Maintenance Technician | 5-shift | Tilburg

Since 1969 we have been making croquettes in Tilburg and since 1972 satay. To supply the whole of the Netherlands with our snacks, the production lines must run without problems.

As a maintenance and breakdown technician you feel at home in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same. That energises you! Together with your colleagues you make sure the machines run optimally and you carry out preventive maintenance. You fix faults in 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 machine park or production processes. You record your work in the maintenance system. You liaise with various colleagues and everyone helps one another.

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

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

• You have experience as a maintenance mechanic, breakdown mechanic, all-round mechanic, technician, shift mechanic, junior mechanic or service mechanic within a technical environment.
• You want to further develop in mechanical and electrical maintenance.

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

At Van Geloven Tilburg, historically known as Ad van Geloven, around 250 employees work in our factory. Our Tilburg site is the world’s largest croquette factory. Each year we generate about €300 million in turnover.

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, such as Mora’s Funmix, and 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.

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

We put our employees first. We also have an active staff association.
