Internship assignment- Implementation of New Mobility Policy

About Thales

With 80.000 talents working in 68 countries, we are one of the biggest high-tech employers in the field of safety and security. In the Netherlands, where 2500 employees are based, we are located in seven cities: Huizen, Amersfoort, Rotterdam, Delft, Breda, Eindhoven and Hengelo (HQ). Together with an extensive ecosystem of knowledge partners, customers and suppliers, we work on radars for naval vessels, cyber security solutions, transportation systems, communication equipment for land forces, cryogenic cooling solutions, research & development for radar tech (in collaboration with TU Delft).

The software department of the Application Engineering cluster is responsible for the software development in Combat Management and Radar- and Optical sensors for worldwide navies- and defense systems. The work is performed in multi-disciplinary agile teams with specialists in software/system/test engineering and functional design.

About the assignment

We are currently revamping our mobility policy, which includes our lease policy and commuting allowances. Over half of our employees still commute by car, even though most live within 12 kilometers of their workplace. Thales is committed to significantly reducing its CO2 emissions, a large portion of which comes from commuting. Encouraging employees to bike or use public transport can make a substantial impact on meeting our sustainability goals.

Currently, we have various ways to track how employees commute to work, but we lack a system to register bicycle commutes and integrate them into our payroll. Your task will be to research and implement a system for registering and processing bicycle commutes. The aim is to have this system operational by January 1, 2025.

This is a hands-on assignment with immediate impact on the organization. You will interact with a diverse range of stakeholders, including IS/IT for system integration, our labor lawyer to ensure privacy compliance, the Works Council for internal communication, and potentially external vendors for purchasing tools.

Affinity

We are looking for someone who can think in processes, is not afraid to reach out to various departments or external parties, and can effectively manage deadlines.
