Dutch to English
Other
General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
abbreviation
Transport en Distributie Manager ai YYY (YYY = governmental body)
It's a position listed in a Dutch resume.
Would anyone have an idea what the ai could stand for?
It doesn't seem to be a typo as it occurs somehwere else too:
Manager Operations ai XXX (XXX= employer)

It is supposed to be 'ad interim' (a.i.) in English (not 'waarnemend' as I put in my answer = Dutch).

Inderdaad. Ik had het pas achteraf gezien dat er al discussie gevoerd was over ai. Ik vond het al raar dat er niemand geantwoord had. Volgende keer let ik er op!

Ad interim klinkt goed maar ad interim betekent "ondertussen". M.i. wel een gekke manier om een positie te adverteren.
Nog gekker als het gaat dat je daar gewerkt hebt... of je was er of je was er niet.
Je zou even goed kunnen zeggen dat a.i. staat voor "ab initio"
= in het begin (of in de eerste instantie)
