Field Service Technician

Function

As a Field Service Technician, you will be responsible for the installation, maintenance and repair of electromechanical machinery at industrial laundries across the Benelux. You will start work from home and, following a short induction period, be given the necessary autonomy to visit customers independently and resolve technical issues.

Your tasks:

• Installation, commissioning and start-up of machinery and plant.
• Perform preventive and corrective maintenance.
• Analysing and resolving technical faults.
• Carrying out service calls and maintenance visits in Belgium, the Netherlands and, occasionally, Luxembourg.
• Working alongside fellow technicians and fitters.
• Reporting on work carried out and parts used.
• Communicating in a customer-focused manner and ensuring a professional service.
• Working in accordance with the applicable safety and quality standards.

You’ll start with supervision on the job and progress to an independent role with your own responsibilities and schedule.

Profile

For this role, we are looking for a technically skilled and keen-to-learn technician with a solid grounding in electromechanics.

Your profile:

• You must hold at least an A2 qualification in electromechanics or a similar technical qualification.
• You have a good grounding in mechanics and electricity.
• You are technically minded, solution-oriented and keen to learn.
• Once you have completed the course, you will be able to work independently and take on responsibility.
• You enjoy variety, dealing with customers and working on the move.
• You are flexible and willing to work on-call shifts and at weekends from time to time.
• You are willing to work within the Benelux.
• You are customer-oriented and communicative.
• You have a driving licence B.

Experience in field service, maintenance or industrial installations is an advantage, but motivation and an interest in technology are just as important.

Organisation

Our client is a major global player in the field of solutions and turnkey installations for industrial laundries. The company is publicly listed and collaborates with leading players in the sector. Its Wetteren branch is specifically responsible for installation, sales and service activities within the Benelux region.

Offer

You’ll be joining a stable and international organisation offering an attractive package for technicians who enjoy being on the move. You’ll receive thorough training, a great deal of autonomy and the opportunity to progress within a specialist technical team.

What to expect:

• You’ll be picked up from home, and all transport arrangements are professionally organised.
