Service Specialist at FoodeQ Engineering

Service Specialist

As a service specialist at FoodeQ Engineering you keep production lines in the food industry running, in the Netherlands and far beyond. You are the one who solves breakdowns, carries out maintenance and brings installations to life at our customers worldwide.

Do you have experience as a service specialist and are you ready for more freedom, responsibility and an international challenge? Then we challenge you to apply at FoodeQ Engineering.

You work independently or together with colleagues on our specialist machines and complete production lines. No two days are the same: one day you solve a breakdown at a customer in the Netherlands, the next you are on your way to a project somewhere in Europe or beyond.

FoodeQ is growing fast and you grow with us. Join a team where trust, flexibility and innovation come first and where your technical skills really make a difference.

About FoodeQ

FoodeQ Engineering develops, installs and maintains specialist machines for the food processing industry. Think of vibratory conveyors, cooling and freezing systems, steam and baking ovens, and complete production lines.

Since our start in 2009 we have built a strong position in the Netherlands, and today the whole world is our field of work. Our customers expect quality and reliability, and that is what we deliver with a close-knit team of driven colleagues.

At FoodeQ we like short lines, a down-to-earth approach and working together. We work hard, but we also make time for fun: Friday afternoon drinks, outings and a game of pool or pinball in the canteen.

A day as a service specialist at FoodeQ

You start your day early and leave our site in Steenbergen in a fully equipped service van, heading for the customer. On the way you go over the exact work with the service coordinator by hands-free phone. The outline was already in your Outlook calendar.

On site you start by inspecting the installation. You check the machines, take measurements and spot deviations. See something that is not right? Then you deal with it straight away. You consult the customer, make sure the right parts are available and carry out maintenance or repairs.

After a short break you finish the work and make sure everything is running optimally again. You go over the planning for the rest of the day and help out at another location where needed.

Sometimes you work abroad for several days or weeks on larger projects and installations. At other times you are in the Netherlands or you help with the assembly and testing of new machines in our workshop.

At the end of the day you finish with a good feeling: thanks to you, production at the customer is running again.
