On-site Machining Technician
Bring your experience for top-level technical craftsmanship. Work on-site on impressive projects, in the Netherlands and abroad.
Are you an experienced technician with an eye for detail and a passion for metalworking? Do you want to work with the best on-site machine park and tackling the most challenging constructions with your expertise? Then this is your opportunity.
What will you do?
You’re already familiar with machining techniques such as boring, turning, milling, (line) drilling, or threading. But maybe you’re missing challenge, variety, or appreciation. At EMHA, you’ll find all three.
As an On-site Machining Technician, you’ll take our mobile machines to work in ever-changing environments: shipyards, bridges, power plants, offshore installations, and international projects. Together with engineers, planners, and fellow technicians, you’ll create a plan and ensure the work is executed to the finest detail on-site. You’ll solve technical challenges and advise clients on the best solutions. None days are the same—and that’s what makes this role so exciting. If you’re a proud craftsman of precision and quality, you’ll find projects here where your skills truly shine.
Your work environment
On Monday, you’ll join your college technicians to repair a gearbox in a power plant. Thanks to your precision, the plant is soon running at full capacity again. Two weeks later, you’ll head with your team to Norway for a week to machine parts of an offshore platform. By day, you’ll be working with our high-tech mobile machines; by night you will enjoy the local cuisine with colleagues. Back home, you’ll guide a younger colleague at a shipyard who’s performing his first line-boring job independently. You see their enthusiasm, they learn from your expertise, and together you lift both the project and the team to the next level.
