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;

• 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;
