Intro

You sometimes only notice technology that works when it no longer does. Within Mediant, we deal with diverse buildings and technical installations that must remain reliable, safe, and future-proof. From air handling and electrotechnical installations to control technology, cooling, and energy-saving solutions.

We are looking for a Technical (Project) Associate who combines technical management with working on maintenance, renovation, and sustainability projects.

Technical (Project) Associate

32-36 hours per week

Mediant is a mental healthcare organization in Twente. With over 1,300 employees, we offer specialist care to people who need it. Our culture is open, down-to-earth, and informal. Lines of communication are short and colleagues easily seek each other out.

Through Facilities Management, we ensure that our buildings and facilities function well and align with what clients and employees need. And from a technical perspective, that presents an interesting challenge. We manage various locations and installations, carry out renovations and refurbishments, and simultaneously work on sustainability and future-proof real estate.

Job Description

What will you do?

As a Technical Project Associate, you will work together with technical colleagues on the management, maintenance, and development of our buildings and building-related installations.

Your activities are broad. You will be involved in planned and corrective maintenance, analyze technical problems, and assess which measures are necessary. Sometimes a situation requires immediate action; in other cases, you first investigate the cause and develop a technically and financially substantiated advice.

In addition, we look explicitly at your technical background and expertise.

Your responsibilities include, among other things:

• management, maintenance, and improvement of buildings and technical installations;
• analyzing and resolving technical malfunctions and issues;
• assessing the technical state of installations and facilities;
• preparing and supervising maintenance, renovation, and refurbishment work;
• identifying improvements in the area of energy use and sustainability;
• drafting technical advice, in which you also weigh costs, risks, and feasibility;
• coordinating with colleagues, suppliers, installers, and other external parties;
• supervising and inspecting work carried out by external parties;
• monitoring the quality and progress of technical activities and projects.

Working on projects

In addition to daily technical management, you will regularly participate in projects. Mediant is continuously developing: existing buildings are being adapted, installations are being renewed, and locations are being prepared for changing requirements and usage.

Depending on your knowledge and experience, you will take on your own technical area of focus within these projects. You will contribute ideas for solutions, assess proposals, and serve as the point of contact for suppliers and executing parties during implementation.

Do you see that something can be technically better, more sustainable, or more efficient? Then you will be given the space to investigate that and come up with a proposal.

Functie-eisen

You are technically curious, practically minded, and used to searching for solutions yourself.
