Job Opportunity: Maintenance Technician in Electrical Engineering

Important: Proficiency in Dutch and residency in the Randstad region are essential for this role.

Are you passionate about working with technology that serves as the backbone of the rail sector? Do you thrive on troubleshooting machine malfunctions and ensuring smooth operations in a workshop environment? If you're looking for a position in a small, technically proficient team where you can take on significant responsibility and make an impact, we have an exciting opportunity for you!

We are seeking a Maintenance Technician in Electrical Engineering for an international leader in rail infrastructure. This organization supports large rail projects with materials, logistics, and expert technical services. Operating from their Hilversum location, they ensure that machinery and installations perform optimally, and you will play a crucial role in achieving this. Without efficient machines, operations can come to a standstill.

The role shifts the focus away from field service, placing emphasis on maintaining and enhancing a diverse fleet of machines, where electrical engineering, control, and mechanics converge. Working closely with a small team, you will enjoy a great deal of autonomy in addressing challenges.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on machines, installations, and tools.
• Analyze and resolve electrical malfunctions, including PLC controls and drives.
• Assess malfunctions and identify when external assistance is needed.
• Develop temporary solutions to maintain safe production operations.
• Guide and support operators in technical maintenance tasks.
• Supervise external technicians and maintenance providers.
• Contribute ideas for improvement and optimization of machinery.

Ideal Candidate

• Holds an MBO degree in electrical engineering or possesses equivalent experience.
• Understands and can interpret technical drawings and electrical schematics.
• Has knowledge of PLCs, control technology, and regulated drives.
• Is familiar with machinery like milling, turning, and sawing machines, conveyor belts, and cranes.
• Possesses basic mechanical knowledge or is willing to learn.
• Works independently and makes sound technical decisions.
• Prioritizes safety and quality at all times.
• Enjoys collaborating in a close-knit team.

What We Offer

• A competitive salary ranging from €3,100 to €4,175 gross per month.
• 25 vacation days plus 10 ADV days.
• Opportunities for a permanent contract.
• Collaboration within a small technical team with direct communication (2 colleagues).
• Sufficient opportunity to take initiatives and implement improvements.
• Possibilities for further development in electrical engineering and control technology.
• A stable international organization with a practical and down-to-earth work environment.

This position is unique due to the combination of electrical engineering, control, and mechanics it encompasses. You'll work with a variety of machines, ensuring no two days are alike. Your input will directly influence how malfunctions are addressed and processes are refined.

We understand this is not a standard role. Therefore, we encourage you to apply if you believe you possess the technical foundation and motivation to grow, even if you do not meet every requirement listed.
