Vacancy

Acquisition based on this advertisement is not appreciated. We usually fill the vacancies ourselves and in exceptional cases we work with preferred suppliers

As a Mechanical Installation Coordinator at EuroSort you are responsible for coordinating, supervising and controlling the entire assembly process of a sorting machine. When a project has been brought in, you look together with the Project Manager what the planning will look like and what is needed for the assembly process. You ensure that there is sufficient staffing of mechanics and make sure that all the necessary materials are on site. You also make the technical installation plan and the specific work instructions for the parts that need to be assembled.

During the actual installation of the machine, you are the first point of contact for the mechanics on site. You offer technical support in case of ambiguities; consult with draftsmen and send missing parts. You keep a close eye on the progress of the project and adjust the planning where necessary. You record the points for improvement that are reported during the assembly process in the appropriate systems. You implement improvements in the work process partly on the basis of this.

You are part of the installation team, which consists of two other Mechanical Installation Coordinators and an Electrical Installation Coordinator. You also work a lot with Project Managers. You are accountable to the Project Manager.

If you like being the connecting factor between field mechanics and internal colleagues and find it challenging that you sometimes have to solve problems under time pressure, then this is the job for you.

Working week

On an enjoyable working day, I can directly help the onsite mechanics and internal colleagues with their technical questions and think along with them about process improvements and the company’s direction.

On a less enjoyable day, there are multiple problems on site that cannot be solved immediately, slowing down the process.

Firsthand experience

During the installation of a machine, it turns out that certain parts do not fit. What do you do?

During the installation of a machine, you are the connecting factor between the mechanics on site and your internal colleagues. If it turns out that a part does not fit, you first consult with the mechanics to understand the exact problem. Then, based on this information, you sit down with the draughtsman to find out what the cause of the problem is. If it turns out to be a mistake in the design, you consult with the planner and make sure that the replacement materials are sent to the location as soon as possible. Sometimes the delivery time is long and you have to adjust the planning of the project accordingly.

Fishing.

Wiebe de Jong - Manager TECH

Why did you decide to work for this company?
I started as an intern (Engineer) when the company only had a few employees (almost nineteen years ago). The type of company has always given me opportunities to develop and grow in the organization. It has never been boring as the company and product continues to evolve. The company is always open to new ideas.

Mechanical engineering.

Why did you decide to work for this company?
With a predilection for technology, I have always been looking for a working environment in which I have to deal with multiple techniques. At EuroSort, various systems come together in the control of the sorting installations. From controlling various sensors, actuators, motors and servo drives, to communication between different systems, such as servers, HMI and cameras.

Marco Vonk - Purchaser

Why did you decide to work for this company?
I started in 2011 as an Engineer at EuroSort. In addition, I did project-related purchases. Due to the dynamic growth of EuroSort, I have gradually started to concentrate and professionalize myself more in the field of purchasing. Partly because the organization feels great, from which we get satisfaction together, this is a huge stimulus to develop myself further and to keep the enthusiasm high. This is an advantage of EuroSort for me!
