About the Role

We are looking for a hands‑on Service Engineer / Inspector to carry out periodic inspections, maintenance, assembly and certification of technical safety equipment. You'll work both in our workshop and on location at client sites, keeping fall‑protection, confined‑space, rescue and evacuation, and personal protective equipment safe, compliant, and fully operational. This is a practical, quality‑driven role for someone who takes pride in precise, standards‑compliant technical work and enjoys variety between workshop and field.

Key Responsibilities

• Inspection & certification - Carry out periodic (annual/statutory) inspections of fall‑protection systems, rescue equipment, and evacuation installations at client sites.
• Quality control - Perform incoming quality checks on manufactured and supplied components against specification and applicable European standards.
• Assembly & testing - Assemble, test, and certify technical PPE and safety systems, verifying compliance with relevant EN/NEN standards before release.
• Maintenance & repair - Diagnose faults, carry out repairs, and service installed fall‑protection, rescue, and evacuation equipment in the field.
• Installation - Install new fall‑protection and rescue/evacuation systems at client locations, following technical drawings and safety procedures.
• Administration - Log inspections, findings, and certifications accurately in the Service Management System; issue inspection reports and certificates.
• Client contact - Liaise directly with clients' safety officers and facility contacts on‑site, explaining findings and recommendations clearly.
• Feedback loop - Signal commercial opportunities (replacements, upgrades, additional inspections) back to the sales team.

Sectors You’ll Work In

You’ll inspect and service equipment on‑site across industries where working at height, confined‑space entry, or emergency rescue create significant occupational risk, including:

• Industrial manufacturing and heavy industry
• Oil, gas, and offshore / petrochemical facilities
• Chemical and process industries
• Construction and infrastructure
• Utilities and energy (including wind and power generation)
• Ports, logistics, and (petro)chemical storage/tank terminals
• Industrial maintenance, inspection, and facility services
• Emergency response, fire brigades, and rescue organisations

What You Bring

• Vocational/technical education (MBO level) in a relevant technical discipline, or equivalent experience.
• Hands‑on technical aptitude with a practical, precise approach to maintenance and inspection work.
• Prior experience in a comparable technical service, maintenance, or inspection role.
• Fluent Dutch; working proficiency in English is an advantage.
• Comfortable working at height and in confined spaces as part of daily duties.
• Valid category B driver's licence and willingness to travel to client sites across the country.
• A quality‑first mindset - comfortable following structured inspection protocols and documenting results accurately.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with ISO 9001 quality systems and VCA safety certification.
• Knowledge of height‑safety, confined‑space, or PPE standards (e.g. EN 795, EN 361, NEN).
• Experience as a certified rope‑access technician, height‑safety inspector, or similar.
• Residing near Almere, or willing to relocate.

What We Offer

• A varied, hands‑on role combining workshop and field work across technically demanding sectors.
• A full‑time position with a competitive salary and travel allowance.
• Company van/vehicle and tools provided for site work.
• Training toward inspector and product certifications, including supplier‑specific courses.
• A collegial, safety‑first working environment with short communication lines.
