Do you want to kickstart your career in an international high-tech environment?

About the job

As a Thales trainee you will be trained for a steep learning curve, to advance your career within Thales quickly. We will provide you with the tools to grow into an internal position with impact. Not just during one assignment, mind you, since you will work on three interdisciplinary assignments within approximately two years. And when you’re done? You’ll land a challenging job within Thales!

The assignments

The subjects you will work on are existing, interdisciplinary and challenging, based on a ‘real need’ and results. This gives you immediate responsibilities and exposure to (senior) management, the organization and external parties. As much as possible, you will have influence on the choice of your assignments. As a new trainee you will start your first, eight month, assignment at our headquarters in Hengelo, this also includes the introduction period together with the other trainees. Together you will form a learning team coached by our external partner.

The second and third assignment both last six months and can take place at any one of our sites (Hengelo, Huizen, Eindhoven, Delft, Amersfoort), an international Thales site or at one of our customers.

The three assignments you go through as a trainee each have a different focus area, namely technical/operational, strategic and project-related. Besides that you will work on a Thales NL strategic project for all trainees to collaborate on.

Some examples of assignments are:

Reorganize the Sales Administration team
New Product Introduction (NPI) Procurement
New Performance Indicator (PI) over data driven decision making
Mid Term Industrial Plan
Country Strategic Plan
Build a ‘business case’ database consisting of ideas for future industrial cooperation projects
Lead an improvement initiative concerning our internal bid process
Sales & Operations planning improvements
Implement a collaborative way of working that will reach across departments
Manage a customer project

About you
