Technical Officer

Function

• Planning, executing and following up on preventive maintenance
• Analysing and resolving electrical, mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic faults
• Identifying the root cause of recurring faults
• Managing external technicians
• Monitoring the safety and reliability of the machinery
• Supervising the start-up, installation and commissioning of new machines
• Managing spare parts, technical documentation and hand tools
• Drawing up technical improvement projects

Profile

• A professional bachelor's degree in mechanics, automation, electronics or a comparable technical field provides a good foundation. More important than a specific study route is your ability to translate technical principles into practical solutions on the shop floor.
• You bring approximately three to five years of relevant experience in production, technical planning, work preparation, logistics coordination or a comparable environment. A solid first work experience is sufficient; experience with Exact is welcome, but you do not need to be tied to one specific system.
• Being able to read electrical diagrams and understand technical processes helps you to create realistic schedules and correctly assess bottlenecks. Experience with MRP, ERP or production planning is a clear advantage.
• Accuracy is essential: small errors in material availability, combinations or transport planning can affect the entire production process. You therefore work in a structured manner, follow up on agreements and maintain an overview when priorities change.
• You communicate clearly with production, project management, suppliers and logistics colleagues. In addition, you are willing to take on responsibility for multiple people and are open to evolving towards a two-shift operation, without permanent on-call duty but with availability to be the first on-site in an urgent situation.
