At Picnic we have a fleet of 1800 vehicles (EPV’s as we call them) bring groceries to 45.000 families each day. As a Mechanic at Picnic you have a direct impact on making sure this is possible. We are the supermarket on wheels and you make sure it stays that way!
Our vehicles are electric, but our mechanics are very practical! We don’t use a laptop to find the issue; we identify it ourselves. Unlike many modern vehicles, our vehicle still requires real hands-on work. Our EPVs are practical delivery vehicles that are used intensively every day, which means craftsmanship, mechanical knowledge and problem-solving are still big parts of the job.
You’ll be working on the Goupil G4 and G6: compact delivery vehicles that may look small, but work tirelessly every day to get groceries to our customers. These are vehicles with character, and our experienced mechanics ensure they are up and running each day.
Problem solving: Troubleshooting issues with our vehicles and fixing them yourself.
Independence: Drive your own route everyday and set up shop at our hubs from your mobile service van.
Collaboration: Collaborate with teams across the Netherlands to ensure our vehicles are ready to deliver groceries to our customers.
Ownership: You’ll carry out maintenance and repairs on site, repair cargo boxes where necessary, perform your own final checks, and keep your paperwork in order.

At Picnic, we’re revolutionizing the way people buy groceries. Our affordable and sustainable service is made possible by our passionate people, cutting-edge technology, efficient planning, and, of course, our fleet of iconic electric vehicles! It’s why our customer base is growing rapidly across the Netherlands, Germany, and France.
One of the things that makes Picnic different is that we handle almost everything in-house: forecasting, developing our first automated warehouse and new electric Picnic vehicles, internal and customer-facing applications—the list goes on. It gives us more freedom when it comes to trying out new and innovative ideas, which is something we do a lot!
We love to challenge ourselves and learn new things. Our teams have access to various meetups, language classes, ‘Lunch & Learn’ sessions, our very own Tech Academy, and tailored soft-skills training. Professional development is as important to us as the service we provide to our customers.
As a diverse team made up of over 80 nationalities, there are always plenty of activities to get involved with, whether you’re into sports, board games, charitable causes, dancing (at our legendary Picnic festival), or licorice tasting—yes, even that!
Our scale-up culture means you get to own your role and bring fresh ideas to the table. So, if you’re looking for an opportunity to make a real difference, get in touch—we’d love to hear from you.
