Connect to PLC engineer

We are looking for a PLC engineer who points our robots in the same direction. You can do this because you are not just a programmer; you understand how robots think.

Our robots need your guidance because you:

• dare to work with a production line full of the latest robots;
• are itching to dive into complicated cases;
• think working abroad offers wonderful opportunities;
• work hard and don't mind putting in the extra time (certainly not in exchange for extra free time);
• already have a fully automated house.

For the job of PLC engineer, you already have the following:

• at least 2 to 5 years of experience as a PLC programmer or PLC engineer (for example, in the machine building or process industry);
• an University of Applied Science degree in electrical engineering, industrial automation or mechatronics;
• experience with PLC software systems, such as Siemens S7/TIA, Allen-Bradley RSLOGIX;
• good communicative and social skills;
• good communication across borders (at least English).

Opportunities abound at VDL

“The best kept secret of Brabant”. We don't want to blow our own trumpet, but we often hear this from people who visit us at VDL Steelweld. We are part of one of the largest family companies in the Netherlands, and we primarily focus on automation in the automotive industry. To be precise, we are the only system integrator in the automotive industry in the Netherlands. This gives you and your robots the opportunity to work globally for such A-brands as Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo and BMW. How cool will it be to be able to say to your friends, “I had a hand in building that car”?

VDL Steelweld is part of the larger company, VDL Groep. Yet it does not feel that way. Our flat organisation means you are one of us, and you will certainly not be treated as a number. Your supervisors are also your colleagues, and they will always be open to your input and ideas. Whether you work from Breda or you build lines anywhere else in the world, you will be working with colleagues who are just as good in their profession as you. They also understand not to disturb you when you are programming.

The following conditions are hardwired into our organisation:

• a good starting salary per month;
• an initial one-year contract. If neither party has any hesitations, a permanent contract will follow;
• a daily allowance when you work on site;
• 40 days off a year;
• a very favourable overtime arrangement;
• an excellent pension scheme;
• travel allowance:
  • to and from Breda;
  • travel and accommodation will be reimbursed when working on site. Meals will also be reimbursed;
• an excellent pension scheme;
• 8% holiday allowance
• flexible working hours:
  • In Breda you start work between 7:00 am and 9:00 am, and your working day ends between 3:45 pm and 5:45 pm;
  • on site, you will largely determine your own working hours;
• a profit share scheme at the end of the year;
• collective insurances including health and car insurance;
• internal training, growth and development opportunities.
