Afdelingsinformatie
The Digital & Information Technology (D&IT) department aims to implement and manage digital products and services. This contributes to the digital (data) strategy of the Port of Rotterdam Authority and the digitization of the port as a whole.
Within D&IT, you will be part of Enabling Technology & Services (ET&S), which is responsible for all generic and department-wide digital services. ET&S consists of three teams:
Digital Workplace, IT Networks, Infrastructure & Digital Identity.
These teams are responsible for delivering mainly generic mission-critical IT services and infrastructures that ensure all IT services are used safely and reliably.
Data Collaboration & Integration.
DCI is responsible for all digital integration and customer communication issues with the HbR integration platform and the HbR online platform. Additionally, these teams drive the safe and agile exchange of data, both internally and for the port.
Data Technology & Information Services.
These teams are responsible for delivering and further developing data platforms, data services, and user tools for data science and business intelligence. This also includes quality assurance on the delivered data products (e.g., data science models) and underlying processes. The team consists of 9 colleagues and 7 external colleagues, mainly engineers, data scientists, and POs.
For Data Technology & Information Services (DTIS), we are looking for a senior platform engineer/solution architect. DTIS is a young team with a lot of energy and humor and is responsible for developing PoR’s state-of-the-art data analytics capability. We collect data from available sources within our own organization and the port. We then make this data accessible for reporting, dashboarding, business intelligence, and data science purposes. For the port authority itself but increasingly for the port community. We do this in line with Lean/Agile principles and according to Dev/Ops ways of working.
