Field Service Engineer Europe

Tinkering, travelling and making a real difference — that's what working at VHB Group is all about.

Are you a technician at heart? Do you enjoy tinkering with large, impressive machines such as cranes, shovels and recycling installations? Do you prefer working outdoors to being cooped up indoors? And would you like to explore Europe at the same time, with all the freedom the open road has to offer? Then we are looking for you.

For the VHB Group, we are looking for an independent, enthusiastic Field Service Engineer Europe who can provide assistance and support for NRC (https://www.nrc-nl.com/) projects.

What will you be doing?

As a Service Engineer, you will be our technical ambassador on site. You will be travelling throughout Europe, where you will maintain our self-built machines, resolve malfunctions and commission new systems. You will work closely with colleagues, but you will also have a great deal of independence and responsibility.

Your tasks at a glance:

• Performing maintenance and troubleshooting on a wide range of installations throughout Europe;

• Commissioning machines that we have designed and built ourselves;

• Inspecting machines for wear and tear and taking preventive action;

• Performing technical inspections of equipment and tools on site;

• Maintaining active contact with installation managers, project managers and engineers;

• Contributing ideas for technical improvements and innovations — your input counts;

• Keeping records of work performed;

• Participating in the on-call service (out-of-hours breakdown service).

You are responsible for your own planning and report directly to the Workshop Manager. You work closely with the Service Coordinator and colleagues at various locations in the United Kingdom and abroad.

What do we offer you?

• A fully equipped service van that allows you to travel comfortably throughout Europe;

• Freedom and independence in your work — you are the expert on site;

• The opportunity to work on machines that we design and build ourselves;

• Room to contribute ideas about innovations and technical improvements;

• Training and career opportunities through our own Academy;

• Travel allowance and good expense scheme;

• 26 days' holiday and a solid pension through the BPL Pension Fund;

• A warm welcome to a friendly, down-to-earth team of real go-getters;

• A dynamic job at an innovative and informal family business.

What do you bring?

You are good with your hands, have a passion for technology and a taste for adventure. You are independent, but also work well with colleagues on site. You see problems as challenges and have the drive to continuously improve in your profession.

• You have completed technical training at a minimum of MBO level 3, preferably in vehicle technology, agricultural mechanisation or mechanical engineering. Do you have a different technical background? No problem. We will teach you the tricks of the trade!

• You are eager to learn, solution-oriented and a good team player.

• You are good at assessing and planning work.

• You have a category B driving licence.

• You are willing to work abroad frequently (several days a week).

• You have good communication skills and speak Dutch well. Speaking English and/or German is an advantage.
