Are you an experienced Electrical Technician looking for a varied role within the industrial sector? For a leading technical organisation in the Amsterdam region, we are looking for an experienced Industrial Electrical Technician.

You will work on a wide range of industrial and technical locations, where you will be responsible for installing, maintaining, modifying and commissioning electrical installations.

This is an excellent opportunity for an independent technician who enjoys hands-on work and wants to continue developing professionally.

As an Industrial Electrical Technician, you will work on a variety of projects within the industrial sector. One day you may be working on a new installation, while the next you could be carrying out maintenance, modifications or troubleshooting.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Installing and assembling electrical installations;
  • Working on machinery, distribution panels, cable trays and lighting systems;
  • Connecting and commissioning complete electrical installations;
  • Carrying out maintenance and repair activities;
  • Participating in maintenance shutdowns and modification projects;
  • Identifying technical improvements and actively contributing ideas to the project team;
  • Determining which materials, tools and equipment are required for each job;
  • Working according to applicable safety, quality and NEN regulations.

You will mainly work in the Amsterdam region and visit a variety of industrial locations where your technical expertise makes a real difference.

Your professional development is important. Would you like to progress towards becoming a Lead Technician, specialise further in a specific technical field or eventually move into a more coordinating role? Together, we will look at a development path that suits your ambitions.

There are also plenty of opportunities to expand your technical knowledge through additional training and courses.

You are an independent and solution-oriented technician who enjoys taking responsibility. You enjoy working as part of a team, but are also comfortable handling assignments independently.

In addition, you have:

  • At least an MBO level 3 qualification in Electrical Engineering, preferably MBO level 4;
  • At least 3 years of experience in industrial electrical engineering;
  • Experience working independently as an electrical technician;
  • A valid driving licence (B);
  • A valid VCA-VOL certificate, or the willingness to obtain one;
  • Good knowledge of electrical installations and relevant safety regulations;
  • Good command of Dutch, at least B2 level;
  • A proactive mindset and the ability to contribute ideas and, when required, instruct or coordinate subcontractors.

You will become part of an experienced technical team working across energy, industry and electrical engineering. From the Amsterdam region, the team delivers complex and technically challenging projects for industrial clients and energy companies.

You will have the freedom to work independently, take responsibility and continue developing yourself as a technical specialist.
