Woensdrecht - Netherlands

Have you always been curious about the technology behind the F-35? Would you like to be the technical link between the shop floor, customers and suppliers in the aerospace industry? And how does 40 days of paid leave, flexible working hours and multiple bonus payments per year sound? Then take a look at this exciting opportunity at Aeronamic Services in Woensdrecht!

Metaalkanjers is exclusively supporting Aeronamic in recruiting for this position. Your application will therefore automatically be forwarded to Junice Mauriks. You can find the more detailed vacancy published by Metaalkanjers via this link.


ACTIVITIES

As an MRO Product Support Engineer, you will be an important technical point of contact for both colleagues and customers throughout the MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) process. Customers send their aerospace systems to Aeronamic Services for maintenance and overhaul. You will provide technical support throughout this process, from the initial assessment until a system is ready to be shipped back to the customer.

You start your day with a cup of coffee while reviewing your emails and outstanding tasks. At 8:30 AM, you join the production meeting to discuss ongoing activities and any technical issues. Has a discrepancy been identified during an inspection, or does a customer have a technical question? You investigate the issue and determine the necessary next steps.

You will also prepare technical reports and cost estimates and maintain regular contact with the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), as well as colleagues in production, logistics and supply chain. In this way, you ensure that technical issues are addressed and maintenance and overhaul activities can continue smoothly.

Your responsibilities as an MRO Product Support Engineer will also include:

  • Supporting the disassembly and assessment process of incoming systems and helping determine the required maintenance and repair activities.
  • Communicating with international customers and suppliers regarding technical questions, findings and repairs.
  • Preparing technical documentation and coordinating technical matters with various departments.

As the Woensdrecht facility is still developing, your responsibilities are not entirely fixed. There is plenty of room to take initiative and further shape your role based on your knowledge, experience and interests.

You will join a close-knit team of approximately 14 colleagues, where the atmosphere is informal and friendly. Communication lines are short, and colleagues are always willing to help one another.

You will work closely with a colleague who already holds this position and will have sufficient time during your first few months to become familiar with the systems and processes. As part of your onboarding, you will gain hands-on experience in daily operations and benefit from the technical expertise of colleagues at our Almelo facility. This will give you the opportunity to develop your skills and gradually take on more responsibility.

WHAT WE OFFER

You’ll join a relatively new team of 14 colleagues at the Woensdrecht site, plus another 150 teammates at the main location in Almelo. This position has opened due to increasing workload and a need for reinforcements to support our growing volume. Aeronamic is known for offering outstanding employment conditions—surpassing even the Metalektro collective labor agreement—and great extras.

  • Direct employment with Aeronamic Services
    No agency or temporary contracts—we want to achieve success together, starting with a temporary contract and aiming for permanent.

  • Excellent primary and secondary benefits

    • Salary: € 4.000 – € 6.500 depending on experience

    • Travel allowance up to 50 km

    • Pension plan through PME, 28 vacation days + 12 additional days

    • Full 40-hour salary (no “ATV buildup”—you just get the extra days)

  • Multiple bonus payouts per year

    • End-of-year bonus: 3% of gross annual salary (November)

    • Mid-year bonus: 4% (July)

    • Performance bonus: up to 3%
      Your contribution is recognized and rewarded.

  • Health insurance contribution

    • €176.56 gross per month toward your health insurance

    • Annual team outings, staff parties, and a family day every other year

    • A festive Christmas party, of course

  • Sustainable employability

    • Sports allowance

    • Preventive medical exam every 3 years

    • Custom support for vitality and long-term employability

YOU BRING

We believe your attitude is just as important as your technical background. We are looking for someone who is willing to take responsibility, works independently and enjoys collaborating with colleagues.

Someone who takes initiative rather than waiting for instructions and who enjoys investigating technical challenges to understand their root causes.

In addition, we would like you to have:

  • A completed bachelor’s degree (HBO level) in a technical field, such as Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automotive Engineering or Aerospace Engineering.
  • Good communication skills in both Dutch and English, as you will interact with various departments and international stakeholders.
  • A genuine interest in investigating technical discrepancies, identifying root causes and contributing to effective solutions.

Do you already have experience in the aerospace industry or with gas turbines? That’s a definite advantage!

However, we would also love to hear from you if your background is in automotive engineering or mechanical engineering, or if you are just starting your career.
