What defines this as a junior role?
As a Junior Field Service Engineer, you are at the start of your career. You have a maximum of two years of work experience or have recently graduated with a vocational technical degree (MBO 4). In this role, you will work closely with experienced colleagues and learn the trade through hands-on practice.

That’s why we make sure you have plenty of room for relaxation outside of work. Work hard, play hard. Our projects are challenging, our outings are legendary, and we believe that staying fit and energized is essential to performing well.

What will you be doing?
As a Junior Field Service Engineer at TRIBE, you will work alongside experienced colleagues to service, maintain, and provide technical support for industrial machinery and installations. You will perform activities at client locations and learn how to ensure systems remain reliable and operate without malfunctions.
You will primarily be active in the execution phase, supporting the resolution of technical malfunctions and performing service and commissioning activities. Step by step, you will grow toward greater independence in the field.
Other key activities involve:
- Assisting with service, maintenance, and pre-commissioning activities;
- Assisting with the configuration and optimization of components;
- Assisting with troubleshooting and resolving technical malfunctions;
- Installing and optimizing control systems under supervision;
- Testing I/O and control system functions;
- Assisting with the commissioning and testing of machinery and installations;
- Identifying and reporting technical deviations;
- Drafting service and work reports;
- And of course, being a source of entertainment for your colleagues.
What do you need for this role?
For this position, we are looking for someone with technical insight and a healthy dose of guts. Whether you have two right hands or, as a lefty, two left hands, it doesn’t matter to us. What counts is that you know what you’re doing. You have at least a vocational degree (MBO 4) in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Marine Officer, or a similar field. Engineering is in your DNA; that much is clear.
You hold a valid category B driver’s license and work in a safe and responsible manner. You already possess certifications such as VCA VOL and NEN 3140 VP, or you are willing to obtain them through us. Experience with NEN 3840 VP is considered a distinct advantage.
Additionally, you are someone who works independently, thinks in terms of solutions, and takes ownership of your work. You communicate clearly with colleagues and clients and know exactly what is needed to get the job done right. You can be serious when the situation demands it, but you never lose your sense of humor. To us, that last part is just as important as your technical skills.
Where will you be working?
The TRIBE office is located in Houten, but we work on projects throughout the Netherlands and across the globe. We always plan these projects together with you, ensuring that travel time is minimized so you can fully enjoy your work, friends, family, and hobbies. Balance is key.
Or is this the role for you?
Once we receive your application, we’ll do our best to get to know you as well as possible, but above all, to introduce ourselves properly to you. If all goes well, you will become part of our family for the years to come. It’s essential that you have no remaining questions and feel absolutely certain that you belong with us.
Interested? If you can see yourself in this role and would like to meet us, please complete your application and get in touch. We look forward to welcoming you soon!
During our introductory meetings, you’ll have the chance to ask us anything. This way, you get a clear picture of who we are and what the role entails, while we get to know you better. Want to score some extra points? Start the conversation with your best joke!
Had some good conversations and almost ready to sign? You are always welcome to shadow a colleague on a project to see and feel for yourself if this is the right move for you. We’re easygoing about it and you get to keep your TRIBE t-shirt afterwards!
The interviews are done, the vibe is right, and everyone is satisfied. It’s time to sign the contract!
