The vacancy
Do you enjoy working with your hands and do you get energy from high-quality technology? As an In-house Assembly Technician at Van Driel, you will help build cranes, hatches, masts, and other custom solutions for luxury and superyachts in our workshop.
No installation is the same. Every project is specially designed for a yacht and demands craftsmanship, precision, and an eye for detail. Together with your colleagues, you will ensure that every installation is built to technical perfection and is ready for onboard assembly.
What are you going to do?
As an In-house Assembly Technician, you assemble and build our yacht equipment in the workshop. You assemble mechanical and hydraulic parts, install components such as cylinders, bearings, cables, and drives, and connect hydraulic and electrical components. You also adjust installations, test them, and verify that everything functions perfectly.
You work from technical drawings and parts lists and consult regularly with engineers, work preparation, and fellow technicians. Together, you ensure that every installation meets the high quality standards of Van Driel and the international superyacht industry.
Which products are you working on?
You will work on a wide variety of custom solutions for luxury and superyachts, including tender, knuckle boom, folding, and overhead cranes, hull and deck hatches, shell doors, telescoping navigation masts, tender poles, platforms, and movable deck structures. Additionally, you will develop specials such as movable pool floors, jacuzzi decks, and folding boat seats. In doing so, Van Driel combines engineering, customization, and a seamless integration with the yacht's design.
What are you bringing?
You have a higher professional education (hbo) in mechanical engineering or a similar field. A technical vocational education (mbo) with relevant engineering experience may also be suitable. You have experience with 3D-CAD, preferably Autodesk Inventor, and are able to independently set up technical drawings and assemblies. You have knowledge of structures, materials, and production methods, as well as an interest in mechanics, hydraulics, and moving systems.
You work practically and accurately, take production, assembly, and maintenance into account, and communicate easily with colleagues. You have a good command of Dutch and English. Experience in yacht building, mechanical engineering, offshore, or maritime technology is a plus.
Do you not have experience with yacht equipment yet, but do have a solid technical foundation? Then experienced colleagues will introduce you to our products and applications.
What do we offer you?
You will receive a gross monthly salary of €3,500 to €5,500 based on a 40-hour workweek, and you will work 32 to 40 hours per week. You will be given a lot of freedom and responsibility within diverse projects for international yacht builders. Thanks to direct contact with the workshop, you will see your designs actually come to life and can view the work onboard. You will work with professional software and will have plenty of room for training, development, and career growth. All of this within a down-to-earth organization with short communication lines and committed colleagues.
