As a maintenance technician, you will work in a large, fully automated distribution centre where technology is constantly in motion. Conveyor systems, roller conveyors, lifts and other automated installations ensure that enormous volumes of goods are moved throughout the warehouse. If a system comes to a standstill, that is where your work becomes interesting: identifying the cause of the problem and getting the system back up and running as quickly as possible.

You will work with a broad combination of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and control technology. One fault may be caused by a mechanical component, while the next may require electrical troubleshooting or analysing the control system. You will look beyond simply replacing a faulty component: you will determine the root cause and identify what is needed to resolve the issue properly.

Using advanced monitoring applications, you can see what is happening within the system and systematically identify technical and system-related faults. You will carry out repairs and maintenance and accurately document significant breakdowns and maintenance activities.

It is precisely this combination that makes the role so interesting: rather than working on a single machine, you will work with an entire automated system in which different technologies come together. You will have the freedom to investigate faults independently, develop solutions and further expand your knowledge of control technology and PLC systems.

You will be working for an international specialist in automated logistics solutions. At the site in Zaandam, a technical team works every day on one of the most modern and highly automated distribution centres in the Netherlands.

Behind the scenes, an impressive combination of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and control technology ensures that enormous volumes of products reach the right place. As a Maintenance Technician, you will work at the heart of this technology and deal with complex installations where system availability is essential.

You will be given a high level of responsibility, work alongside experienced technical colleagues and make a direct contribution to the continuity of the logistics process.
