Project Support Engineer

Function

As a Project Support Engineer in Lokeren, you will gradually build up your expertise in fire detection and fire safety. You’ll start within the service team, where you’ll gain a thorough understanding of the systems, technologies and customer environment. Building on this experience, you’ll progress to a broader role in which you’ll be jointly responsible for the technical implementation and commissioning of projects for industrial clients.

Your tasks:

• You will carry out service calls, maintenance work and technical repairs.
• You will inspect and test existing and new installations.
• You will be responsible for the start-up and commissioning of installations from start to finish.

• You will report on the work carried out and technical findings accurately.
• You will work alongside colleagues, subcontractors and clients to ensure high-quality execution.

You’ll be given the opportunity to further develop your technical knowledge through training and practical experience. Thanks to the variety of projects and close collaboration within a growing team, you’ll have the chance to develop further towards a fully-fledged project role.

Profile

For this role, we are looking for a motivated technical professional with a strong grounding in electrical engineering or electronics and the ambition to develop further within fire detection and security technology. A thorough knowledge of fire detection is not a requirement. More important are your technical interest, eagerness to learn and sense of responsibility. You will have the opportunity to build up your expertise step by step through training and practical experience.

Your profile:

• You hold a bachelor’s or master’s degree in a technical subject, preferably with a background in electrical engineering, electronics or electromechanics.
• You work with precision and in a structured manner, and have an eye for quality.
• You communicate fluently and professionally with customers and colleagues.

• You are keen to learn and want to gain a deeper understanding of technical installations, standards and regulations.
• You have a practical and solution-oriented approach.
• You are keen to develop your skills further in the areas of service, start-up and project-based technical support.

Experience with security systems, technical installations or project monitoring is an advantage, but not a requirement.
