Job description

Service Technician Technical Services – Build the laboratories of the future with us!

Location: Oudenbosch and at our clients national and worldwide

Education level: Advanced technician diploma (vocational baccalaureate) / Bachelor degree (mechatronics, mechanical engineering, or electrical engineering)

Are you ready for top-level technology and a stamp in your passport?

At Lab Associates in Oudenbosch, we do something unique. Since 1987, we have been designing and building total solutions that eliminate manual labour in plant tissue culture laboratories worldwide. From advanced media preparators (industrial pressure cookers) that sterilize substrates with high-pressure steam, to high-end robot-controlled filling systems: we are the driving force behind laboratory automation and a one-stop-shop for customers in more than 70 countries globally.

Your role as a Service Technician Technical Services

As a Service Technician Technical Services, you are our technical representative to our customers. One week you are working on a new prototype in our workshop in Oudenbosch, the next week you are in a high-tech lab abroad to install or maintain a system.

What will you do?

• Assembly & testing: In Oudenbosch, you will help build our machines. You understand how mechanical parts, electronics and software come together.
• On‑site installation: You will travel to our national and international customers to install and commission our systems (such as industrial sterilizers and robotic filling systems).
• Maintenance & troubleshooting: You will analyse malfunctions and perform preventive maintenance so that production at the customer's site never comes to a standstill.
• Customer contact: You will explain to the customer how the machine works and ensure they get the most out of our equipment.

What do you bring?

• A completed technical education at Advanced technician diploma (vocational baccalaureate) / Bachelor degree in mechatronics, mechanical engineering or electrical engineering.
• You are a true "all‑rounder": you are not afraid of mechanics, but you also understand how a robotic arm is controlled.
• A love for travel: The world is your workplace. You love being on the road regularly, both nationally on a workday and internationally for a few days for approximately 25% of your time on average.
• Independence and a solution-oriented approach: in the field, you are the expert who gets things done.
• Proficiency in English (and Dutch is a benefit).

What do we offer you?

• Unique technology: Working with complex steam technology and the latest automation.
• Variety: A perfect balance between the familiar base in Oudenbosch and the adventure (international) business trips.
• Impact: You contribute to solutions that make global food and plant production more efficient and sustainable.
• Growth: Opportunities to further specialize in robotics or specific control systems.
• A competitive salary and good employment conditions including travel and accommodation allowances.
