Site Manager Rail

Function

• As site manager, you take on the day-to-day leadership of sites for rail infrastructure, with a focus on overhead lines, assembly works, foundations and supporting steel structures.
• The schedule becomes your workable overview: you align activities, materials, machinery and subcontractors so that the team can work safely and in accordance with agreements.
• You typically manage a team of 8 to 10 fitters and railway workers. Clear instructions, consistent follow-up and respectful communication ensure strong collaboration on site.
• You resolve technical challenges independently, including during night-time interventions. You assess the situation, make a well-founded decision and keep the relevant parties informed.
• Digital daily reports, material orders, work preparation and toolbox meetings form part of your responsibilities. This keeps the execution traceable and allows the project team to make timely adjustments.
• Safety is central to every decision. You monitor procedures, address people when necessary and create a working environment in which risks remain open for discussion.
• You work primarily directly on sites spread across Belgium and visit the office environment in Mechelen for consultation and coordination on average approximately once every two weeks.

Profile

• A technical or construction-related qualification at bachelor's or graduate level provides a solid foundation. Relevant experience in construction, electromechanics, assembly or rail infrastructure is also considered.
• You ideally bring 5 to 10 years of experience in a technical site environment, of which experience in coordinating activities or managing teams is a clear added value.
• Technical insight into mechanical structures, foundations, steelwork or electrical infrastructure helps you to identify connections quickly and set the right priorities.
• As a people manager, you combine clear boundaries with a fair and approachable style. This is important for building trust with experienced tradespeople while safeguarding quality and safety.
• You are willing to work nights and weekends on a regular basis. The schedule is generally known approximately four weeks in advance; a driving licence and willingness to travel to various sites are essential for this role.

• You receive compensatory days off according to the schedule, in addition to the usual leave periods such as the construction holiday and a collective closure around Christmas.
