We offer you an Ocean of Possibilities. Join our family.

Do you work on trucks, cars, agricultural machinery, or other heavy technology? Then this is your chance to make the transition to the maritime world. You do not need to have experience with marine engines yet. We will teach you how to maintain, overhaul, and get large marine diesel engines running again.
We are, of course, also looking for experienced marine engine mechanics. We have written a separate vacancy for this.

*at this moment the workshop is still in Bergen op Zoom. Within a year, we will be moving to the existing workshop in S'gravendeel.

Make the transition to marine engines

At Damen, you will learn to work on medium- and slow-speed marine diesel engines. Together with experienced colleagues, you will develop yourself into a specialist in maintenance, overhaul, and troubleshooting. Experience with marine engines is therefore not required. Technical insight, wrenching experience, and the motivation to learn the trade are more important.

What will you do?

One week you will overhaul large engine parts in the workshop. The next week you will work aboard a ship in Rotterdam, Antwerp, or elsewhere in Europe. Your duties include:

• Performing maintenance and inspections on marine diesel engines
• Disassembling, inspecting, and assembling engine parts
• Performing measurements and recording technical findings
• Analyzing malfunctions and solving them together with colleagues
• Collaborating on overhaul projects in the workshop and on board
• Preparing service reports
• Working according to high safety and quality standards

This position is interesting for technicians who, for example, work as:

• Truck mechanic
• Diesel mechanic
• Car mechanic
• Mobile equipment mechanic
• Agricultural mechanization mechanic
• Technician in the industrial maintenance sector

Do you do a lot of engine wrenching in your free time and do you have a technical education or relevant practical experience? Even then, we would love to get in touch with you.
For example, we have a colleague who is an ex-roofer.

What do we offer?

• A training program in which you learn working on marine engines in practice
• Guidance from experienced colleagues
• Varied work in the workshop and on board ships
• Courses, certifications, and additional training
• You can nicely supplement your monthly salary through high overtime allowances.
• Growth opportunities within Damen
• A company van in the long term, depending on your position and employability

Location

The work is currently being carried out from Bergen op Zoom. Within a year, the workshop will be integrated into our location in 's-Gravendeel, which will become the future permanent base. Additionally, you will regularly work at project locations both domestically and abroad.
