• Manage article information to support sales and service.
• Support sales, service and production with technical questions.
• Work together with sales, service, production, assembly and purchasing.
• Actively contribute to improvement processes, including Configure-to-Order.
• Get started immediately with increasing APV machine coverage through reverse engineering, documentation, and item master management of existing APV machines.

What you bring

• An MBO and/or HBO degree in mechanical engineering or automotive engineering.
• At least 3 years of experience as an engineer in machine building.
• Experience with 3D CAD software Inventor – Vault, ERP software (Exact – Synergy is a plus) and MS Office.
• Knowledge of drive technology, pneumatics, hydraulics and control engineering is a plus.
• Strong communication skills and a proactive, solution-oriented attitude.
• Fluency in Dutch and English, both spoken and written.
• Experience with machine building for the food industry is a plus.

What we offer

• A varied and challenging position in an informal environment with enthusiastic colleagues, where you get plenty of freedom for your own input.
• An excellent salary and secondary employment conditions, depending on your knowledge and experience.
• Collective labour agreement for the metal industry (CAO Klein Metaal).
• Opportunities for education and training.
• Flexible working hours and the option of hybrid working.

The opportunity to grow in the longer term into a broader engineering role, involving machine design, product development, and technical support for Sales and Service.
