Experienced Electromechanical Maintenance Technician – Rail

You will spend around 90% of your time in the field. Working with a colleague, you will carry out maintenance, inspections and technical interventions on specialised installations in the rail environment. Most assignments are in Antwerp, Brussels and Ghent, with additional interventions elsewhere.

• Carry out preventive and corrective maintenance on technical installations.
• Analyse and resolve mechanical, electromechanical and electrical faults.
• Assess technical situations independently and help determine the appropriate course of action.
• Carry out measurements, inspections and interventions using professional tools and test equipment.
• Liaise with colleagues, engineers and project managers.
• Depending on your experience, coordinate activities and take a leading role in the field.

Rail experience is an advantage, but not essential. You bring a solid technical background and relevant practical experience; Buhlmann will teach you the specific installations, procedures and safety requirements of the rail environment. Experience in industrial maintenance, machine building, installation engineering or field service can be highly relevant.

After your induction period, you will take part in the on-call rota. Urgent night-time interventions are limited to a few occasions per year. In addition, there is on average around one planned night intervention per month, with time off in lieu afterwards.

We are looking for an experienced technician who knows the trade, can tackle technical problems independently and takes responsibility for safe, high-quality execution.

• Technical qualification in electromechanics, mechanics, electricity, or equivalent experience.
• Several years of relevant practical experience in maintenance, industrial installations, machine building, field service or a comparable technical environment.
• Strong foundation in mechanics and electromechanics, complemented by sufficient electrical knowledge.
• You analyse problems methodically, work independently and consult others when the situation requires it.
• You enjoy field work and are comfortable in a role involving travel to different sites.
• Experience as a lead technician, team leader or site supervisor is an advantage; even in such a role, you still want to remain technically involved.
• You can communicate operationally in Dutch and/or French and have sufficient English for technical communication.
