Maintenance Engineer

Maintenance Engineer (Site/Resident Engineer) - Days only, Monday to Friday!

Contract: Full-time, 40 hours per week | Working hours: Monday to Friday, daytime (08:00–17:00)

(Maintenance Engineer / Maintenance Technician / Senior Technician / Technical Lead)

Our partner, an established organisation operating a modern, highly automated warehouse in the Netherlands, is looking for a Maintenance Engineer to support its technical operations. This is a full-time, site-based role (no field work) and plays a key role in ensuring the smooth and reliable operation of automated systems as the site continues to grow and scale.

You will join a small on-site engineering team and contribute to developing robust maintenance practices, supporting system stability, and improving long-term performance. This role is well suited to someone who enjoys hands-on technical work, takes ownership of their area, and is comfortable working closely with operational and technical stakeholders on site.

The role offers fixed weekday hours with no shift rotation (Monday–Friday, 08:00–17:00). During quieter operational periods, engineers are expected to assist with technical or operational-related activities where appropriate.

Your role

As a Maintenance Engineer, you are responsible for maintaining the upkeep, safety, and performance of automated warehouse equipment. Your responsibilities include:

• Performing preventive and corrective electromechanical maintenance on automated material handling equipment, including conveyor systems
• Troubleshooting mechanical, electrical, and control-related faults, escalating complex issues to specialist support where required
• Carrying out scheduled maintenance activities in line with agreed schedules, procedures, and safety standards
• Supporting and maintaining automated systems such as pallet handling equipment, cranes, conveyors, and robotic solutions
• Contributing to high system availability by following maintenance best practices and driving continuous improvement
• Working safely at all times, following on-site safety procedures, and proactively identifying and reporting risks
• Building effective working relationships with on-site teams and key stakeholders to support reliable daily operations

About you

To succeed in this role, you bring a solid technical background combined with a practical, collaborative approach. The ideal candidate has:

• A technical qualification in mechanical engineering, electrical maintenance, mechatronics, or a related field
• Experience with preventive maintenance programmes and structured maintenance schedules
• A hands-on, solution-oriented mindset with strong communication skills
• The ability and willingness to work at height, with tasks up to 30 metres
• Experience in automated or industrial environments; exposure to PLC diagnostics or fault codes is advantageous
• Professional English - Dutch would be an added advantage.

If you are looking for a stable, on-site engineering role within a modern automated environment, with clear working hours and opportunities for growth, we look forward to receiving your application.
