Vacancy

Acquisition based on this advertisement is not appreciated. We usually fill the vacancies ourselves and in exceptional cases we work with preferred suppliers.

As a Mechanical Engineer at EuroSort, you are responsible for designing 3D models of (parts of) sorting machines and elaborating these models into detailed drawings and parts lists. After a customer agrees with a design based on a 2D layout drawing, you ensure this design is further detailed by means of a 3D layout drawing. In this way, you determine an efficient sequence for the assembly and production of the machine. For each part in the design, you then make 2D drawings used for the production of the parts.

You work together with two or three other Mechanical Engineers on a project simultaneously, which is led by a Project Coordinator. In a project, you actively contribute to the development of new project-specific solutions and ensure the correct information reaches the Purchasing and Work Preparation departments.

You are part of the Projects department, which consists of Project Coordinators and Engineers. The department is managed by the Manager Projects and you report to the Head of Engineering.

If you like to participate in designing all the different parts of a machine and find it challenging to occasionally have to make final changes in a short time, then this is a job for you.

Working week

Mechanical Engineer
Jordy Veenstra

On an enjoyable working day, I process the final internal feedback on a design, completing a large-scale project!

On a less enjoyable working day, many small changes need to be processed in other departments, which means I can't make as much progress on a design as I intended.

Firsthand experience

You are asked to design the fencing for a project. How do you proceed?

For many parts of machines there are certain safety standards. So there are also standards for fencing, to ensure a safe situation is created. Before creating the 3D model, you make sure to include the requirements of such standards in your design. For the implementation of any solutions or adjustments, you maintain close contact with the Project Coordinator. You work with two to three other Engineers on a project and you divide the various parts of the machine in advance. This division is based on both experience and the amount of time that everyone has.

Due to the dynamic growth of EuroSort, I have gradually started to concentrate and professionalize myself more in the field of purchasing. Partly because the organization feels great, from which we get satisfaction together, this is a huge stimulus to develop myself further and to keep the enthusiasm high. This is an advantage of EuroSort for me!
