What would your function look like?
As a Technical Manager, you are responsible for the technical progress and quality of the team. You are responsible for ensuring workshop safety and safety around the car. You also take technical responsibility for tests- and track days. Managing the different engineers is one of your daily tasks, and you ensure that the work of the different sub-groups comes together. This means that you review a lot of work and are aware of everything that happens on the technical side. So you keep an overview of the whole car and you know all the ins and outs of each part. For this, you are in close contact with the Project Manager, and you make decisions that are important for the progress of the project. In addition, you are in contact with various partners who help us on the technical side and you lead the technical meetings.
Day in the life of Thomas Kuijpers, our Technical Manager:
The day is started with a ‘daily standup’. After
this update, I usually go into a meeting involving the engineers or the board.
Then, I check the Trello board to see what the engineers are doing currently
and if I can review some of the work. I finish my action points that come out
of the meetings. I talk with the engineers about issues they are having wrt.
their tasks. It means to be successful if the engineers can continue their work
smoothly because of my input.
What do you get back?
- A unique year where you work with a group of ambitious students towards one goal
- A diverse team with whom you often do fun things
- The chance to build a network within the automotive world
- The perfect opportunity to complement your CV with this work experience
- Different trainings offered by our partners
- Enough freedom, but also set goals to make your year together with your team a success
