What we are looking for

We are looking for engineers with a strong maritime background and a practical engineering mindset.

You bring:

• 
  Proven experience in the maritime industry, such as yacht building,
  shipbuilding, naval vessels, offshore vessels or marine systems
  


• 
  A completed Licenciatura in Electrical Engineering, Electrotechnical Engineering,
  Automation, Mechatronics, Naval Engineering or a related technical field
  


• 
  A Mestrado in a relevant technical field is also suitable, but not required
  


• Experience with electrical systems on board ships, yachts or other vessels


• Experience with EPLAN P8 and/or AutoCAD is a strong advantage


• Ability to read, interpret and create electrical drawings and technical documentation


• A practical, hands-on mindset and good communication skills


• Good English skills, both written and spoken


• Willingness to relocate to the Netherlands

Maritime experience is a must

For this position, maritime experience is not a preference — it is a requirement.

We are specifically interested in candidates who have worked in environments such as:

• Yacht building


• Shipbuilding


• Naval vessels


• Offshore or special-purpose vessels


• Marine electrical systems


• Onboard automation or control systems


• Electrical engineering for vessels or shipyards

Engineers without proven maritime, yacht-building or shipbuilding experience are unfortunately
not suitable for this specific role.

Also interesting

Besides Hardware Engineers, candidates with maritime experience in related engineering roles
may also be of interest, including:

• Software Engineers with experience in maritime automation or control systems


• Electrical Engineers from yacht or shipbuilding environments


• Automation Engineers with marine systems experience


• Engineers experienced with onboard electrical installations, commissioning or system integration

What is offered

You will work in an international technical environment where complex maritime projects are
designed, built and delivered together with experienced teams.

You can expect:

• A full-time engineering role in the Dutch maritime sector


• 
  A gross monthly salary between €3,800 and €4,500, based on full-time employment
  and depending on experience
  


• Work on high-end vessels, yachts, ships or naval projects


• International collaboration with experienced engineering teams


• Relocation support through Xelvin


• A relocation budget, depending on your personal situation and relocation needs


• Practical support with moving to and settling in the Netherlands


• Opportunities to grow technically within maritime electrical engineering


• A professional environment where quality, safety and reliability are key

Relocation to the Netherlands

This role requires relocation to the Netherlands. You will be working on maritime engineering
projects in the Netherlands, in close cooperation with experienced project teams, shipyards
and technical specialists.

The relocation process is supported by Xelvin, an international technical
recruitment partner that guides engineers moving to the Netherlands for work. Xelvin supports
professionals with practical steps related to relocation, onboarding and settling into life
and work in the Netherlands.

Support may include guidance with:

• Relocation planning


• Visa and residence procedures, where applicable


• Housing support


• Municipal registration in the Netherlands


• Opening a Dutch bank account


• Health insurance guidance


• Practical onboarding into Dutch work culture


• Continued contact after arrival

A relocation budget is available for this position. The exact package will be discussed during
the recruitment process and depends on your personal situation, current location and applicable
relocation requirements.

You will not be expected to arrange the move on your own. Xelvin will guide you before arrival
and remain involved after you have started, helping you settle in and stay connected in your
new environment.

Who you are

You are a practical engineer who understands that maritime systems must work under demanding
conditions. You are comfortable working with technical drawings, project requirements and
multidisciplinary teams. You know what it means to engineer systems that will be installed
and used on board real vessels.

You enjoy working in a project environment, can communicate clearly with technical colleagues
and are able to switch between engineering details and practical execution.

Most importantly: you have already worked in the maritime, yacht-building or shipbuilding
industry and want to continue developing in this field in the Netherlands.

Interested?

Are you an experienced Hardware Engineer with a strong maritime background and are you open
to relocating to the Netherlands?

Then we would like to get in touch with you. Please share your CV and a short explanation
of your maritime engineering experience.
