Planes hold no secrets for you, and you excel in dealing with people. You must be able to lead, motivate, and inspire them. This means you can effortlessly convey your ideas to your team.

Did you know that according to research, women are less likely to apply than men when they don't meet all the job requirements? What a shame. Because, in our view, 'the perfect candidate' is a myth. So, if you have the drive to grow in aspects of this role, we look forward to your application.
To perform this role, you will need a Schiphol pass that gives you access to the secure area at Schiphol-East. This may be a grey pass, or an orange pass with a black border. If necessary, we will apply for this on your behalf. If this pass not issued to you, for whatever reason, you will not be able to start in this position.
