The role
You will join a technical workshop where, together with experienced colleagues, you maintain, repair, and make OV-fietsen ready for use again. You work without customer contact and can focus entirely on your craft. In this way, you ensure that our OV-fietsen remain in top condition and help our travelers on their way again with well-maintained OV-fietsen.
What you'll do
What do you do as a bicycle mechanic? You repair bicycles - naturally - but your job is very varied. On one bicycle, you tighten a pedal and you're done in five minutes. You take another bicycle apart to, for example, replace the bottom bracket. You work on all kinds of bicycles: from old commuter bikes and large step-through bikes to our own OV-fiets.
At the HUB location in Zaandam, you work in a technical workshop where only OV-fietsen are maintained and repaired. Unlike in a bicycle storage facility, there is no customer contact or service to travelers here.
Your duties consist mainly of repairing, inspecting, and making OV-fietsen ready for use. Additionally, you perform light administrative tasks, such as registering completed repairs and maintaining work orders.
How you'll work
You are available from Monday to Thursday from 08:30 to 17:00 and on Friday from 08:30 to 15:00. You work 38 hours per week and have a 30-minute break daily. You are a certified bicycle mechanic or have at least 1 year of relevant work experience. Due to the nature of the work, it is important that you are at least 18 years old.

About the company & team
Even as an experienced bicycle mechanic, you can continue to develop yourself at NS! You will learn from your colleagues and can make use of our enormous database of (online) courses. And because we continue to renew our OV-fietsen, you can go in all directions as a bicycle mechanic.
You work together with three experienced bicycle mechanics and the unit leader. They are your direct colleagues and you have close daily contact with them in the workshop.
