With more than 60 years of experience working for the world\'s most famous brands, we have pioneered the most important innovations in reusable beverage packaging.

Headquartered in Belgium, with manufacturing sites in Poland, Spain, and Croatia, we are a strategic European player committed to the circular economy — helping customers replace single-use packaging with sustainable, closed-loop returnable systems.

We offer an international environment with a warm, collaborative atmosphere and short lines of communication.

• Perform both preventive and corrective maintenance on production equipment
• Work day shift during the week in support of a 24/7 production operation
• Resolve electrical and mechanical issues: from replacing motors and hydraulic hoses to adjusting robots and automatic stacking machines

• Contribute ideas for improving and optimising work procedures

Must-have

• Preferable professional bachelor\'s degree in a technical field (electromechanics preferred) or equivalent practical experience
• Excellent command of Dutch — speaking, reading, and writing
• Solid knowledge of hydraulics, pneumatics, and electrical systems
• Hands-on mentality: you enjoy rolling up your sleeves
• Accurate, positive, and with a strong sense of responsibility

Advantageous Experience (not all required to start)

• Familiarity with PPAP, FMEA, Control Plans, and capability analysis
• Experience with ERP or quality management systems

What we offer

• A challenging position within a stable and growing European company
