Job description

Are you a PLC Programmer who likes to keep an overview of different software modules and to work together on the same software project? Do you get excited about commissioning new machines and test solutions, where you program yourself as well as manage external software engineers? Then this position is written for you!

Who we are

Over the past 10 years, In Ovo has been developing and implementing our high-tech Ella machine, which can determine the gender of eggs. This prevents the culling of millions of chicks per machine and has a massive impact on animal welfare and efficiency, saves resources, and creates a more ethically acceptable egg production channel. With new legislation and interest from retailers coming up in multiple countries, we see more and more hatcheries requesting the In Ovo solution to support their business. We will grow considerably as a company, continue to improve our machines and will put many machines in the market, in order to end the culling of chicks completely. This way, we will make a significant, positive impact on animal welfare and sustainability in the global poultry sector over the coming years.

You will be joining a young and ambitious team that likes to have fun. The entire team works ambitiously to realize the success of the company and our solutions. This creates many challenges and therefore also many victories, and successes are there to be celebrated. In short: a pleasant and informal atmosphere! Catching up with colleagues is extremely valuable to us to maintain our connection.

Who you are

Our high-tech Ella machine is controlled by software that allows all components of the machine to work together. Much of the software is supplied by our machine builder. Once it has been delivered, you will be able to analyse the software, discover any errors and ensure that they are corrected.

In your role as PLC Programmer, you keep an overview of the various software modules and you manage external software developers where necessary. You have knowledge of setting up version control software and you have experience working together on the same software project.

Besides that, you know how to set up an architecture and you are involved in programming yourself. You also enjoy solving complex problems on our high-tech Ella machine together with our multidisciplinary team.

Job requirements

As PLC Programmer, you have:

  • At least an HBO thinking level
  • A high level of abstraction (thinking in objects and structures)
  • Experience with programming PLCs within industrial automation
  • Experience with Structured Text (ST) & Beckhoff PLC is a plus
  • Good command of the Dutch and English language
  • A driving license B
  • Willingness to travel regularly for short periods, for the time being within Europe

What we offer

  • A scale-up environment with the opportunity to make a global impact on animal welfare
  • The innovative character of In Ovo, which will support you to continuously seek new opportunities and chances to grow.
  • A fast-growing multidisciplinary team with whom you make the world a little better every day. We are convinced that different backgrounds and perspectives make our team stronger.
  • Personal development, which is our key to success.

Besides that, we offer:

  • Salary based on knowledge and experience.
  • A workweek of 32-40 hours with a healthy ‘work-life’ balance, in which a lot of flexibility is possible
  • Travel opportunities due to our intention for fast international growth
  • Good working conditions, including 25 vacation days (on a full-time basis), a pension and a work-from-home allowance
  • A yearly budget for personal development.

Unfortunately, it is a fact that you respond less quickly to a vacancy when you don’t meet the requirements entirely. This seems to happen more often among women and minorities. We encourage you to apply, also when you have doubts! Let’s discuss your qualities and how we can offer you a fitting role within our cool organization.

When it comes to animal welfare and climate change, all sorts of challenges exist and cry out for imaginative ideas and unconventional solutions. These are precisely the challenges that drive us forward.
