Maritiem Technicus in Amsterdam

What you will do?

As a Maritime Technician (mid-level) at the Flagship Shipyard, you will be responsible for the maintenance, repairs, and ensuring our fleet of electric boats remains in top technical condition. You proactively identify what needs to be done, take initiative, and ensure that tasks are carried out properly from start to finish. You independently perform maintenance and repairs, analyse malfunctions, and provide appropriate solutions. In case of larger technical issues, you develop a plan of action and ensure it is executed efficiently and carefully.

You work on both preventive maintenance and urgent repairs, consistently safeguarding quality and safety. You will work in a hands-on and dynamic environment on and around our boats. Although you are part of a close-knit team, you are expected to work independently, take ownership, and take responsibility for your tasks. Thanks to your technical insight and practical mindset, our boats remain reliable and operational.
