Overhead Crane Service Technician | Hengelo Region

€3,000 to €4,700 gross per month | Own service van | Working in your region

As an Overhead Crane Service Technician , you will work at customer sites in industry, logistics, and ports where lifting installations are essential to daily processes. When a crane is down, work often comes to a standstill immediately. 

Additionally, you will work independently in a fixed region around your base location, allowing you to get to know the customers and installations in your area well. No long drives across the entire Netherlands, but working with customers in your own region.

In the morning, you start at a manufacturing company where a crane has broken down. You locate the fault, tackle it immediately and safely, and ensure the production line can run again.

In the afternoon, you are at a large distribution center for scheduled maintenance. You inspect and adjust installations, perform safety checks, and advise the customer on reliable use and preventive maintenance.

You work independently on-site at customer locations in your region. No two days are the same: one day you perform maintenance, the next day you resolve a fault in a production hall or logistics environment. You analyze technical problems on the spot and independently determine the correct approach.

You work with electrotechnical installations, drives, and mechanical components. You have direct contact with the customer and are the face of Konecranes on-site. Thanks to your craftsmanship, you ensure that installations are quickly and safely operational again  without compromising on quality or safety.
