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 the 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, that 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.
