  • Supervise external contractors during scheduled maintenance
  • Work closely with the Technical Facility Manager to keep things running 24/7
  • Join a rotating on-call duty roster to support operational continuity


What Do You Bring?

You’re self-driven, communicative, and you thrive in high-tech environments where no two days are the same.


  • MBO-level degree, preferably in electrical engineering
