Breakdown Electromechanic

About the job

As a Breakdown Electromechanic, you keep a modern and largely automated production process running 24 hours a day. You fix breakdowns quickly and think along about improvements to the latest production lines. You work mainly on new, high-tech lines and installations. The technical focus is shifting more and more towards electrical engineering, control technology and automation. The mechanical side of the job stays important too.

What you'll do

• Locate, analyse and fix breakdowns on your own: mechanical, electrotechnical, pneumatic and control-related.
• Carry out preventive maintenance on production machines and installations to avoid downtime.
• Work on modern production lines controlled by PLCs.
• Record completed work and breakdowns in the maintenance system (SAP).
• Inspect machines and installations.
• Identify structural technical problems and take an active role in finding improvements.
• Help with modifications, overhauls and technical improvement projects.
• Work with operators and the production team to fix breakdowns quickly and safely.
• Support the start-up of new machines and installations.
• Work with a varied range of machines, from filling lines and packaging machines to technical utilities.
• Contribute to a safe, clean and organised technical environment.

No two shifts are the same. One moment you are fixing an urgent breakdown on an advanced production line, the next you are working on a technical improvement that makes production run more efficiently.

You are a Breakdown Electromechanic who gets energy from technology, solving complex breakdowns and continuously improving installations.

You also have

• A completed MBO-level education (Dutch vocational qualification, roughly equivalent to a technical college diploma) in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering or a comparable technical field.

• Experience with or knowledge of pneumatic systems.
• Basic knowledge of PLC controllers, or the motivation to develop further in this area.

• Good communication skills and a real team player mentality.
• The drive to keep growing technically.

What we offer

You join a financially stable and innovative food industry manufacturer where technology, innovation and development come first. You get to work with the latest machines and production lines and develop yourself fully within the technical service team.

You can count on

• A gross monthly salary including a 28% shift allowance (toeslag) of between €4,180 and €5,505, depending on your knowledge and experience.

• A lot of freedom, responsibility and room for your own initiative.

Depending on the position and the client, reference checks and verification of diplomas and certificates may be part of the recruitment procedure.
