As a Technical Assistant, you help ensure that complex technical systems continue to operate safely and reliably. You will work on installations and systems within a High Containment Unit, where no two days are the same. You will receive a comprehensive onboarding programme and plenty of opportunities to further develop your skills and pursue additional training in this unique technical environment.

What you do

  • You troubleshoot and resolve technical faults. You analyse the issue, make the installation safe and ensure it is returned to service as quickly and responsibly as possible.
  • You inspect installations, develop maintenance plans and carry out maintenance independently in accordance with applicable standards and biological safety requirements.
  • You contribute to the improvement of installations, systems and processes, carry out technical work yourself and supervise work performed by external contractors.
  • You maintain technical records and ensure that the necessary materials, spare parts and tools are available. When equipment needs to be repaired or replaced, you take the appropriate action.
  • You carry out activities in accordance with applicable quality and safety procedures and contribute suggestions for improving these procedures, particularly in the areas of safety and quality.
  • You keep up to date with relevant technical developments, particularly those related to equipment, installations and systems used in High Containment Units (HCUs). You also contribute to working groups and project teams involved in the preparation, design, implementation and follow-up of innovation, expansion and modification projects.

Profile

  • You have completed a technical qualification at MBO level 4 (preferably with a background in mechanical or electrical engineering).
  • You preferably have experience of working in a pharmaceutical, food or hospital environment or similar conditions.
  • You are available for on-call duty and can be on site within 30 minutes during this period.
  • You hold a Category B driving licence.
  • You possess problem-solving skills and are able to work well as part of a team.
  • You have a good command of the Dutch language (spoken and written) due to procedures and communication.
  • You work with precision and a focus on quality, combining this with a positive attitude and a sense of humour.

Practical

  • The work will take place in buildings subject to additional quarantine restrictions after you leave (in accordance with EU regulations).
  • This means that you are not permitted to keep animals of the same species.
  • Furthermore, for 72 hours after the work, you are not permitted to have contact with these animals or visit poultry production facilities.
  • You are willing to adhere to these rules.
  • You will become part of a team of 11 colleagues, where everyone has their own area of expertise, but you support one another and are able to work across a broad range of technical disciplines.
  • This flexibility is also essential for responding effectively to technical faults, both during and outside regular working hours.
  • You will have plenty of scope to apply your technical expertise while continuing to develop and expand your skills.
  • You will have plenty of freedom to organise your work and manage your own time, including flexibility in planning your days off.
