Job Description

At DEKRA, we test products before they are approved for market entry. As a test engineer, you therefore work with the latest products. Our customer base is diverse, and so are the products we test.

As a Test Engineer for Explosion Safety, you mainly deal with products for industrial applications. These include explosion-proof inspection robots, cameras, pumps, flow meters, weighing systems, and more.

In this role, you start with general mechanical tests (temperature measurements, ageing, impact, and water and dust ingress). After that, you will be trained in tests that are specific to explosion safety. Samples are, for example, tested in pressure-resistant explosion chambers.

In the development from junior to senior test engineer, important milestones include planning the test program, working on more complex projects, expanding qualifications, and managing test systems and calibrations in the laboratory.

We believe it is important that you have a passion for performing tests and that you are enthusiastic about working with the latest products.

Responsibilities

• You independently carry out tests in the DEKRA laboratory; initially these are mechanical tests, followed by explosion tests;
• Performing assessments based on international standards;
• Preparing reports of test results;
• Regularly consulting with the project manager;
• You are solution-oriented;
• You enjoy contributing ideas on how to work more efficiently in order to serve our customers even better.
• You have an MBO or HBO level of thinking and working;
• You have completed a degree in Mechanical Engineering or a comparable technical education;
• Affinity with electrical engineering is an advantage;
• You can easily switch between various projects;
• You have strong communication skills;
• You work safely, neatly, and in a structured manner;
• You have a good command of the Dutch language. Given the international nature of our customers, you also have a good command of the English language; knowledge of German is an advantage.
• If you have knowledge of the international standards IEC 60079-0, 60079-1, and 60079-31, you will have a preferred position.
• An attractive salary and excellent employment benefits;
• A variable profit-sharing scheme;
• Plenty of time to relax with 25 vacation days and 13 ADV days;
• Reimbursement for travel expenses and working from home;
• Discounts on various insurance policies;
• Ample opportunities for career growth and a wide range of training courses so you can continue to develop yourself;
• A challenging position within a great team of independent experts in a dynamic and international environment.
