  • You communicate clearly and proactively, work well both independently and in a team, and naturally take ownership of your work.
  • You enjoy sharing knowledge, coaching others, and acting as a technical reference without losing your hands-on focus.
  • Languages: English, Dutch, and French – working knowledge of all three required
