Must-haves for this job

Why is this job for you?

  • You obtained a certificate of technical secondary education (after 4 years) or vocational secondary education (after 6 years) (OK3), or you have equivalent relevant work experience.
  • It is a plus if you have experience as a turner/miller.
  • You have an affinity with CNC/machining.
  • It is often millimetre work and this does not deter you; on the contrary, you like to work accurately and have a great sense of responsibility.
  • You like working alone or in a small team.
  • You are eager to expand your knowledge and competences through training.
  • You work in a varied work schedule with early, late, day and night shifts. You also work 1 weekend per month.

Salary and extra-legal benefits

  • Your salary will periodically continue to increase within the applicable salary scale.
  • Meal vouchers of €6.50 per day worked.
  • Allowances for Saturday, Sunday and night work.
  • Annual bonus, holiday pay, bilingualism and productivity bonuses.
  • Hospitalisation insurance.
  • A train pass, discounts on international train travel and a bicycle allowance.
  • Benefits for your family: including free train tickets, affordable holiday camps and discounts on family activities and in retail chains.

Vacation days

Within NMBS, there is not one uniform leave system for everyone. The number of leave days depends on your position, working regime and status. In general, employees receive at least the statutory vacation days, supplemented by so-called credit days and other compensation days. According to NMBS itself, an employee receives "at least 20 vacation days, supplemented by credit days".

In practice, you often see combinations such as:

  • 20 statutory vacation days
  • additional credit days
  • possibly compensation days for a 36-hour week or specific working-hour arrangements
  • public holidays and any replacement days according to the applicable scheme

As a result, many employees end up with:

  • approximately 33 days (20 + 13 credit days),
  • or even 35 to 40 days depending on the position and working system.

For operational positions (train driver, train attendant, signal box personnel, etc.), the planning of leave is often linked to staffing levels and duty rosters. As a result, taking leave can sometimes be less flexible than in a traditional office environment.

As an NMBS employee, you can generally also make use of:

  • sick leave according to the applicable HR Rail/NMBS regulations;
  • parental leave and other thematic leaves;
  • career interruption or time credit according to the statutory and sectoral provisions;
  • exceptional leave for certain family events

You will work in the Melle Multipurpose Workshop. Approximately 300 employees work in this workshop on the maintenance, inspection, repair and cleaning of diesel traction equipment and electric equipment. The workshop was put into use in October 2018 and is easily accessible.

How do you help make a difference?

As a CNC operator, you play a key role in guaranteeing the safety of rail traffic.

What is your role?

Did you know that a train drives over the underfloor wheel lathe in its entirety? This means that the wheels do not have to be dismantled to be reprofiled.

  • You drive the train to the underfloor wheel lathe.
  • You operate the CNC machine.
  • You measure and reprofile the train wheels.
  • You comply with all safety rules.

Every day, the employer transports nearly one million passengers, safely, punctually and with a warm smile. They buy or build, manage and maintain their own trains and buildings. Sustainability is the common thread running through all their activities.

As a public service provider, the employer wants to play a key role in the field of mobility and thus form an essential link in the socioeconomic sphere.

Diversity and inclusion are important to Accent. Whoever, whatever or however you are or whatever you stand for, it's your talents that make the difference.
