Boat technician

Here, you won’t be working on predictable, routine maintenance. Every day is different, and together with your team, you deliver mechanical custom work on winches for fishing vessels, tugboats and dredgers. This calls for craftsmanship, overview and courage. At DMG Holland, you carry out work where your expertise has an immediate impact. No standard maintenance rounds, but assignments that require you to think ahead, take action and work safely. In a close-knit team, you get plenty of independence, responsibility and the opportunity to grow into a team leader role over time. Read on and apply.

As a Technician at DMG Holland, you work on the maintenance, repair and inspection of winches on board ships. Without your technical insight, a vessel stays out of service longer than necessary. You make sure faults are identified quickly, components are safely removed from the vessel and the installation performs as it should again.

You won’t be doing predictable, recurring maintenance. One job may involve diagnostics on board, while the next requires mechanical repair work in the workshop. You read technical drawings, think along on the smartest approach and always take onboard safety into account.

To carry out this role well, you’ll focus on:

• Diagnosing faults in winches, cranes and other mechanical components on board.
• Dismantling components and determining how to remove them safely from the vessel.
• Cleaning, repairing and overhauling components in the workshop in IJmuiden.
• Reinstalling, testing and checking repaired components on location.
• Contributing practical solutions when a job turns out differently than expected.

DMG Holland is a specialist in the maritime and industrial sector, with a strong focus on maintenance, repair and overhaul of winches and related systems. You’ll mainly work for fishing vessels, tugboats and dredgers.

You’ll join a team of around 15 colleagues, with both the operations manager and team leader closely involved on the shop floor. The team works hard, but also takes time to end the week together, for example with Friday afternoon drinks and other activities throughout the year.

You’re an experienced technician who knows how to work safely on board. You’re often the person who takes the lead, sees what needs to be done and creates clarity before others do. The opportunity to grow into a team leader role is something that interests you.

You also bring:

• At least 3 years of experience as a technician in shipbuilding, the maritime sector or a similar technical environment.
• A level 3 or level 4 vocational qualification in Mechanical Engineering.
• A VCA safety certificate, or the willingness to obtain one.
• The ability to read technical drawings.
