In this role, you will combine technical expertise with the ability to work independently, strong communication skills and a proactive approach. You understand clients’ needs and know how to translate these into concrete and workable solutions.

In addition, you possess:

• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in (electrical) mechanics, mechanical design or a similar technical discipline.
• At least 5 years’ experience as a Project Engineer, Electro-Mechanical Engineer or in a similar technical role.
• Experience in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, chemicals or mechanical engineering is a major asset.

• A good knowledge of Dutch and English.
• Knowledge of safety standards and experience in site supervision.
• An analytical and practical approach.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.

Organisation

You will be joining an independent consultancy and engineering firm that combines technical expertise, design and consultancy with innovative technology and software. With a strong focus on sustainability and social impact, you will contribute to projects that help create a better and future-proof living environment.

You will be part of a multidisciplinary team within the Plant Engineering department in Belgium. You will be given a great deal of freedom to apply your technical expertise to challenging projects in the food industry.

Collaboration is at the heart of our team. You’ll work alongside experienced colleagues, share knowledge and be given plenty of opportunity to develop further. There’s an open and informal atmosphere where you not only exchange ideas on professional matters, but there’s also room for personal interests and experiences. This way, you learn from one another and grow together as a team.

Offer

• You will be working on complex, substantive projects with a broad technical scope.
• You’ll gain a unique insight into production processes and developments within the food industry.
• You will receive a gross monthly salary of between €3,000 and €5,000, supplemented by a comprehensive package of non-statutory benefits. The exact salary will depend on factors including your qualifications, relevant work experience and the level of the role (junior, mid-level or senior).
• You’ll have access to internal and external knowledge-sharing sessions, courses and training programmes.
• You’ll be joining a flat organisation with short lines of communication and an open, supportive culture.
• You will mainly be working on projects across Flanders. This means you do not need to be in the office every day. We would prefer to recruit someone from the Antwerp, Limburg or Flemish Brabant regions.
