Job Description
Do you like to organize, design, and conduct tests for leading airport and parcel projects? Do you like to take an extra step, analyzing the root cause of a failed test, and initiating the process to decide on solutions for this cause? And lastly, do you like to travel, meeting many cultures and seeing places? Then apply now as Integration Engineer in our APAC project integration department.
Vanderlande understands the complexities associated with operating a successful airport and parcel operation and delivers future proof logistic process automation.

Often, testing involves attempts to intentionally break the system to identify any problem areas, based on an analysis of technical risks. Test- and integration engineers contribute to the success of projects through their superior knowledge of the system as a whole, its operational objectives, how its parts work together, and the technical factors that go into its development.
