Variety and dynamism

A wink for the toddler who steps into your tram in amazement. A signal to the tourist who doesn't realize they have already reached their destination. It's the small things that matter. Things that make passengers happy, and that give you a pleasant workday. Perhaps with your customer focus you find it quite normal. Our passengers find it special! No day is the same, every journey is different. Yes, this is Amsterdam. Even better: this is your new job. Because you are a tram driver at GVB!

Every day you have a lot of contact with all kinds of different people. Tourists, commuters, students, day-trippers with diverse backgrounds and ages board. All on their way to their own destination. And you help them get there. You do this in a hospitable and friendly way, in which you of course present yourself professionally, but there is enough room for a personal touch.

A tram driver is never alone

As a tram driver you never truly work alone. Often you work together with a tram conductor. Together you are a team and make sure the journey runs smoothly. In addition, a whole team stands beside you. Think of traffic control, team management, planners and, of course, other fellow tram drivers and conductors. You meet them on the road and during your breaks at one of the 'terminals' in the city. We are proud of this team spirit, through which we work together with great pleasure on an accessible Amsterdam.

This is what you bring

You have a strong sense of responsibility and you are stress-resistant. In addition:

• You are at least 18 years old and – due to safety requirements – between 1.65 and 2.00 meters tall;
• You have at least MBO level 3 work and thinking level;
• You speak good Dutch and are eligible for a Certificate of Conduct (VOG);
• You can (possibly with glasses or contact lenses) see traffic, colors and signals excellently.

What we offer you

• Signing bonus: Temporarily we offer you, for the position of tram driver, a signing bonus of €1,500 net (subject to conditions)
• A clear schedule: You have a clear schedule with flexible shifts of up to 8.45 hours. During your work experience phase you are scheduled based on your availability. With this clarity about your working hours, you can align your work and private life well.

You see our buses, metros, trams and ferries. But we are more than that. Behind the scenes lies a dynamic world in which our employees, in all kinds of roles, ensure that the city remains accessible. As an employer, we want to connect every employee with our course: making an important contribution to a liveable and accessible city. Are you coming along?
