Maintenance technician | 5-shift system

Since 1969 we've been making croquettes in Tilburg and since 1972 satay. To supply the whole of the Netherlands with our snacks, the production lines must run smoothly.

As a breakdown and maintenance technician you feel at home in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same. That gives you energy! Together with your colleagues you make sure the machines run optimally and you carry out preventive maintenance. You fix faults in the electrical and mechanical areas within production, and you also repair and maintain machine modules in our workshop.

You also help come up with improvements to the machinery or production processes. You record your work in the maintenance system. You communicate with various colleagues and everyone helps each other.

The technical service team consists of 15 enthusiastic technicians who like to roll up their sleeves, are very collegial and sociable. They value teamwork and enjoy a good laugh.

You're a great colleague, a tinkerer through and through, a hands-on person, careful and solution-oriented.

• You have a completed technical MBO-3/4 qualification in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, electrical engineering or a related technical field.
• You have experience as a maintenance mechanic, breakdown mechanic, all-round mechanic, technician, shift mechanic, junior mechanic or service mechanic in a technical environment.
• You want to further develop in mechanical and electrical maintenance.

You'll be hired directly by us and receive a good salary of €3,800 - €5,000 including a 28% shift allowance. With an average work week of 33.6 hours we aim for a pleasant work-life balance.

What else is included:

• 25 days' holiday;
• 8% holiday pay;
• 3% year-end bonus;
• Travel allowance from 10 km one way (maximum €151 per month);
• Pension scheme;
• Collective insurance (accident, liability, WIA top-up);
• No-sickness bonus (€175 to €215 net per year depending on your own absence and the company's absence);
• Gym allowance;
• Opportunities to develop further through training and courses;
• Lots of freedom — you can think outside the box, which makes the job fun and varied;
• Tasty snacks to try, also at home with a discount.

At Van Geloven Tilburg, traditionally known as Ad van Geloven, you'll find around 250 people working in our factory. Our Tilburg site is the world's largest croquette factory. Each year we turn over roughly €300 million.

Besides our ragout products (croquettes and bitterballen), we also produce satay, spring rolls and chicken products in Tilburg. Did you know we fold our spring rolls by hand? We also pack our mini snack mixes, like Mora's Funmix, as well as the larger boxes for the hospitality sector, in Tilburg. This is where our mini snack favourites from different factories come together.

Van Geloven has a long history in Tilburg that goes back to the early 1960s. Back then we started with the production of soups and ragout. In 1969 the first croquettes came off the production line.

Originally started as a family business, those values are still visible today. We have an informal culture. Our CEO is approachable and his door is open to everyone.

We put our employees at the centre. There is also an active staff association.
