Requirements

What we're looking for

You have at least an MBO level 3 diploma or higher in a technical field, such as mechanical engineering, mechatronics, or electrical engineering.
You have at least 1 year of experience in an operational leadership role, preferably within a technical or production environment.
You are a people-oriented leader who communicates clearly and knows how to motivate, connect, and involve employees in changes.
You have an affinity with technology and an eye for quality, safety, and continuous improvement.
You think in terms of possibilities, take initiative, and know how to bring different interests together on the shop floor.
You have knowledge of Lean or are open to further developing yourself in this area.

The role

Where you will work

It happens in Haarlem. In the largest NS workshop, about four hundred colleagues work on maintaining and modernizing trains. You will start working in the In/Out department, the central starting and ending point of our projects. This is where trains arrive for inspection and preparation. After the work is completed, they return here for final checks and commissioning.

You work with a team of approximately twenty colleagues. In addition, you work in a rotating roster, alternating between early and late weeks. So, you work early one week and late the next, within working hours of 07:00 to 23:50. Thanks to your team's commitment, short lines of communication, and good handovers, you can always count on each other.

These are the job requirements

You have experience as a leader in an operational environment and feel at home in a technical working environment. You maintain an overview, take your team along in changes, and work together with them on a safe and smooth operation.

These are the employment conditions

Working at NS means that you can make *the* difference in the world of sustainable mobility. You are part of an organization that is at the heart of society and keeps the Netherlands moving.
But as one of the largest employers in the Netherlands, we have so much more to offer you. For this position, this includes:

A salary between € 2,985 and € 4,807 (scale 58) gross per month (based on a 36-hour work week).
A 36-hour work week.
144 hours of statutory leave (based on full-time employment) + extra leave depending on age (at least one week).
3% end-of-year bonus, 8% holiday allowance, and an excellent pension scheme.
Your train travel in 2nd class is free; travel in 1st class is possible with a small contribution.
Your family travels for free during off-peak hours.
Discount on European train travel once you have worked at NS for 1 year.
Professional development opportunities.
A choice plan including, among others, a bicycle plan, extra pension accrual, or extra vacation days.
