Senior Mechanical Engineer
Are you an experienced engineer who can design complex machines independently? At Romonta BV in Katwijk you get the chance to put your full expertise to work on challenging custom projects for the food processing industry. No two days are the same, and your technical knowledge makes the difference.
Your impact at Romonta
As a Senior Mechanical Engineer you are the technical backbone of our engineering team. You work independently on complex projects, from the first customer meeting to delivery on the shop floor. You design innovative stainless steel solutions for conveyor belts, platforms, pump and bulk handling systems, always with an eye for machine safety, CE directives and hygienic design principles.
You are also a sparring partner for fellow engineers and coach junior team members where needed. You work closely with production, assembly and sales to make sure your designs are not only technically sound, but also practical to build and cost-efficient.
At Romonta you have room to develop in the direction that suits you. Want to dive into complex designs and become the go-to technical expert? Then the step to design engineer is for you. Would you rather manage projects from A to Z, including customer contact and planning? Then you can grow into a project engineer. Or do you get energy from coaching people and making technical decisions for the team? Then lead engineer is a logical next step. Whichever direction you choose, you will get the opportunity here.
Your main responsibilities
- You independently design complex machines and systems in Inventor, from first sketch to production drawing;
- You turn customer requests into smart, functional stainless steel solutions for the food processing industry;
- You safeguard the quality, feasibility and manufacturability of designs and proactively liaise with production and assembly;
- You carry out technical calculations and make sure designs comply with CE directives and hygienic design principles;
- You optimise existing designs and actively contribute to process improvement and standardisation;
- You coach junior engineers, review their work and share your knowledge and experience with the team;
- Where needed, you are in direct contact with customers to discuss technical specifications and align solutions.
Who you are
You are an experienced engineer who combines technical depth with practical insight. You think in systems, spot structural details others miss and know exactly what can and cannot be built. You enjoy working independently on complex issues, and you readily share your knowledge with colleagues. You look beyond standard solutions and know how to make innovative concepts work in practice.
- Vocational or bachelor’s level in a technical field, preferably Mechanical Engineering or a related programme;
- At least five years of relevant experience as a mechanical engineer, design engineer or draughtsman in machine building or industrial engineering;
- Strong command of Inventor or a comparable 3D CAD package. You do not just draw, you think in assemblies and production;
- You switch easily between engineers, project managers, production and customers. You are a connector who translates engineering into practice;
- Knowledge of the food processing industry, stainless steel structures and hygienic design (EHEDG) is a strong plus.
What we offer
- A monthly salary between €4,000 and €6,000 (excluding 8% holiday allowance) based on 38 hours per week, depending on your experience;
- The option of a company car with fuel card;
- Flexible working hours by arrangement;
- A one-year contract with the prospect of a permanent position;
- 200 holiday hours based on a 38-hour working week under the Collective Labour Agreement for Metal and Engineering;
- 8% holiday allowance and pension accrual;
- Travel allowance depending on your commuting distance;
- Opportunities to develop yourself through courses and training;
- Big discounts on leading brands through our ‘benefitsatwork’ platform.
How to apply
Email your contact details to emiel.beek@romonta.nl. If you can attach your CV straight away, that is a plus. I will contact you within one working day to discuss the options and, if there is a match, to schedule a meeting.
You are welcome, even if you are not yet sure you are a perfect fit. We will explore it together.
