Job description

Your hands. Your curiosity. Our chocolate factory.

Are you the mechanic who wants to know what’s really wrong?

You don't like waiting for someone to tell you what to do.

A machine stops. You investigate.

You listen. You look. You test. You take things apart. You figure out what is happening and you get the machine running again.

If that sounds like you, this could be your next step.

We are looking for a hands‑on Maintenance Technician to join a close-knit technical team in a highly automated chocolate production environment near Amsterdam.

And this isn't just another production line.

You will work with technology across the entire chocolate production process, from bakery and processing equipment to automated packaging, labelling, conveyors, robotics and everything in between.

What will you do?

As a Maintenance Technician, you keep a highly automated production environment running.

You will work with a wide variety of machines and installations, which means there is always something new to discover.

Your work can involve:

• Bakery and food-processing machinery
• Chocolate production and processing equipment
• Conveyors and automated material handling
• Motors, gearboxes and drives
• Sensors and pneumatic systems
• Automated packaging machinery
• Wrapping and filling machines
• Labelling and coding equipment
• Robotic systems
• Automated production lines
• Mechanical installations and auxiliary systems

When something stops, you don't simply replace a component and move on.

You investigate the cause.

You will:

• Diagnose and resolve mechanical breakdowns.
• Investigate recurring faults and identify root causes.
• Repair, adjust and improve production machinery.
• Perform preventive and corrective maintenance.
• Work on highly automated production and packaging lines.
• Troubleshoot conveyors, motors, gearboxes, sensors and mechanical systems.
• Support improvements and technical modifications.
• Work closely with operators, engineers and fellow technicians.
• Learn more about electrical systems, PLCs and industrial automation as you develop.

A technical playground from production to packaging

What makes this environment interesting is the variety.

One moment you could be working on a bakery machine.

The next, you're troubleshooting a conveyor or automated processing installation.

Then a packaging machine stops, followed by a labelling system further down the line.

Everything is connected.

Production. Process. Automation. Packaging. Logistics.

And that's exactly what makes this a great environment for someone who enjoys understanding how machines work.

You won't be standing next to one machine all day.

You'll be part of a technical team responsible for keeping an entire high-tech chocolate production operation running.

Who are we looking for?

You have a strong mechanical background and genuinely enjoy working with machines.

You are someone who:

• Is hands‑on and practical.
• Is curious about how machines work.
• Enjoys troubleshooting and finding the cause of problems.
• Likes to take things apart and understand how they work.
• Doesn't need someone standing next to you telling you what to do.
• Isn't afraid to get your hands dirty.
• Enjoys learning new technology.
• Works well with colleagues.
• Takes safety and quality seriously.

Experience in mechanical maintenance, manufacturing, food production, automotive, machine building, logistics, packaging or mechatronics is welcome.

You don't need to know everything.

We are looking for the right mindset, technical curiosity and willingness to learn.

What do we offer?

• Salary up to €4,700 gross per month, depending on experience.
• 27 vacation days.
• Holiday allowance.
• Overtime compensation.
• Travel allowance.
• Paid technical training and development.
• A clean, modern and highly automated working environment.
• A supportive and experienced technical team.
• Exposure to a wide range of industrial machinery.
• Opportunities to develop your knowledge of electrical engineering and automation.
• Long-term career opportunities.

The environment

Imagine a production environment where chocolate, technology and automation come together.

Behind the finished product is a complex technical operation involving production machinery, process equipment, conveyors, robotics, packaging lines and labelling systems.

Thousands of products move through the facility every day.

Your job is to make sure the technology behind it keeps moving.

You'll work alongside technicians, engineers and operators who understand that good maintenance isn't just about fixing machines.

It's about understanding them, improving them and preventing the next problem.

Are you the mechanic who doesn't just wait for instructions?

Do you want to work in an environment where you can investigate, troubleshoot, learn and work with some of the most advanced machinery in food production?

Then we'd like to meet you.
