For the production and final assembly of our advanced, heavy armored wheeled vehicles, Rheinmetall Defence Nederland BV is looking for experienced Assembly Mechanics.
This vehicle is built in its entirety from a bare frame to a driving vehicle.
The tasks in this role are complex and can be more physically demanding than regular assembly. This is because you work with large and heavy components and armored parts.
What you'll do
- Accurate assembly of vehicle parts, laying of control cables, piping, etc., based on technical drawings and specifications
- Integrating and connecting advanced mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems, including heavy wiring harnesses and defense-specific equipment
- Performing strict quality controls and extensive functional tests to meet the highest safety and defense standards
- Independent analysis and resolution of complex technical and structural deviations during the heavy assembly process
- Intensive coordination with engineering, production, and quality management within a demanding LEAN working environment
