Are you looking for an enjoyable, varied, and independent job as a mechanical engineer in a friendly team? Do you want to make a social contribution and work in a unique working environment, a hospital that places a high priority on patient care and sustainability? We would love to hear from you!

We are looking for a new mechanical engineer colleague for the Huisvesting department at the Harderwijk location. Your role includes the following:

The hospital is equipped with the most modern technologies and equipment, and we are looking for a motivated, experienced mechanical engineer with extensive experience in the field of climate installations, cooling installations, and Meet & Regeltechniek. To ensure the care and safety of our patients, visitors, and staff, you will inspect and manage equipment and installations. You will plan and, as far as possible, independently perform all kinds of maintenance, repair, overhaul, modification, and repair work, for example, on our cooling and climate installations, water treatment installations, medical gases, and CV /stoom installations.

In addition, you will assess mechanical designs for new projects and renovation plans and contribute ideas on possibilities for sustainability. You will do this based on existing procedures, guidelines, and legal requirements. You will independently set priorities in your daily activities in consultation with your direct colleagues. You will solve mechanical engineering problems independently, while always being able to rely on your direct colleagues and the maintenance team leader.

You will also have a role in emergency response and technical calamities. After about one year, you will progress to participating in the 24-hour on-call service. You will perform this service approximately once every eight weeks. Because you must be able to be in the hospital within 20 minutes in the event of a malfunction, it is important that you live in the Harderwijk region or are willing to move there.

Finally, there are many maintenance projects that you can contribute to. You will provide input and advice regarding the replacement of equipment and the choices made in this regard. We work with the most modern technologies, so you will have the opportunity to learn a lot. In short, a very dynamic position!

Our Huisvesting team consists of 21 FTE, divided between Harderwijk and Lelystad. You will primarily work in Harderwijk, but you may also be deployed at other St Jansdal locations, such as Lelystad, Dronten, Zeewolde, or Putten.

What do we ask of you?

You have completed an mbo-4 education in the direction of mechanical engineering, installation technology, or mechatronics, or something that closely aligns with that. Additionally, you have further developed yourself through courses within the field.

You preferably have at least 2 years of work experience in the maintenance and management of technical installations, for example, in utilities or industry. If you have done this in a hospital, that is a plus.

You have knowledge of mechanical installations and know how to maintain them in practice and solve malfunctions. Think of stoom- and condensatesystemen, cooling installations, climate installations, and for example, diesel engines. You also have basic knowledge of meet- en regeltechniek and can logically analyze malfunctions.

You are used to working according to fixed working methods and quality standards. You understand that this is extra important in a hospital and act accordingly.

You can read and understand technical documentation in English.

Because you participate in the on-call service, you live, or will live, at a maximum of approximately 20 minutes from the hospital.

A one-year contract for 36 hours per week (4 x 9 hours is possible) with the intention, under unchanged organizational circumstances and satisfaction on both sides, to convert this into a contract for an indefinite period.

The salary is classified according to scale 45 (mechanical engineer B, FWG 3.0) and amounts to a minimum of € 3,228.-- and a maximum of € 4,346,-- per month based on 36 hours per week. If you start performing the on-call service, the position will be upgraded to FWG 50 (max. € 4,914,--), mechanical engineer B. Additionally, you will receive an 8.33% holiday allowance and an end-of-year bonus of 8.33%.

You build up a pension at Pensioenfonds Zorg & Welzijn. Additionally, we offer interesting extras, including a discount on your health insurance premium, company fitness, and the MKA (Meer Keuze Arbeidsvoorwaarden) scheme.

Through the St Jansdal academie, you can work (online) on your personal and professional development. There are also regular fun initiatives, including workshops, to keep you healthy and vital.

As a mechanical engineer, we also offer the opportunity to further develop your professional expertise by following specialized training courses.

Are you enthusiastic? We are proud of our technology and would love to show you how special it is to work in a hospital. Are you curious about this position and/or our installations?
