Mechanical Engineer Heavy Equipment (practice-oriented)

We are specialists in attachments for heavy equipment. From loader buckets to boom extensions: we develop and produce solutions that are exposed to extreme forces daily. That means: top quality, craftsmanship, and plenty of technical challenge.

Everything is custom-made, using the best quality steel and produced quickly at our own location in Eindhoven. Our customers are strong, nationally and internationally leading companies that make a difference in the demolition, dredging, earthmoving, recycling, and transshipment industries.

Are you a mechanical engineer who doesn't just want to sit behind a computer, but prefers to also get out into the field? Do you get energy from designing robust buckets, booms, boom extensions, and other heavy-duty constructions — and do you enjoy visiting customers on-site to see how your ideas make a difference?
Then we are looking for you!

What will you do?

As a Mechanical Engineer Heavy Equipment, you will work on challenging custom solutions for loaders, excavators, and other heavy machinery. You are responsible for the complete engineering process: from problem exploration to design and handover to production.

• You develop custom buckets, booms, extensions, and structural components for heavy equipment.
• You create 3D designs (Solid Edge) and prepare working drawings for production
• You perform strength and load checks (FEM or manual calculations).
• You visit customers, inspect machines on-site, and contribute ideas for technical solutions
• You translate practical needs into a smart, safe, and manufacturable design
• You work closely with production planning, welders, and production: you see your design truly come to life.
• You manage projects from A to Z and have a lot of freedom in technical choices.

• You do not design for a theoretical world: your constructions are used intensively in construction, earthmoving, and industry.
• You see your own solutions actually in action on large machines.
• You work on projects involving force, mass, steel, wear layers, and serious loads — real engineering.
• You have variety between office work, the workshop, and customer locations.

• A position in which design work and site visits alternate
• Working on unique custom projects under a premium label
• Great technical freedom and a modern engineering environment
• An informal, craft-driven, professional organization with short lines of communication
• An enthusiastic, close-knit team: we put our shoulders to the wheel together and get the job done
• Opportunities for further specialization (FEM, welding technology, hydraulics)
• Good and flexible employment conditions

Are you ready for a role in which you both design and can observe the work in practice? Respond for more information. You are also welcome for an introductory meeting in the workshop.
