Vacancy
As a Medior Mechanic at Van Tunen you are responsible for carrying out maintenance, repairs and modifications to various earth-moving machines, from excavators to bulldozers and dumpers. At the workshop in Beverwijk you carry out periodic maintenance and inspections and diagnose mechanical, hydraulic and electrical faults. This way you make defective or damaged machines technically ready again, so that they can be used immediately for the next job. You disassemble, repair and assemble machine parts and afterwards carry out extensive tests and calibrations to ensure optimal performance and safety.
This work takes place in the workshop in Beverwijk or, if you are interested, at various project locations throughout the country or abroad. You can also work on building, converting and modifying new or existing machines for specific projects. You'll work on developing and constructing hydraulic and electrical installations and think about how modifications can be carried out in a better structural manner. Machines that arrive at the workshop 'empty' can be adapted by, for example, making special supports, installing GPS systems or constructing additional mountings.
At the workshop, you will work in a team of driven Mechanics, each with their own specialty, who support each other where necessary. On large projects, you work in a team of approximately six Mechanics led by a Project Manager, where the tasks are divided among the Machanics and are largely carried out independently by each of them. You will also work with the Workshop Manager to discuss the progress of the jobs and, for example, determine which materials still need to be arranged.
If you have a strong bond with technology, find earth-moving machines interesting, enjoy working in a team on the maintenance of large machines and can deal well with short deadlines, then this is the job for you.
Working week
On a good working day there is a pleasant but also productive atmosphere in the workshop, with constructive cooperation on a large machine. It is very satisfying when a complex hydraulic modification or a customer-specific adjustment is successfully completed and shows a positive test result.
On a less pleasant working day, you carry out work that you are less comfortable with. In addition, it can be frustrating when crucial parts are out of stock in the warehouse, causing work to come to a temporary standstill.
