About Damen

Damen Workboats is één van de kerndivisies binnen de Damen Shipyards Group en dé wereldwijde specialist in werkvaartuigen. Vanuit Gorinchem ontwerpen, bouwen en leveren wij een breed portfolio aan onder meer tugboats, crew transfer vessels, patrol vessels en fast supply vessels. Onze schepen worden ingezet in uiteenlopende markten zoals offshore wind, havens, marine & overheid en maritieme dienstverlening.

Innovatie, standaardisatie en digitalisering staan centraal binnen Damen Workboats. Om de toenemende technische complexiteit en dynamiek in markt‑ en klantbehoeften beheersbaar te houden, is onze hardware productontwikkeling Agile ingericht en georganiseerd binnen één Agile Release Train (ART). Binnen deze context speelt de Release Train Engineer een centrale rol in het faciliteren van samenwerking, flow en voorspelbaarheid, zodat product‑ en systeemteams gezamenlijk en effectief waarde kunnen leveren..

The role

Als Release Train Engineer (RTE) ben jij de drijvende kracht achter één of meerdere Agile Release Trains (ART’s). Je faciliteert en coacht teams om optimaal samen te werken, waarde te leveren en continu te verbeteren. Je opereert op het snijvlak van strategie, productontwikkeling en uitvoering en bent een sleutelspeler in het realiseren van strategische initiatieven binnen Damen.

Je fungeert als servant leader en zorgt ervoor dat SAFe‑principes niet alleen worden toegepast, maar op een passende wijze worden vertaald naar de context, zodat ze écht gaan leven binnen de organisatie.

Key responsibilities

  • Faciliteren van PI Planning, System Demos, Inspect & Adapt en andere SAFe-events
  • Coachen van Product Managers, Product Owners, Scrum Masters en teams op Agile en SAFe-werkwijzen
  • Bevorderen van voorspelbaarheid, kwaliteit, flow en alignment binnen de ART
  • Identificeren en wegnemen van impediments en escaleren waar nodig
  • Stimuleren van continue verbetering en een cultuur van eigenaarschap
  • Afstemmen met stakeholders binnen business, IT en externe partijen
  • Bijdragen aan de verdere volwassenheid van Agile en SAFe binnen Damen

Skills & experience

  • Afgeronde hbo- of wo-opleiding, bij voorkeur in een technisch-bedrijfskundige richting
  • Aantoonbare ervaring als Release Train Engineer, Agile Coach of Senior Scrum Master
  • Gedegen kennis van SAFe (SAFe RTE-certificering is een sterke pré)
  • Affiniteit en ervaring met het inrichten van een Agile organisatie cultuur en leiderschap 
  • Ervaring in complexe organisaties en IT-gedreven omgevingen
  • Sterke communicatieve vaardigheden en natuurlijk leiderschap
  • Vermogen om teams en stakeholders te verbinden en te faciliteren
  • Goede beheersing van de Engelse taal (Nederlands is een pré)
  • Ervaring met Agile in hardware omgevingen is een pré

What we offer

  • Een sleutelrol binnen strategische, bedrijfskritische productontwikkelingsprogramma’s
  • Werken in een internationale, innovatieve en technisch gedreven organisatie
  • Veel ruimte voor eigen initiatief, coaching en professionele ontwikkeling
  • Mogelijkheden voor opleiding en certificering (bijv. SAFe)
  • Een marktconform salaris en goede secundaire arbeidsvoorwaarden
  • Hybride werken en een moderne werkomgeving in Gorinchem
