Work Supervisor Rolling Stock South Region

Within your region, you are functionally responsible for the safe execution of electrotechnical activities on rolling stock. In doing so, you work according to the frameworks of VWEI, Safe Working on Electrical Installations.

On behalf of the PDM, you monitor electrical safety during activities on high and low voltage installations. You not only assess whether procedures are being followed, but also critically examine whether instructions, training, and working methods are feasible in practice.

Specifically, you will be involved in:

• monitoring compliance with laws and regulations regarding electrotechnical activities;
• assessing and improving safety protocols, work instructions, and job descriptions;
• designating employees who are permitted to perform electrotechnical activities;
• checking whether technicians possess the correct VWEI training and authorizations;
• contributing to VWEI-related training and instructions;
• advising colleagues and managers on electrical safety;
• promoting and further professionalizing the VWEI policy;
• collaborating with other Work Supervisors to share knowledge, working methods, and experiences.

You are visible on the shop floor, know the technical practice, and know when to advise, adjust, or intervene. Safety is always the top priority.

• Because you work on high and low voltage installations in a complex railway environment.
• Because you have a lot of independence and at the same time work closely with other Work Supervisors.
• Because you make a concrete contribution to the craftsmanship and safety of technicians.

Your base location is OB Maastricht or SB Eindhoven, where you will become part of the Support department. From this location, you will work independently on VWEI-related topics for the South Region.

You work together with technicians, managers, trainers, and fellow Work Supervisors. Although you have a lot of individual responsibility, you are never alone. Together, you ensure a working environment in which technicians can work on the equipment safely and professionally.

You work from Monday to Friday, from 08:00 to 16:30.

You are an experienced electrotechnical professional who not only considers safety important but also acts upon it. You address colleagues when necessary, explain technical and safety topics clearly, and remain calm when interests or deadlines are under pressure.

In addition, you possess:

• at least a completed MBO-4 education in electrotechnics, or demonstrable HBO level of work and thinking;
• at least five years of work experience with rail vehicles;
• knowledge of safety measures for activities in, on, or near high and low voltage installations;
• knowledge of and experience with NEN 3140 and NEN 3840;
• knowledge of LOTO(TO), work permits, and associated processes and methodologies;
• good oral and written communication skills.

You are a good fit for this position if you work carefully, stand firm in your shoes, and can translate technical rules into clear and workable agreements for practice.
