Job description

Would you like to help build a reliable and future-proof energy infrastructure from the ground up?

The role

At Bright Renewables – part of the HoSt Group – you’ll have the opportunity to further professionalise the maintenance and reliability division within Bright Service and make a real impact on installations worldwide.

We develop and implement innovative renewable energy technologies, such as biogas plants and CO₂ recovery, with projects in over 30 countries and a team of more than 700 colleagues.

What will you be doing as a Maintenance Engineer?

As a Maintenance Engineer, you will work in a new and growing role within Bright Service. You will be given plenty of scope not only to devise maintenance strategies, but also to actually implement and improve them.

You will be the link between service, engineering and projects, and will contribute directly to increasing the reliability, availability and maintainability of our installations.

What makes this role unique?

In this role, you’ll help build the foundations of maintenance at Bright Service, with a great deal of autonomy and scope for initiative. You’ll have a direct impact on installations both at home and abroad and will work closely with engineering and service teams. You’ll also be part of an organisation that actively contributes to the energy transition.

Your responsibilities

• Developing and improving maintenance and reliability strategies (such as RCM, TPM, FMECA);

• Optimising preventive and – where possible – predictive maintenance;

• Analysing fault data and carrying out Root Cause Analyses (RCA);

• Developing spare parts and critical spares strategies;

• Identifying trends, risks and opportunities for improvement based on data and practical experience;

• Advising on maintainability for new projects and modifications;

• Collaborating with service engineers and project teams to put improvements into practice.

Who are we looking for?

• A higher professional education (HBO) or university (WO) degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics or a similar discipline;

• 2–5 years’ work experience in maintenance, reliability, service or process improvement role;

• Familiarity with methodologies such as RCM, TPM, FMECA and RCA;

• The ability to translate data and practical experience into structural improvements;

• Analytical, results-oriented and strong communication skills;

• You engage people in improvement initiatives and enjoy working as part of a team.

What we offer

• Attractive terms of employment and a salary commensurate with your work experience and qualifications;

• An attractive annual profit-sharing scheme (paid in September) for those employed for at least 12 months;

• An excellent pension scheme;

• Travel allowance for commuting: €0.23 per km;

• The option to work 32 or 40 hours per week;

• Flexible start times between 7 am and 9 am;

• Opportunities to work from home;

• The chance to work for a market leader in renewable energy with a strong focus on innovation, winner of the 2024 Oryx and Gazelle awards;

• Working in an international family-run business where your ideas matter and successes are celebrated together;

• Joining a team comprising both new and experienced professionals;

• From Oct 2026: Working in a brand-new, sustainably built office block equipped with state-of-the-art sustainable facilities in Hengelo!

• A high degree of independence and responsibility;

• Plenty of opportunities for personal development in technical and professional areas;

• The latest bike (bike lease scheme);

• Earn gift vouchers by cycling.
