Your challenge:
As a Maintenance Worker, you are the backbone of our technical operations. From routine maintenance that ensures continuity and quality of the production process, to designing and implementing innovative improvements and new machine concepts. No day is the same, and no challenge is too big for your mechanical and electrical expertise!
From citrus weighers, sealing machines, labeling machines, conveyors to flower belts — you are the one who keeps everything running smoothly and efficiently.
- You proactively assist with technical (ad-hoc) issues and malfunctions.
- You handle breakdown services and identify and assess the causes of malfunctions.
- You elevate our machine park by proposing and implementing innovative improvements to the Head of Technical Services.
- When not solving machine issues, you focus on technical building maintenance.
What we offer:
- A lively, international work environment with friendly colleagues, strong team dynamics, and a hands-on role full of daily technical challenges.
- Freedom within an organization with short communication lines, allowing for quick decision-making.
- A competitive salary based on your expertise and experience, for a 40-hour work week, plus additional compensation for weekend on-call duties.
- Prospect of a permanent contract, a fully employer-paid pension, 26 vacation days, and a company smartphone.
- Opportunities to develop your technical skills in a stimulating and supportive environment.
- Growth potential into a coordinating or leadership role in the future.
- A fixed work schedule that allows for a good work-life balance.
Who we’re looking for:
We’re looking for a technician who isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty and is ready to tackle the complex challenges of our dynamic environment. You’ll recognize yourself in the following:
- MBO-level education in electrical engineering and a passion for technology? Then you’re our ideal candidate!
- No formal technical education but relevant experience and affinity with the fresh produce sector? We’d love to welcome you.
- Neat, safety-conscious, responsible, collegial, and communicative? That’s essential, especially in our team-oriented work culture in both Dutch and English.
- You work according to regulations and certifications — safety comes first.
- Flexibility: You work day shifts between 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM, in consultation with the team. Every 4 weeks, you’ll be on-call in the evenings until 11:00 PM and on weekends (on-call basis).
