Say HI* to our Configuration Manager role

More than 85,000 colleagues worldwide work at Thales every day to make the world a safer place. In the Netherlands, around 2,500 people work for Thales, including about 250 in Thales Huizen. Here, we hold a leading position in critical radio and network communication, as well as Command & Control systems for defense applications and civil organizations.

We use a modern system, Windchill, to help us effectively manage the complexity of our projects.

• Broad knowledge base, operating at the intersection of product development, procurement, and production. It's essential to understand what's important for all departments.

• Able to easily connect with others, enabling smooth collaboration across various departments within the company.

• Good communication skills in fluent English and Dutch.
