Troubleshooting and Maintenance Technician (Mechanical)

What you'll do

As a troubleshooting and maintenance technician at Trouw Nutrition, you will be working for a world leader in the field of livestock and fish feed. And you are the specialist for the mechanical part, ensuring the optimal functioning of all process installations at the Deventer location. How do you do that? Through the following maintenance responsibilities:

Predictive: ensuring the integrity of the equipment by performing periodic checks and by taking the correct actions through data analysis to prevent a problem from occurring.
Preventive: based on the maintenance plan, planned inspections and activities are carried out on the installations in the factory and buildings. These activities are in the mechanical, electrotechnical, and pneumatic fields.
Corrective: additionally, you are responsible for independently solving malfunctions, implementing improvements, investigating structural problems, and being able to translate these into solutions.

In this position, you perform all occurring activities. In both the mechanical and electrotechnical fields. As a knowledge carrier in the mechanical field, you are the go-to person for colleagues with a mechanical engineering background. Naturally, this works vice versa. The team motto is: one team, one task.

Safety and quality are always at the top of your activities. In all the hustle and bustle, extra work can sometimes arise; it is up to you all to make a good distribution. Are you finished with the work? Then you log your activities in Ultimo. In this, you document all activities so that the technical history of the installations is known to everyone at all times.

Together with five colleagues and the maintenance manager, you make the team motto a reality. That means colleagues stand ready for one another. An atmosphere of trust and mutual freedom prevails. Both in the work schedule, the execution of activities, and the contribution of new ideas. Your specialist knowledge and skill are certainly relied upon during optimization processes/projects.

The factory operates in two-shift service. Since you are part of the on-call service, where you take on a troubleshooting shift on average once every four weeks, you are reachable and available during this shift service (including sometimes Saturdays) if a malfunction needs to be resolved on location.

You report directly to the maintenance manager and have regular contact with the operators to map out and resolve the complaint and/or malfunction at the installation as efficiently as possible.
