Our client is a technical company based in Nijkerk that acquired a new facility in Blerick in 2020. They have initiated a project for the Dutch Railways (NS) and are currently seeking technical experts. The company is committed to achieving maximum uptime at the lowest possible lifecycle costs. The main activities involve the maintenance and repair of rail vehicles and all associated systems. They provide comprehensive services to transport companies, maintenance services, and manufacturers, ensuring 24/7 support for their clients on-site or in their own workshop. The project you will be working on involves the repair and revision of approximately 150 NS trains, requiring the renewal of parts and repainting.

The Blerick facility is located by the railway and is easily accessible by bike, car, and public transportation. They offer travel expense reimbursement, making it convenient for individuals commuting from the municipalities of Roermond, Venray, and Peel en Maas.

For our client in Blerick, we are looking for a damage repair specialist for spot repair and painting of various trains.
