technical people
“Technical people are the heart of the rail industry. We desperately need these women and men to maintain the 7000 km of track we have in the Netherlands. By drawing up a work and learning trajectory, potential new mechanics immediately know what working at the railway entails and whether it suits them. This allows us to connect new people to the railways,” says Raymond van Hattem, (former) HR director at ProRail. At ProRail, more than 5500 employees contribute to the mobility of the Netherlands. They are our most important asset in realizing Prorail's performance. The HR ambition is to make ProRail a fantastic organization to work in. An organization that is people-oriented and where enthusiasm is given space and possibilities.
