Bringing train sets without passengers to their destination in a safe and efficient manner; you make it happen!
Before our NS trains are 'released' onto the Dutch tracks, mechanics and cleaners have already given the train sets a thorough overhaul. We do this in various teams in NS service companies throughout the Netherlands. As a machinist at Onderhoud & Service, you ensure that the train sets are brought to the right place at the right time so that passengers can travel without delay in a clean and safe train.

We inspect, repair, and clean trains on a regular basis. From the outside and the inside. In the role of machinist at Onderhoud & Service, you play an important role in this process. By driving the train sets to the right destination at the right time, you complete the job. Ultimately, you are co-responsible for the safe and punctual departure of the train. You know how to achieve this successfully, partly through the use of collaborative qualities and stress resistance when:

• Shunting train sets without passengers.
• Assembling trains.
• Operating the train wash installation, where all trains are cleaned externally.
• Collaborating with different teams (for example, mechanics, cleaners, work planners).
• Ensuring quality and safety: your most important pillars.
• Thinking along and designing new work processes that lead to more efficiency.

It happens in Eindhoven; that is where we shunt our trains. You will do this in a small team of 10 enthusiastic machinists who support each other where necessary. You will work in a roster with irregular shifts (early, late, night).
