In their own words
About the company & team
As a working team coordinator, you lead approximately 15 mechanics working on bogies, the chassis of a train. Thanks to your leadership on the shop floor, you meet the schedule and ensure quality and safety. You are the link between your team and the group leader. You identify problems and contribute to reports for management.
For half of your time, you work hands-on in the workshop yourself. You coordinate and perform repair and maintenance activities, such as repairing and adjusting train parts.
