Service & Maintenance Technician – Heavy Machinery

Variety, all-round technology, personal development, teamwork, and Friday afternoons off. That’s what you’ll find at Terberg Matec in IJsselstein. You’ll perform service, maintenance, and modifications on loading systems and refuse collection vehicles. No two days are the same. Every vehicle, every system, and every assignment is different. You’ll work with a wide range of technologies: from mechanics, hydraulics, and pneumatics to electrical engineering and control systems. This is your opportunity to grow into a versatile technician at a stable family-owned company where you can be yourself, colleagues support one another, and you’ll have room to develop your career. 

As a Service & Maintenance Technician, you’ll handle diverse technical challenges every day. You’ll perform custom modifications on vehicles or systems, troubleshoot malfunctions, and carry out scheduled maintenance. Of course, you’ll test your work and ensure everything functions flawlessly. Working with modern technology, you’ll also actively contribute ideas for solutions. Sometimes you’ll work independently, other times with a colleague. Always with a strong focus on quality.

Your main tasks will include:

• 
  
• performing maintenance, service, repairs, testing, and adjustments
  
• hydraulics, mechanics, electrical engineering, and modern control systems.
  
• designing and implementing custom solutions for vehicles and systems.
  
• handling administrative processing of all completed tasks.
  

In short: not standard work and not standard days, but plenty of variety where you’ll learn something new every day.

Depending on where you live, you’ll be based at one of our workshops in IJsselstein, Geldermalsen, or De Kwakel. Wherever you work, you’ll join a friendly and supportive team where your input is valued and your contribution matters.

We also have an active staff association that organizes annual events such as a summer BBQ, Sinterklaas celebration, Christmas party, and other outings. All highly appreciated by our employees. The great atmosphere, impressive products, and opportunities for personal growth explain why many colleagues stay with us for years.
