Head of Engineering

The organisation

Since the advent of electric cars, a major change has been taking place. Combustion engines are becoming obsolete and driving on (green) electricity is growing every year. To charge all those cars, you need charging stations. But if different companies supply the city with charging stations and with power, who keeps track?

This company knows how to manage that. It offers solutions in the huge spider web that is the world of charging stations, energy transactions, and smart cities. They do this by connecting the dots between CPO’s, eMSP’s and other parties involved. Their SaaS-platforms are unique and state of the art.

The position

Electric driving is the future. The demand for electric vehicles is rising exponentially. And so is the requirement to organize the infrastructure around it. How will the charging be regulated? Who pays for it? Where does the power come from? You can have a say in that. But do you dare to do that?

We are looking for a Head of Development. In this role, you are going to manage 30 developers. 25 back-end developers, 3 front-end Developers, and 2 Dev-Ops specialists. Please know that this team is quickly growing.

You will mainly be focused on the people and building the best Development Department possible. This means getting a better structure in place and putting people in the right place. And communicating the strategy, direction and plans clearly to the Development Department but also to the other departments within the company. You will also be part of the MT right below the owners of the company. You are of course going to defend the interests of the Development Department within this MT. It’s 100% management, so no hands-on coding.

Candidate profile

Yes, that sounds like me! What skills do I need? 

First of all, of course, the energy transition has to energize yourself as well. Furthermore, you have to have demonstrable experience as a Head of Development or Engineering Manager. Or another management position within IT. You are strong when it comes to people management but also setting out vision, structures, and strategies. And also explaining them.

The offer

Aside from working at the market leader in Europe, in an ambitious team at a very nice office in Rotterdam, you get paid up to € 8.000 gross per month as a base salary depending on your experience. Furthermore, a bonus scheme (around 8%) and SAR scheme would allow you to participate within the company. Lastly, all secondary benefits are taken care of as well, like a pension scheme, plenty of holiday days (38 days in total) and nice company lunches.
