What will you be doing?
As a Senior Field Service Engineer at TRIBE, you will work independently on the servicing, maintenance, and technical support of industrial machinery and installations. You will perform activities at client locations and take responsibility for the quality, safety, and progress of the work. You ensure that systems operate reliably and without malfunctions, and you serve as the primary technical point of contact during service and commissioning projects.
You will be active in both the execution and coordination phases, independently tackling complex malfunctions and commissioning projects. You maintain a clear overview on-site, coordinate with project management, and proactively think along with the client regarding optimizations and improvements.
Other key activities involve:
- Performing and coordinating service, maintenance, and pre-commissioning activities;

- Installing and optimizing control systems;
- Testing I/O and control system functions;

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 and have already gained substantial practical experience (5+ years). 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.
