For this role, we are looking for a Mechanical Engineering Project Engineer with a bachelor’s degree in engineering and a keen interest in mechanical design, mechanical engineering and project-based engineering. You do not need to have a full grasp of all the technologies just yet, but you should be keen to take on responsibility and contribute with a solution-oriented approach.

• You hold a bachelor’s degree in Electromechanics, Mechanics or an equivalent technical qualification.
• Ideally, you will have experience in project engineering, mechanical engineering or industrial systems.
• You have experience with 3D CAD software; knowledge of Autodesk Inventor is a strong asset.
• Knowledge of EPLAN and/or Siemens PLC would be an advantage, but is not essential.
• You have knowledge of, or an interest in, CE regulations and machine safety.

• You are a good communicator and enjoy working alongside colleagues from various technical disciplines.
• You take responsibility for your projects and actively seek solutions when technical challenges arise.
• A good command of Dutch is essential.
• You also have a good knowledge of English due to the international working environment.

Organisation

As a Mechanical Engineering Project Engineer, you will be joining an international technology company in the Deinze area, specialising in industrial spraying and nozzle technology. The company develops solutions for a wide range of industrial applications, including coating, cooling, cleaning, humidification, lubrication and other production processes.

The Belgian site is responsible for, amongst other things, developing and building bespoke, automated sprinkler systems. Engineering and production are located close to one another, which means that, as a Project Engineer, you are directly involved in bringing your designs to life.

The organisation operates internationally and has various production sites around the world. Locally, you will be working in a technical environment where R&D, project engineering and production work closely together.
