• You are a certified electrician, a degree in electrical engineering and/or automation technology is a plus but certainly no necessity. Your experience in the field is most important.
• You have a few years' experience in the field as an electronics or mechatronics engineer, in a high-speed, high-volume industrial environment. Experience in the food/beverage industry is a plus.
• You have all the authorizations to work either in Belgium;
• You're technically curious and keen to discover the fascinating world of industrial maintenance of our production lines with a market leader.
• Experience in a field service environment is preferable.
• You are speaking fluent French or Dutch. If you speak both, this would be awesome! A good knowledge of English is necessary in order to follow training courses in Germany and to interact with your non-French and non-Dutch speaking colleagues. More precisely, your English must be of that level that you can explain technical issues to German specialists.
• You are a well-organised problem-solver with good communication skills. You are able to examine customer requests and propose appropriate solutions in a professional and customer-oriented manner.
• You have experience of programming with Siemens S7 / TIA Portal and be comfortable using general PC software.

• You are a team player who is able to work independently.
• You're open to work on different sites and don't have any problems with staying over nights during the week (and sometimes even weekends) and/or driving a lot. A 9-to-5 job would definitely not suit you....
