Through the cafeteria plan, you get extra flexibility to tailor your remuneration package to your needs, with options such as additional vacation days, extra insurance, gym memberships, and bicycle leasing.

7. Location and time-independent working: De Lijn values a good work-life balance and offers the possibility to arrange your work flexibly. You can work from the nearest De Lijn office or from home (max 2 days). However, it is expected that you will be present in Mechelen 1 to 2 times per week (can be multiple locations), depending on agreements with your manager and any meetings.

We are an important partner in the mobility debate, which can lead to exciting professional growth opportunities. Do you also want to work in a company with social impact that is at the forefront of flexibility, well-being, and sustainability?
