Description du poste

Millwrights in South Africa, is it time to take your trade to the Netherlands?

At Xelvin we connect skilled South African tradespeople with technical roles at strong Dutch companies. And we don’t just place you and wish you luck. We help with the whole move: visa and paperwork, housing, Dutch lessons and settling in at work.

Right now I’m looking for qualified Millwrights with solid mechanical and electrical maintenance experience. If you’ve worked in food production, FMCG, packaging or other production environments, that’s a big plus.

What I’m looking for:

• A trade qualification such as Red Seal Millwright or equivalent
• Experience as a Millwright, Maintenance Technician or Electro-Mechanical Technician
• Hands‑on work with motors, pumps, conveyors, gearboxes, drives, sensors and control systems
• Strong fault‑finding across mechanical, electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic systems
• Experience with preventive maintenance and breakdowns
• Able to read technical drawings and electrical diagrams
• Good Afrikaans and English, a safety‑first mindset, and the drive to build a long‑term future here

Why South Africans? Afrikaans is close to Dutch, so safety instructions, manuals and day‑to‑day communication on the floor come a lot easier. In practice, that means you settle in faster.

What you get:

• A 1–2 year contract, with the aim of long‑term employment
• From €4,357 gross per month
• Overtime and shift allowances under Dutch regulations
• Travel allowance of €0.23 per km
• A full relocation package, visa sponsorship and support for your spouse where applicable

I know moving countries is a big decision. That’s why we stay with you every step, from the first conversation to your first day on the job.
