Mechanical Engineer

Are you a Mechanical Engineer who loves turning ideas into innovative designs? And are you curious about the engineering challenges within the mining industry? As a Mechanical Mining Engineer, you’ll work on challenging mechanical systems and equipment where creativity, technical expertise, and practical engineering come together.

You’ll be involved throughout the engineering process, from the first concept and feasibility studies to detailed design, construction, and testing.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Creating and developing mechanical concepts and 3D CAD designs.
• Performing technical calculations and making well-considered material selections.
• Translating concepts into specifications, drawings, and technical documentation.
• Supporting the construction, assembly, and testing of installations.
• Collaborating with clients, suppliers, and multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Using your creativity and engineering knowledge to develop innovative solutions for the mining industry.

Requirements:

• A higher professional education in mechanical engineering.
• 5 to 10 years of relevant work experience.
• Experience with 3D CAD software (proficient/expert user of Solid Edge and Teamcenter is preferable).
• Affinity with sustainable technology and international projects.
• Excellent communication skills in both English and Dutch (both orally and in writing).
• You are living in the Netherlands or you have a valid EU work permit.

What we offer:

• Gross monthly salary depending on relevant working experience between €4000 and €6000 (plus 8% holiday allowance)
• Plenty of time off: 40 vacation days for a full-time position, with the option to buy or sell additional leave.

• Health and energy: Unlimited access to our in-house gym (in exchange for the sustainable employability day).
