Temporary employment
Summary
Are you an experienced technician passionate about heavy equipment? Join us for a long-term role in Peest/Assen, dismantling, repairing, and overhauling large machines, with occasional international assignments.
About the function

As a heavy equipment mechanical technician, you’ll work daily on dismantling, overhauling, and rebuilding large machines in the Peest (Assen region) workshop. You’ll use specialized tools to work on hydraulic systems, perform heavy-duty mechanical work, and ensure all tasks are done safely and according to specifications. Occasionally, you’ll travel abroad to dismantle or rebuild machines on-site—a great way to break up the routine of workshop work. A typical day starts with a short briefing before you and your colleagues get to work. You’ll face various technical challenges such as disconnecting hydraulic hoses, using torque wrenches, and preparing components for transport. You’ll work independently and as part of a team, always focusing on safety, quality, and collaboration. No day is the same: one moment you’re tackling a complex repair, the next you’re helping reassemble a machine at an international location. Ready for a long-term, varied role as a mechanical technician in a close-knit team? Apply now and show what you can do! Your expertise is valued, and you’ll have the chance to develop further in the field of heavy equipment maintenance.
