are close to the execution, communicate frequently with contractors and technicians, and see the direct result of your work.

Your role

No two days or projects are the same. One morning you might walk a construction site with a site manager to assess if everything is ready for installation. Later that day, you might discuss progress with a technician or solve a bottleneck together with colleagues.

• You are the fixed point of contact for your projects and monitor progress, planning, quality, safety, and costs. In doing so, you look ahead: what is needed to keep the project on schedule, where are the risks, and what actions need to be initiated now?
• You visit your projects multiple times during the construction process. You check whether the structural situation aligns with what is required for the elevator installation and maintain contact with contractors, site managers, and other involved parties.
• At the same time, you ensure that colleagues within KONE know exactly what is happening. You coordinate, among others, with Planning, Engineering, Sales, and Backoffice, and ensure that actions are followed up.
• You work closely with our independently working installation technicians. You ensure that they can perform their work safely and correctly and that the site conditions are correct.
• Additionally, you perform safety inspections and quality audits and provide support where necessary regarding questions or challenges on-site.

You do not need to have all the answers yourself. Precisely as a Supervisor, you know whom to involve, when to coordinate, and how to ensure a project moves forward. This combination gives you a lot of freedom, variety, and ownership.

• We are looking for someone who welcomes responsibility and enjoys organizing multiple projects simultaneously.
• You have a higher professional education (HBO) level of working and thinking and/or relevant work experience.
• You can easily switch between different people and interests and know how to maintain an overview at the same time.
• Technical affinity helps, but you do not need to be an elevator specialist yet. You will learn the specific knowledge about our elevators, processes, and systems within KONE.
• You live in the Eindhoven region (within a 40KM radius)

More importantly, you are decisive, accessible, and solution-oriented. You address people when necessary, but also know how to create collaboration.

What do you get from us?

• A salary between €4000 and €5700 gross (depending on knowledge and experience) and a bonus scheme;
• A future with the market leader in the Netherlands and an international player in the field of moving people in buildings and cities;
• Plenty of room for your own input, personal growth, and development: a 'Great Place To Work';
• Generous leave: 41 days (27 vacation days, 13 ADV days, 1 sustainable employability day);
• Company car, phone, and laptop;
• 'Lease a Bike': Whether you have your eye on a speed pedelec, electric cargo bike, e-bike, or racing bike: it's all possible!
• Half of your pension is paid by us;
• Training and education via 'De KONE Academy' and career opportunities within an international global player;
• Discounts on subscriptions (fitness), tickets for amusement parks, etc.;
• Working from home with all necessary facilities or at our office locations with good facilities and parking spaces;
• A great deal of autonomy, freedom, and responsibility at one of the most innovative companies according to Forbes.

Do you recognize yourself in a large part of this profile, but not in everything? Then please apply. We look not only at your current experience, but also at what you can learn and contribute.

You work on dozens of projects that you actually see being created. You walk onto a construction site where work is still in full swing and later see a fully installed elevator that is delivered safely and according to agreement. There lies your result: You have ensured that people, planning, and execution came together at the right time.

Ready for your next project? Do you want to spend a lot of time outdoors, carry responsibility for your own projects, and work in a role where technology, construction, and people come together? Then we would love to meet you!
