Working at Pensioenfonds Rail & Openbaar Vervoer
The Rail & Public Transport Pension Fund provides pensions for (former) employees and retirees of companies in the rail and public transport sector that are affiliated with us. Our core activities are pension administration and asset management.
Our mission is to make pensions understandable. The participant — and by extension, the employer — is at the heart of everything we do. We shape our services and implement improvements from their perspective. We offer participants personal insights and guide and support them in making pension-related decisions. Our goal is to give participants peace of mind about their pensions, and employers confidence in the pension arrangements for their employees. This mission forms the foundation of our strategy, customer service, and organizational structure. Our three core values — committed, approachable, and reliable — guide us in this work.

Why work at Pensioenfonds Rail & Openbaar Vervoer
Senior Application Manager in the Internal Operations Department
Working for a secondment agency for over twenty years taught me a lot, but at times I missed a sense of connection and appreciation. However, after two years on assignment at Rail & Public Transport, I felt so connected to the colleagues, the mission, and the client that I decided to stay. The atmosphere, the challenge, the appreciation, the work environment, and the employment conditions (also important) were ultimately the key drivers behind my decision to make the switch — and I haven’t regretted it for a single moment.
Investment Analyst, Asset Management Department
I started as a trainee at Rail & Public Transport a few years ago because a large part of the investments is managed in-house. This means there's a wealth of in-depth knowledge within the organization. Additionally, the culture is open and everyone is very supportive — an ideal learning environment for a trainee!
Business Consultant in the IT & Change department.
The trainee vacancy appealed to me greatly because of the diverse learning opportunities it offered. The traineeship provides the chance to actively influence your own development within Rail & Public Transport, which, for me, is a formula for success.

What is our biggest challenge?
The labor market is tight, making it a serious challenge to find suitable candidates. At the same time, the sector demands highly educated professionals with specific expertise in pensions, finance, and policy. To reach and engage these individuals, it is essential to write job postings that are not only accurate and appealing but also clearly convey what the role truly entails. Many positions at the Rail & Public Transport Pension Fund are complex or highly specialized. This calls for clear, concrete language that makes the nature of the work understandable and engaging for the right audience. The challenge lies in translating content-heavy, complex roles into accessible and compelling job descriptions — and in successfully attracting qualified candidates in a highly competitive market.
