About the Role

Are you a hands-on technician who enjoys combining mechanical work with electrical testing, troubleshooting and precision? We are looking for a Workshop Technician to join our team in Dordrecht. You will support a broad range of workshop and production activities, with a particular focus on load cell exchange, mechanical assembly, inspection, calibration and electrical testing.

This is a role for someone who takes pride in delivering high-quality work, takes ownership of safety and quality, and enjoys working together with colleagues to find practical solutions and continuously improve the way we work.

What You Will Do

• Assemble, fit, repair and refurbish workshop products and subassemblies based on technical drawings and work instructions
• Perform load cell exchange activities, including disassembly, cleaning, inspection and preparation for dispatch
• Ensure accurate serial-number, component and product traceability throughout the process
• Operate approved calibration and test equipment and verify functional performance
• Inspect cables, glands, terminations and other electrical components
• Perform continuity and insulation-resistance testing as well as basic electrical checks and fault identification
• Assemble and terminate load-cell cables and associated electrical components
• Carry out workshop electrical wiring and termination activities where trained and authorized
• Support functional testing and Factory Acceptance Test activities where required
• Complete inspection, calibration and test documentation accurately
• Identify and escalate damaged, non-conforming or abnormal components and test results
• Work safely with hand tools, power tools, measuring equipment and lifting aids
• Contribute ideas and practical improvements that help us work more safely, efficiently and consistently

What You Bring

• MBO level 3/4 technical education or an equivalent practical qualification, preferably in electrotechnics, mechatronics, mechanical engineering, maintenance or a comparable technical discipline.
• Practical experience in a workshop, production, mechanical assembly, maintenance or equipment refurbishment environment.
• Experience with electrical wiring and cable termination is strongly preferred.
• The ability to read and work from technical drawings, wiring diagrams and work instructions.
• Experience with measuring equipment and electrical test instruments such as multimeters and insulation-resistance testers.
• A structured and accurate approach to quality documentation and product traceability.
• Basic computer literacy and experience working with ERP or work-order systems.
• Experience with hazardous-area inspection, calibration equipment or load cell configuration is an advantage. We are also interested in candidates with strong technical fundamentals and the willingness to develop these skills through training.

What We Are Looking For

For us, how you work is just as important as your technical experience. You take responsibility for the quality and safety of your work and speak up when something does not look right. You work carefully and methodically while keeping sight of what needs to be delivered. You enjoy working as part of a team and understand that reliable, high-quality workshop work contributes directly to the solutions and service we provide to our customers. You are curious and practical, look for better ways of doing things, and are open to developing your skills across mechanical, electrical, testing and calibration activities.

You Are Someone Who

• Is safety-conscious, reliable and accountable
• Takes pride in delivering high-quality work
• Has a practical, hands-on approach to problem solving
• Works accurately and pays attention to detail
• Collaborates well and communicates openly
• Takes ownership while knowing when to ask for support
• Is flexible and willing to work across different workshop activities
• Looks for opportunities to improve processes and ways of working
• Is motivated to learn and develop new technical skill

Why Join Us

This is a varied technical role where you can apply your existing workshop experience while developing a broader skill set across mechanical assembly, electrical work, testing and calibration.
