The total organisation comprises two cheese dairies and several own shops. Our organisation consists of over 500 employees.

What does it do to you when someone calls you in connection with a breakdown in one of the machines? Does this frighten you or does it give you energy because you can show what you are worth? At that moment, together with the operator, you can make sure our processes are up and running again. During your day shift, you identify possible areas for improvement and carry out preventive maintenance to avoid failures in the future. The installations you work on are very diverse, on the one hand mainly liquid processes such as milk and whey processing, and on the other hand handling and packaging.

Experience in these areas is certainly desirable but we also offer you the chance to improve where necessary. This can be done both by following training and gaining practical experience together with your immediate colleagues. You will work independently but of course also as part of the team with four other mechanics. Together, we can meet any challenges that arise. We immediately consider you a full colleague and give you the opportunity to get to know our plant and systems. After an induction period, you will work on-call shifts, which are divided equally among the TD team. On average, you will have one weekend in every five weeks. In addition, you will have one fixed day on weekday on-call duty, whereby we will take your wishes and private circumstances into account as much as possible. On average, you will be called up twice a month.  

In this position, you have the option of working 32 or 36 hours.
