This is not your average production environment. The organisation you'll be joining is a global frontrunner in identity security — think biometric passports, secure payment cards, facial recognition at international airports, and cryptographic systems used by governments and banks worldwide.
As Maintenance Engineer, you are the backbone of a smooth-running production floor. When machines go down, you're the one who gets things moving again — but more importantly, you make sure they don't go down in the first place. You combine hands-on technical skill with a structured mindset: you don't just fix problems, you prevent them.
What you'll be doing
- Keeping production equipment in top condition and reducing unplanned downtime;
- Building and executing preventive maintenance schedules;
- Digging into the root cause of breakdowns — not just patching things up;
- Translating technical findings into clear documentation and practical improvement plans;
- Supporting the roll-out and commissioning of new equipment;
- Working with software controls for production machinery;
- Collaborating with production, management, and other departments on both day-to-day operations and longer-term reliability improvements;
- Monitoring facility and utility systems to ensure a safe working environment.
Their Service Centre in Sittard is where precision manufacturing meets cutting-edge technology, producing and personalising cards that are trusted by millions of people every day. A place where engineering genuinely matters.
