Software engineer

Full-time

32-40 Hours per week

Associate's degree / Bachelor's degree

Who are we looking for?

You are a PLC / Software Engineer who:

• A degree in mechatronics, industrial automation or similar
• Preferably experience in mechanical engineering or industrial automation
• Proficient in PLC programming (Ladder and ST) in an OMRON and DANFOSS+1 environment
• Affinity with motion control and moving machines
• Willing to take responsibility and contribute ideas

Experience is important, but we consider curiosity, technical insight and ambition to be just as valuable. We also welcome applications from young engineers with potential.

What are you going to do?

At Koppert Machines, you will be working on smart and innovative machines for horticulture. Examples include:

• Automating processes in horticulture (including glasshouse horticulture)
• Programming packaging machines
• Developing complete logistics systems
• Applying robotics (such as ABB's flexpicker)
• Bringing new machine concepts to market

You will be involved in projects from start to finish - from idea to operational machine. One day you will be doing electrical work preparation and continuing with the PLC programme and the HMI, the next day you will be testing a machine, performing a FAT or, together with colleagues, delivering a machine with working software to the customer. You will work closely with the electrical, service and drawing office departments.

Every machine is custom-made. This makes the work technically challenging, varied and visible.

Why work at Koppert Machines?

At Koppert Machines, you will work in a close-knit team on smart, practical solutions for horticulture. No cumbersome structures, but a flat organisation with short lines of communication. You will work closely with colleagues from engineering, service and production, and have influence on important technical decisions.

What makes the work special?

According to our team: "The best moment? When you switch on a machine and it runs perfectly straight away."

• No two days are the same
• You see immediate results from your work
• You work together with customers towards a single goal
• Good ideas are given space and tested in practice

• You contribute to machines that make a difference for growers and packers worldwide. As a PLC engineer at Koppert Machines, you are also in contact with customers. Growers and packers know who you are and appreciate the personal way of working together. That is very satisfying.

What we offer

• Excellent working conditions
• Challenging and varied work
• Room for development and innovation
• Permanent contract if you perform well
• Modern workplace and facilities
• A committed team and enjoyable activities
