Mechatronics Technician - Day Shift

About the job

Location: Delden

As a Mechatronics Technician, you work in a modern production environment where raw materials are processed into animal feed. You are responsible for keeping the entire process running well, from the intake of raw materials to dispatch.

You work with

• Bulk and conveyor systems, such as belt conveyors, screw conveyors, elevators, and dosing systems
• Mixing and dosing installations for precise recipe formulation
• Grinding and sieving installations, such as hammer mills and filter and sieve systems
• Pneumatic transport installations for moving raw materials and finished products
• Silo and storage systems, including level measurement and filling systems
• Packaging and filling installations for bagged goods or bulk loading
• Hydraulic and mechanical drive systems in process lines
• Steam and heating installations used in the production process
• Electrotechnical controls (PLC-controlled systems) and related sensors and actuators

What we ask

We are looking for someone who is confident and gets energy from keeping an industrial production environment running. You understand how mechanical and electrotechnical systems connect, and you can not only fix faults but also analyse them and solve them for good.

• Completed MBO-4 (Dutch vocational qualification, level 4) in Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, or Electrical Engineering
• Proven experience in an industrial maintenance or production environment
• Knowledge of mechanical engineering, drive technology, and construction
• Basic knowledge of electrical engineering and control technology (PLC-controlled installations preferred)
• Experience or knowledge of hydraulics, pneumatics, and transport installations
• Ability to analyse faults and carry out preventive maintenance
• Ability to read and use technical drawings and diagrams
• Able to work independently and as part of a team
• Proactive attitude: you see what needs to be done and bring ideas for improvement
• Willingness to take part in on-call duty (consignatie, meaning you are available outside regular hours to respond to technical issues)

Experience in the process industry or bulk material handling is a plus, but your technical thinking and practical approach matter most.

What you'll do

You join a stable, no-nonsense company where technology is central and you have real influence on process continuity. You have a lot of freedom in your work, and the responsibility that comes with it.

• Salary from €3,200 to €4,400 gross per month
• 37 days off per year (based on full-time hours)
• 8% vakantiegeld (holiday allowance, a statutory annual payment on top of your salary) and 4% annual bonus
• Travel costs reimbursed
• Day shift work, with occasional on-call duty and appropriate pay for it
• Broad opportunities for training, courses, and advancement in technical roles
• A flexible benefits budget you can spend on, for example, a bicycle, fitness, a smartphone, or home insulation
• A straightforward, friendly working atmosphere within an international organisation

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