NB: For this role, it is important that you speak good Dutch and live in the Netherlands.

Are you seeking a technical field service position where you play a crucial role in keeping the Dutch railway system in motion? Are you driven by the challenge of solving malfunctions under pressure, especially during the quiet hours when the rest of the Netherlands is asleep? If you desire to work for an organization that deeply invests in your development, specialist knowledge, and provides quality equipment, we have the perfect opportunity for you.

We are currently searching for an All-round Service Technician Railway Infrastructure for an esteemed international player in the railway sector. This organization is a recognized manufacturer and specialist, offering a range of systems and components essential for railway operations, including switch systems, signaling installations, and track heating. When a malfunction occurs, the service team is dispatched, and you will be integral in ensuring that train traffic can safely and efficiently resume.

Key Responsibilities

• Repairing, adjusting, replacing, and maintaining switch systems, compensation joints, and crossings.
• Revising and restoring switch control systems.
• Installing and testing electric and fluid-controlled switch heating systems.
• Quickly analyzing and resolving malfunctions in signaling installations.
• Participating in a 24/7 fault service (approximately once every four weeks).
• Communicating on-site with contractors and providing direct technical advice.

Candidate Profile

We are looking for a candidate who:

• Has at least an MBO-2 work and thinking level.
• Possesses a background in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, mechanics, or civil engineering.
• Is comfortable with regular night and weekend work as part of the role.
• Is flexible and willing to travel across the Netherlands for service calls.
• Demonstrates quick learning, practical orientation, and desires to develop further within a specialist field.
• Remains calm under pressure and can resolve malfunctions promptly.

What We Offer

In return, you will receive:

• A competitive salary ranging from €3,500 to €4,800 gross per month, exclusive of irregularity allowances, plus a fixed year-end bonus.
• Excellent benefits such as 27 vacation days and 13 ADV days, a personal service vehicle, professional tools, and ample specialist training.
• An opportunity to work within a stable international organization that fosters an informal culture, along with perks like a bike/sports plan and study allowances for children through the company fund.

This position stands out due to its unique blend of technology, freedom, and social impact. You will not be confined to one location or standard installations. One night, you might resolve an urgent malfunction at a switch; the next, you could focus on the preventive maintenance of critical railway infrastructure.
