Put your technical skills on the rails - literally.

Whether you were the kid with a model train set or just someone who gets a kick out of working with machines, this could be your next move. No model trains here though, we’re talking about the real deal.

As a technical team member or electro/mechanical technician, you’ll help keep some of the finest trains in top shape. Your tasks will vary from assembling components and installing wiring to performing electrical work and troubleshooting issues. You’ll be working hands-on at our client’s site in Blerick, surrounded by impressive machinery and a solid team.

What you’ll be doing:

• Carrying out maintenance under the guidance of experienced colleagues;
• Handling repairs and helping track down technical faults;
• Logging your work and keeping records up to date;
• Running basic checks at the start of each shift.

During your first weeks, you’ll be trained on the job by seasoned coworkers. If you’re already experienced, you can hit the ground running and possibly take on more responsibilities quickly. No background with trains? No problem, if you’ve got technical know-how, there’s room to grow here. Every day brings a new puzzle, thanks to the variety of train types and projects.

Project details
The current assignment runs until mid-November. What comes after isn’t fully defined yet, but there’s a chance for continuation if the collaboration works out on both sides.
