Job Overview

We are seeking an experienced Field Service Technician specializing in mobile crane maintenance and repair to join our client at a major industrial project site in Antwerp. The ideal candidate will be responsible for diagnosing, troubleshooting, and performing maintenance and repairs on a fleet of lattice boom and hydraulic cranes (30T-2500T capacity), including brands such as Liebherr, Terex, Sany, Zoomlion, and Grove.

This is a hands-on, field-based role, not an office position. Technicians will be provided with a fully equipped service van for work duties and access to a personal vehicle outside working hours.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform daily inspections, diagnostics, and repairs on mobile cranes (mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and computer systems).
  • Respond to breakdowns and malfunctions reported by operations, ranging from basic issues (battery boosts, hydraulic leaks) to complex troubleshooting (engine regeneration, fault-finding with diagnostic tools like JalTest, hydraulic/electrical systems analysis).
  • Conduct scheduled maintenance (e.g., 750-hour services) and ensure cranes remain in optimal working condition.
  • Collaborate with a remote technical support team for advanced diagnostics (access to wiring diagrams, hydraulic schematics, etc.).
  • Work efficiently during crane downtime (especially after 16:00 when operations slow).

Work Schedule & Conditions

  • Standard Hours: 07:30-17:00 (10-hour day, including 30-minute lunch).
  • Weekend Work: Rare, but required when urgent (overtime compensation provided).
  • Rotation: 6 weeks on / 2 weeks off or 8 weeks on / 3 weeks off.
  • Accommodation: Provided (fully furnished apartment with internet, parking).
  • Transport: Company service van during work hours + personal vehicle available after hours.
  • Flights: Return flights for rotation covered.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Minimum 3-5 years of hands-on experience servicing heavy mobile cranes (hydraulic & lattice boom).
  • Strong expertise in hydraulic systems, diesel engines, electrical systems, and computerized controls.
  • Proficiency with diagnostic tools (e.g., JalTest, Liebherr/Terex diagnostic software).
  • Ability to read hydraulic schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical manuals.
  • Fluent in English
  • Willingness to work on a rotation schedule in Antwerp.
