Belgium's national railway infrastructure operator and train coordination authority
Infrabel operates and maintains Belgium's entire rail network—tracks, signals, bridges, tunnels—while coordinating real-time train movements across 600,000 daily passengers and 50 million tons of annual freight. The tech stack skews heavily toward SAP (core ERP, SuccessFactors payroll, Ariba procurement) with active migration to S/4HANA and HANA, plus engineering tools (AutoCAD, Visio, Enterprise Architect) and analytics (Power BI, R, SAS). The hiring mix—engineering-dominant (62 roles) with steady mid-level intake—maps to their parallel project load: track/signal renewal, asset digitalization, safety procedure modernization, and SAP transformation.
Notable leadership hires: Project Lead Tracks, Team Lead, Measurement Lead
