Mechanical Engineer – make the impossible possible

(Veldhoven, 24-39 hours/wk)

 Skyscrapers in the heart of Manhattan, at an altitude of 450 meters. How do you get building materials and crew there safely, in the shortest possible time and with large numbers?

As a Mechanical engineer at RAXTAR you design world-class systems: vertical transport solutions such as construction elevators and common towers. Our Mechanical engineers develop innovative vertical transport solutions and are involved in a project from start to finish. Conceived, designed and produced in Veldhoven. We previously built thirteen RAXTAR elevators for the 541-meter-high One World Trade Center in Manhattan. Are you working on the next world-class project?

Our offer

A job at a top Brabant manufacturing company, but one that is internationally active and at the forefront of vertical transport solutions. Our construction elevators and Common Tower Solutions are used worldwide to realize impressive skyscrapers and other high-rise buildings.

We have a hardworking and young engineering team, all skilled people who put their shoulders to the wheel. Together we realize end products that you will love. As colleagues, we are there for each other and complement each other. In this way we combine the informal Brabant culture with international achievements at great heights.

• A salary of € 3,000 to € 4,500 gross per month, depending on your knowledge and experience;
• 25 vacation days plus 5 adv days;
• A pension scheme for which we pay 50% of the premium;
• A travel allowance;
• Plenty of development and career opportunities based on your wishes;

Your job

As a mechanical engineer you develop innovative vertical transport solutions and you do not shy away from a challenge. The customer has a problem and we ensure that it is resolved. You are in direct contact with customers and suppliers, involve your colleagues in the office and field staff in collecting the correct information and walk from your workplace into the production where your design is realized.

Independent and responsible, that's how you can describe your role. You are the one who draws up the requirements, determines the concept choices and develops the ideas in outline. With an eye for aspects such as quality, feasibility, lead time and safety, you translate the concepts into constructions. You create designs in Solid Edge, draw up the project plan and coordinate the projects from A to Z. For larger projects you are the lead engineer. You also keep the technical construction file up to date and keep your internal and external contacts - such as customers, suppliers and colleagues in sales and assembly - informed at every stage. You record points for improvement and learning moments with a view to future projects.

RAXTAR continues to grow nicely, are you growing with us?

Your profile

The best result: that is your priority. You use your common sense and ensure that you know how things work in production and on the construction site. By putting yourself in the customer's shoes, you come up with safe, service-oriented solutions.

You can work and make decisions independently, but you also know how to engage and enthuse your internal and external contacts at the right times. You are good at collecting and filtering information and quickly translate it into an affordable and feasible design.

Our wishes:

• You have completed a course in mechanical engineering or similar;
• You have several years of relevant experience, for example as a concept engineer, mechanical engineer or sales engineer at a manufacturing company;
• You are good at methodical design;
