Vacancy

As a Mechatronics Technician at Blok System Supply, you are responsible for all work on electrical installations and panels, such as control cabinets and access gates. You assemble mechanical components and integrate electrical and mechanical parts. You perform assembly work according to technical drawings or work instructions and build products either as complete systems or as submodules.

You also test each product and (semi-finished) assembly according to customer-specific requirements, which ensures a high level of variety in your work. Together with your colleagues, you perform final and intermediate inspections in accordance with the customer-specific final test procedures. In addition, you also carry out in-process checks on your colleagues’ work.

You become part of the Production team, which currently consists of 16 colleagues. You work alongside the Workshop Supervisor, a Quality Inspector, two CNC machining colleagues, and twelve Mechanical/Electrical/Mechatronics Operators. Your close colleagues change regularly due to frequent rotation within projects, meaning you will be in contact with all team members. The workshop has a calm and pleasant atmosphere, making it easy to connect with others.

The workshop is divided into different cells, each assigned to projects for various clients. Within each cell, there is a designated point of contact who, together with the Workshop Supervisor, monitors progress and planning. In addition, there is a dedicated quality contact person—the Quality Inspector—with whom you work closely. You hold consultations, perform joint interim inspections, and conduct final tests together.

If you enjoy working together with colleagues, are able to follow your schedule well, and get energy from varied tasks, then this is the job for you.

Firsthand experience

You discover that materials that are needed to deliver a proper product are missing. What do you do?

In this situation, it is important to communicate effectively with different departments within the company. You contact Procurement, Engineering, and Planning to find out where things went wrong, for example in the parts list or in the drawing. This way, you work towards a solution.

You ensure that the product is delivered correctly and that the customer does not experience any inconvenience. You remain calm, involve different colleagues in the situation, and ensure clear communication.

Why did you decide to work for this company?
Previously, I worked at Boon Edam, where I collaborated with a few people from Blok System Supply. However, Blok is much closer to my home address and the work had a lot of overlap. I have now been working here for over 19 years and I still enjoy it every day. For the past few years, I have been managing my own production cell.

What appeals to me most is that you really see the whole picture here. Everything comes together, from the initial idea and engineering to prototyping and production. That suits me, because I find it important not only to design, but also to see how something is actually built. It is precisely that combination that makes us strong.
