MAIN TASKS
I think "hoofdbestanddelen" means "main tasks" in this context. (My dictionary says main ingredient/constituent, which isn't quite right here)

major tasks
I would translate the whole expression as 'Major tasks and responsibilities' and the seperate headings 'Hoofdbestanddelen' as 'Major task(s) x" followed by 'task description'

writeaway
: major wouldn't be used in the context/main sounds much more idiomatic. one can find everything on the www including blatant errors. it can be helpful but also very misleading.

'Main' is fine with me too, sufficient relevant hits for use of 'major' in this combination though ... :-)

To stick to the (artificial) construction used by the author (perhaps to stress the very large importance of every element the job would consist of; or stress that the job constitutes a whole range of subdivided responsibilies), use (the also artificial):
