  • Support the management, monitoring, and maintenance of critical building systems, with a strong focus on HVAC installations supporting cleanrooms
  • Coordinate and supervise external suppliers and service partners on-site
  • Contribute to preventive and corrective maintenance activities, including documentation and reporting
  • Support facility improvement projects, energy-efficiency initiatives, and infrastructure upgrades within a high-tech and regulated environment

Your profile

You have the following qualifications:

  • MBO+/Bachelor’s level working and thinking ability, preferably in Facility Management, Engineering, or Building Management
  • 1–3 years of relevant experience in a technical facility or building management environment is considered an advantage
  • Affinity with HVAC systems and complex technical installations
  • Interest in high-tech environments such as cleanroom-based production or R&D facilities
  • Strong sense of responsibility regarding safety, compliance, and continuity (VCA certification is a plus)
  • Proactive, hands-on attitude and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively
  • Good command of both Dutch and English, written and spoken
