About the Role

Join a leading name in the automotive trailer industry! Based in Wijchen, the Netherlands, our client specializes in designing and manufacturing high-quality, custom-built trailers used around the world. As a Special Trailer Mechanic, you’ll work in a modern, well-equipped facility and be part of a close-knit team where craftsmanship and innovation go hand in hand.

• Identify additional service/repair needs and communicate with the team

 

As a Service Mechanic, you’ll also:
• Visit customer locations for on-site diagnostics and repairs
• Participate in the first-line on-call breakdown service
• Discuss completed work and negotiate repairs with customers
• Take initiative in implementing improvements
• Train and coach fellow or external mechanics

 

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum B1 level in English or Dutch
• Knowledge of hydraulics, electrical systems, and mechanics
• Previous experience in a similar role preferred
• Solution-oriented, independent, and accurate work style
• Strong communication and customer-service skills (especially for service work)
• Valid B driving license (BE is a bonus)
• Willingness to be part of an on-call breakdown rotation (service mechanic)

 

Offer

• Full-time role (40 hours/week, Monday–Friday)
• Occasional weekday overtime
• Competitive gross salary: €18 to €20/hour based on experience
• Trial day on-site; successful candidates will be offered long-term work
• Shoes provided 
• Travel allowance: €0.21/km if using your own car
• Commute by bike, e-bike, or car

 

Work Environment

• Dynamic and forward-thinking company culture
• Spacious, high-tech workshop with modern facilities
• Collaborative, skilled team that values quality and innovation
• Work on trailers used globally—something to be proud of!
