Vacancy

Acquisition based on this advertisement is not appreciated. We usually fill the vacancies ourselves and in exceptional cases we work with preferred suppliers.

As Electrical Engineer Service & Support at EuroSort, you are responsible for adjusting and expanding the electrical documentation of existing installations. You work for customers that already use an installed sorting machine of EuroSort and want a modification or refurbishment. When a request comes in from a customer, you consult with the Service Projects, Engineering and Purchasing departments to see which disciplines need to be involved in making the adjustments. The plan is then circulated back to the customer.

On the basis of the requested adjustments, you adjust the electrical design and the electrical wiring diagrams. You also expand this documentation where necessary. In most cases, you can work out the adjustments on the basis of the existing drawings, but in some cases you visit the customer to map out what the machine looks like and what exactly needs to be adjusted. During the project, you process the parts lists for the modifications in the ERP system and you regularly discuss the progress of projects with the relevant Project Managers. You also keep your product knowledge of existing installations up to date, so that colleagues can consult you about on this.

You are part of the Service Projects team, which also consists of a Service Project Manager, a Work Planner and a Mechanical Engineer Service Support. You will be working on several projects simultaneously and will be in close contact with the Engineering Department.

If you enjoy coming up with suitable solutions to technical problems and find it challenging to do so in a new team, then this is the job for you.

Working week

Electrical Engineer Service & Support

On an enjoyable day, you use your creative skills to come up with a suitable solution for a customer. You also visit a customer to make a good recording of the machine.

On a less enjoyable day, you make little progress with a project because a lot of internal consultation is still required. Since this is a large project, this coordination is important before you actually start working.

Firsthand experience

A customer asks for electrical refurbishment of an existing sorting machine. How do you proceed?

After internal consultation with the various departments, tasks are divided and then the script is sent to the customer. You examine the current electrical documentation of the customer and try to assess whether the information is sufficient and reliable to make the adjustments. If that is the case, you carry out the adjustments in these diagrams and drawings, possibly in consultation with the engineer who made them. It may also occur that the documentation is not yet complete. In that case, you choose to make an on-site recording of the machine at customers, so that you know exactly what needs to be done. In this process, you work closely with the Mechanical Engineers and your colleagues in the Software department.

At EuroSort, various systems come together in the control of the sorting installations. From controlling various sensors, actuators, motors and servo drives, to communication between different systems, such as servers, HMI and cameras.

Why did you decide to work for this company?
I started in 2011 as an Engineer at EuroSort. In addition, I did project-related purchases. Due to the dynamic growth of EuroSort, I have gradually started to concentrate and professionalize myself more in the field of purchasing. Partly because the organization feels great, from which we get satisfaction together, this is a huge stimulus to develop myself further and to keep the enthusiasm high. This is an advantage of EuroSort for me!
