Controls Project Engineer (PLC) – Service Projects

Would you like to progress your career in a dynamic, rewarding and market-leading environment? If the answer is “yes”, then look no further than Vanderlande! We’ll give you the opportunity to work with our inspiring and talented experts on world-class projects – while growing your network, broadening your experience and expanding your horizons.

After your onboarding, where you learn our Engineering way of working, your first project could be to support a Sales Engineer with a modification project to expand an existing system. For example, fitting additional equipment into an existing building and system is not always obvious. Besides that, the system is live, so phasing and logistics are important. After the design, which you create in close cooperation with a Sales Engineer, is ordered by the customer, you set up the detailed engineering and specifications so that Vanderlande can start with the manufacturing of the system.

Your position

As a senior PLC Engineer, you'll design and program PLC controls meeting high quality demands on a project basis. During the commissioning phase, you'll carry out functional testing of the PLC hardware and software and integrate these in the overall control system. This position involves regular on-site working to commission control and transport systems. In most projects, you work with a team of multidisciplinary engineers and are able to do the complete controls engineering by yourself. You’re able to support multiple leads as well as projects in execution at the same time. In live environments, there can always be surprises: together with the team, you will work to a solution to get everything installed and commissioned on time. Being a Vanderlande Controls Project Engineer for Warehousing projects, you are passionate about creating such "impossible engineering" solutions.

Your profile

• This vacancy is open to both junior and more senior engineers
• Successfully completed education at HBO (higher vocational education) level in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Automation, Computer Science, or Controls Technology
• At least 3 years’ experience in a comparable position
