  • Develop, maintain, and monitor production and maintenance schedules
  • Apply Lean methods such as 5S, Kaizen, and continuous improvement to optimize workflows
  • Serve as the key link between operations, project management, and production
  • Collaborate with an international team to ensure smooth coordination and communication

 

Your profile

  • MBO / Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or Mechatronics
  • Minimum 3 years’ experience in a similar role within machine building or high-tech production
  • Solid understanding of Lean principles and production planning tools
  • Able to read and interpret mechanical drawings
  • Fluent in English; Dutch is a plus
  • Hands-on, structured, detail-oriented, and proactive

 

 

What’s on offer

  • Salary up to €4,200 gross per month, depending on experience
  • 1-year contract (32–40 hours/week) with strong prospects for permanent employment
  • 25 vacation days plus 13 ADV days (full-time)
  • Training and career development opportunities toward engineering roles
  • Possibility to join international installation projects
  • A modern workshop and a supportive, collaborative team
