Job description

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.
• Working proficiency in English and Dutch is needed.
• 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.
• Valid work authorization in Netherlands.

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 [city/region], 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.
