Field Service Technician – Heat Exchangers

We are working with an established international engineering company specialising in industrial heat transfer technology and heat exchangers. Due to continued growth of their service team, they are looking for a practical and motivated Field Service Technician to join their Dutch operation.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys working with industrial equipment, travelling to customers and solving technical problems in the field.

Previous heat exchanger experience is an advantage, but not essential. Full training will be provided for the right person.

The Role

After an initial training period in the workshop, you will work across the Netherlands and Benelux, visiting customer sites to carry out service and maintenance activities on industrial heat exchanger equipment.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Maintenance, inspection and servicing of industrial heat exchangers
• Disassembly, repair and reassembly of equipment
• Troubleshooting and fault finding
• Preventative maintenance and technical inspections
• Supporting customers with technical issues
• Carrying out service work independently at customer sites
• Completing service reports and documenting completed work
• Working closely with the workshop and wider service team
• Participating in an on-call rota, approximately once every six weeks

You will work with customers across a range of industrial environments, including food and beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, energy and manufacturing.

What are we looking for?

The company is particularly interested in practical, reliable technicians with the right mentality and attitude. Exact qualifications or previous heat-exchanger experience are less important than your ability to work hands-on, solve problems and develop technically.

Your background could include:

• Field Service Technician
• Service Engineer
• Service Technician
• Servicemonteur
• Servicetechnicus
• Maintenance Technician
• Mechanical Technician
• Electromechanical Technician
• Mechatronics Technician

We are particularly interested in experience with:

• Mechanical or electromechanical equipment
• Industrial machinery
• Maintenance and repair
• Fault finding and troubleshooting
• Installation and commissioning
• Working independently at customer sites

Heat exchanger experience is a bonus, not a requirement.

The right mentality

This opportunity would suit someone who:

• Enjoys travelling and working at different customer locations
• Is hands-on and practical
• Takes ownership of their work
• Is comfortable working independently
• Has a strong customer-focused attitude
• Enjoys solving technical problems
• Is flexible and comfortable with occasional emergency work
• Has a stable and consistent employment history

Requirements

• Fluent Dutch
• Good English
• Relevant hands-on technical experience
• Willingness to travel extensively across the Netherlands and Benelux
• Full driving licence
• Right to work in the EU

French is an advantage but not essential.
