Nederlands term of zin: zware/lichte profielen
Verder weze opgemerkt dat de zware profielen van medewerkers bij XXX lagen en dat de technische beslissingen sowieso steeds bij XXX hebben gelegen.
XXX neemt alle zware profielen voor zijn rekening (Process Architect, Development Coordinator, Teamleader,….) buiten de gewone profielen van tester/trainer.
YYYY levert enkel de lichte profielen van Librarian(secretaris), etc.

heavy-duty/high-profile jobs vs low-key jobs
Uitleg:
"heavy-duty" is more figurative in the sense that the job requires the person to take on a lot of responsibility (not necessarily that the work involves dealing with heavy tools, machinery or equipment).

"high-profile" meaning "high status" - they are good jobs that pay better and require more education or knowledge... so, in essence, they are "high-profile" - meaning lots of people would want the job. I guess "highly competitive" also fits in here.


For "lichte profielen" I would opt for "low-key jobs", as in jobs not requiring a lot of responsibility.

You can also substitute "position" for "job" or "low-profile" for "low-key"

For example

"XXX neemt alle zware profielen voor zijn rekening" -> "XXX accounts for all high-profile positions"

"YYYY levert enkel de lichte profielen van Librarian..." -> "YYYY only provides low-profile positions such as Librarian..."
