Maintenance Technician | 5-shift | Tilburg

Since 1969 we have been making kroketten in Tilburg and satay since 1972. To supply our snacks across the Netherlands, the production lines must run smoothly.

As a breakdown and maintenance mechanic 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 both electrical and mechanical areas within production, and you also repair and maintain machine modules in our workshop.

You also help improve the machinery and production processes. You record your work in the maintenance system. You are in contact with various colleagues and everyone helps each other.

The technical team consists of 15 enthusiastic mechanics who like to get stuck in, are very collegial and sociable. They value teamwork and enjoy a good laugh.

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

• You have a completed technical MBO level 3 or 4 diploma, 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 within a technical environment.
• You want to develop further in mechanical and electrical maintenance.

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

What else is included in our offer:

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

At Van Geloven Tilburg, long known as Ad van Geloven, around 250 employees work in our factory. Our Tilburg factory is the world’s biggest kroketten factory. We have an annual turnover of around €300 million.

Besides our ragout products (kroketten 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 favourite mini snacks from different factories come together.

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

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

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