WHAT WILL YOU DO AT ABB?

The world is your working area. Because where one time your help is needed on a naval ship in Den Helder, the next job will have you working in the port of Singapore on a passenger ship. As a service engineer, you ensure that our customers can continue their work properly, safely and securely. Within Marine & Ports, we have 3 different disciplines on which our service engineers focus. You ensure that metre-long ships manoeuvre smoothly and safely through all seas and world ports. At ‘Drives’, for instance, we work on the propulsion of ships. In ‘Power’, the focus is on switchboards, among other things. You maintain and upgrade these, in addition to troubleshooting. Automation’ is where we make various automated systems function optimally. Think of propulsion control and power management systems, main engine control and security systems. In this role, the focus is more on switchboards.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES ARE:

• Fixing simple to very complex failures on ships and platforms. And very occasionally in an industrial environment.
• maintaining breakers and switchboards.
• commissioning new equipment. A lot depends on this: fortunately, you can always rely on other specialists at ABB.
• providing technical support, both remotely and physically at the customer site.
• carrying out (or having carried out) work ‘onsite’, working with colleagues, subcontractors and the customer.
• preparing reports and recording work administratively. This is also part of the job.
• advising customers on maintenance and possible improvements.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE ROLE

Can we call you a real adventurer? Because you are someone who likes to see something of the world. You see working abroad as a great adventure. You also like the variety of a job closer to home. What also characterises you is a positive-critical outlook combined with your own opinion. Because being a bit headstrong can yield the best results. You also have a great sense of responsibility, because on location you are the person who has to do it for the customer. You are happy to take on that role. Furthermore, you have:

• a higher professional education level in a technical field, for example electrical engineering, mechatronics or mechanical engineering.
• several years of experience in a technical, service-oriented position.
• experience with technical processes, preferably already within the maritime sector.
• a good command of the English language. Knowledge of the Dutch language is an advantage.
• a driving licence (B).

For this position, you will be working a lot for clients abroad. You are therefore willing to spend periods away from home, alternating with being at home.
