Installation Manager Electrical Safety Metro

A contractor is about to start with the energy supply for the metro. You will monitor this, assess the plans, and, if it is safe, give the signal to begin. As a strategic installation manager, you ensure that colleagues and partners work safely with electricity: from high voltage and low voltage to DC traction. This way, electrical safety within the metro area is consistently and demonstrably managed.

What you will do

You are the formally designated installation manager for both high and low voltage as well as the traction system. This means you set the guidelines for safe work. You give instructions to colleagues, explain what is needed to safely switch, work, or inspect, and you support them with clear guidelines and coaching. You keep safety documents, audits, and procedures up-to-date and ensure they align with practical realities.

You will be involved in major projects from the outset. Think of renewing rectifier stations or preparing an energy reinforcement to enable the growth of the metro network. You will review design choices, assess whether they comply with safety frameworks, and determine together with project teams what is needed to build and test safely. You will also identify risks, such as potential arc flash scenarios, and translate them into practical measures, training, and improvements in the safety policy.

Additionally, you ensure that training and instructions for employees working with electrical installations are up-to-date. You develop and improve teaching materials and align the safety handbook with daily practice. You work closely with colleagues from the switching watch, whom you functionally direct.

And sometimes the work requires quick decisions. For example, when there is water in a tunnel or when an energy supply fails. You will then maintain an overview, determine what is safe, and direct until the situation is under control. You move throughout the entire metro area and have a clear responsibility: if you doubt the safety, the work stops. It's that simple and that important is your role.

What you bring

We are looking for craftsmanship and the associated behavior. Do you recognize yourself in the following? Please apply, even if you don't tick all the boxes yet.

• You can assess (electro)technical risks
You have sufficient electrical engineering insight to analyze designs, modifications, and installations and to determine if they can be used safely. You clearly explain why something can or cannot be done, so that colleagues and contractors understand the choices needed in the metro area.
• You are strong in structure and assurance
You work meticulously and keep procedures, instructions, and safety documentation up-to-date. You can organize information and translate it into practical guidelines, so that audits and work processes demonstrably continue to meet the standards crucial for this role.
• You can coach people and involve them in safety
You know how to guide others in a clear, respectful manner. You point out desired behavior, provide examples, and help colleagues and contractors increase their safety awareness, for instance, by explaining why certain actions are risky and which alternatives are safer.
• You take responsibility and dare to make decisions
If a situation requires intervention, you don't shy away from it. You dare to stop work if safety requires it, and you can make decisions under time pressure. During failures or emergencies, you maintain an overview and choose a direction that reduces risk.
• You can exert influence without formal hierarchy
You functionally direct the switching watch and other safety roles. You do this by communicating clearly, monitoring frameworks, and assertively indicating what is needed—for example, when a switching operation or work situation does not comply with safety agreements.

Developable within the role

• Experience with high and low voltage or traction systems
• Familiarity with complex infrastructure environments such as public transport, energy, or aviation
• Certifications such as NEN 3140 / 3840 / 1010: are a bonus, but you can also obtain them with us.

What you can count on

You take good care of our travelers, so we take good care of you. You notice this in everything. We offer you:

• A salary of at least € 4,170,- and a maximum of € 6,004,- gross based on 36 hours per week (scale 10A). Placement will be based on experience and education.
• A 13th month's salary, 8% holiday pay, a 1.5% sustainable employability allowance, plus a well-arranged pension.
• Free unlimited travel with GVB public transport.
• You have an average of 21 days off per year, this depends on your age, and you can buy extra vacation days through our cafeteria model. This way, work and private life remain well-balanced.
• A contribution towards health insurance of € 84.91 per month.
• Various training and career development opportunities.

Your team

You will join a small but close-knit team within Rail Infrastructure, together with an asset manager, three maintenance engineers, and an inspector. Together, you will safeguard the safety and reliability of the energy supply and installations for the metro, both now and for the future. The atmosphere is open, collegial, and expert: everyone brings their own specialization and strengthens each other. You fulfill an independent, strategic role within this whole, but you are never alone.
