Job description

How do you get generators, batteries, solar and wind power to work together reliably? As Application Engineer Power Management, you advise customers on exactly this, solve technical challenges, and commission systems on site.

You’ll mainly work with solutions from the Danish manufacturer DEIF. Caldic Techniek expects strong growth in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and you’ll have the room to become our technical specialist in this area.

What will you do?

The core of this role is technical. You support customers before and after purchase, working closely with account managers, suppliers, and engineers.

In practice, you will:

• Advise engineers and customers on controllers, PLC systems, protection relays, and power converters
• Think along on the integration of generators, batteries, solar, wind, and energy management systems
• Answer technical questions about configurations, software, firmware, error messages, and system integrations
• Analyze more complex issues and coordinate with DEIF’s engineers where needed
• Prepare, configure, test, and commission systems on-site at customers or on board vessels
• Prepare technical quotes and support the account manager in customer meetings
• Recognize commercial opportunities and help translate technical advice into an order
• Occasional international travel is part of the role

Why this role is interesting

The energy transition is making electrical installations increasingly complex. Customers combine generators with battery systems and renewable energy sources, and need a technical partner who understands it all.

At Caldic Techniek, you’ll get the chance to build this expertise further. You’ll work directly with DEIF, follow product training, and grow into the go-to technical expert for customers and colleagues.

You’ll sometimes travel for pre-sales advice or to commission installations. It’s precisely the mix of advising, analyzing, commissioning, and customer contact that makes this role stand out.

You don’t need to be a DEIF specialist yet. You do need an electrical engineering foundation that helps you get to grips with complex electrical systems.

It’s important that you:

• Have a bachelor’s-level background in electrical engineering, industrial automation, energy technology, or a comparable field
• Have experience with electrical installations, control systems, automation, or power management
• Can analyze technical problems in a structured way
• Enjoy working with customers and can explain technical information clearly
• Like picking up quotes and commercial opportunities alongside technical work
• Speak good Dutch and English

Experience with power generation, emergency power installations, generator control, BESS, PLCs, commissioning, or maritime installations is a plus, but not a hard requirement.

Working from the Netherlands or Belgium

You’ll work from our office in Rotterdam or in Belgium. If you choose Belgium, we expect you to be in Rotterdam on average one to two days a week. This keeps you well connected to the team and our Dutch customers.

You’ll be employed by the Caldic organization in the country where you work, so employment terms may differ slightly by location.

About Caldic Techniek

Caldic Techniek specializes in generators and the control and protection of energy systems. In an increasingly complex energy landscape, we deliver top-quality products that reliably perform at their best, day after day.

You’ll join a team where people know, help, and value each other. The atmosphere is informal, lines of communication are short, and there’s plenty of room to take initiative and responsibility.

We’re not working to a tight deadline. We take the time to find the right match.
