Must-haves for this job

Why is this job something for you?

You have a secondary education diploma in technical or vocational education (OK4) or an equivalence certificate. Do you not have a diploma, but do you have at least 2 years of relevant experience? Do not hesitate to apply.

  • You have a category B driving licence to travel to different locations in a fully equipped van.
  • You have good knowledge of mechanics and can easily carry out mechanical measurements.
  • You work in an organised manner, take responsibility and always put safety first.
  • You work day shifts and are willing to work longer when necessary.
  • You communicate fluently, work well independently as well as in a team, and remain solution-oriented in stressful situations.

A category C driving licence and basic knowledge of French are a plus.

Salary and extra-legal benefits

  • Your salary will periodically continue to evolve 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 bonus.
  • Hospitalisation insurance.
  • A train pass, discounts on international train travel and a bicycle allowance.
  • Benefits for your family: including free train tickets, advantageous holiday camps and discounts on family activities and in retail chains.

Vacation days

There is no single uniform leave system for everyone within the company. The number of leave days depends on your position, work schedule and status. In general, employees receive at least the statutory vacation days, supplemented by so-called credit days and other compensatory days. According to the employer itself, an employee receives "a minimum of 20 vacation days, supplemented by credit days".

In practice, you often see combinations such as:

  • 20 statutory vacation days
  • additional credit days
  • possibly compensatory days for a 36-hour workweek or specific working-time arrangements
  • public holidays and any replacement days according to the applicable regulations

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 work schedule.

For operational positions (train driver, train conductor, signal box personnel, etc.), leave planning 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 employee, you can generally also make use of:

  • sick leave according to the applicable regulations;
  • parental leave and other thematic leave;
  • career interruption or time credit according to the statutory and sectoral provisions;
  • special leave for certain family events

You first follow a training course in Melle (theory) and Antwerp (practical – Noorderlaan 630, 2030 Antwerp). After the training, you are often on the road to interventions in the Antwerp and/or Melle region (depending on your place of residence).

How do you help make a difference?

As a technician in the mobile team, you intervene on site to carry out repairs to freight wagons in trains. This way, you guarantee our customers maximum availability of their freight wagons.

What is your role?

  • Repairing damaged freight wagons.
  • Replacing defective or worn parts.
  • Carrying out minor preventive maintenance work.
  • Checking freight wagons for safety aspects.

You will learn about the different types of freight wagons during on-the-job training. This training takes place in Melle (theory) and Antwerp (practical). After completing the training, your work region will be Antwerp and/or Melle (depending on your place of residence).

Every day, the employer ensures that almost one million passengers reach their destination safely, comfortably and on time. In addition, the organization itself is responsible for the purchase and construction of trains and buildings, as well as for their management and maintenance. Sustainability plays an important role in this. As a public service provider, the employer wants to take a pioneering role in the mobility sector and make an important contribution to society and the economy.

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.
