Both. You tinker a lot, but you also record breakdowns, maintenance and parts. That info keeps the machinery reliable.
As a Mechanic you will build installations, keep them in top condition and solve malfunctions. From mechanical to electrical and service: you ensure that everything keeps running. You often choose a specialism and grow within it step by step.
You work on machines and installations: assembling, maintaining, finding and fixing malfunctions. You read schematics, replace parts, adjust and test. Sometimes you rebuild for a new functionality or product variant. You work independently, but easily interact with colleagues and suppliers.
Typical tasks:
Schedule and perform maintenance and inspections
Analyze malfunctions, eliminate cause and test
Convert and tune installations for new runs
Replacing parts and updating documentation
Working safely and suggesting improvements
These are the qualities that make you excel in this role:
You start with the planning and safety check. Then you pick up work orders: a maintenance job, an acute malfunction, a conversion for afternoon production. In between, you order parts, record findings, and briefly consult with production or supplier. At the end: everything is running, breakdowns have been phased out, and the line is ready for the next shift.
You can enter through MBO engineering or a BBL route. During your career you specialize in direction(s) such as mechanical, electrical, service, car, (company) car, breakdown or assembly. You can advance to all-round mechanic, technician or (lead) service mechanic.
Examples of training:
Mechanic Service & Maintenance Installation Technology (mbo)
All-round Mechanic / Mobile Equipment Mechanic (mbo)
Mechatronics / Mechanical / Electrical Engineering (mbo)
Continuation: technician (mbo-4) or college transfer
As a starter (21+) you will earn an average of €2,500 - €2,900 gross per month (approx. €14.40 - €18.00 per hour), depending on specialty and sector. With experience, breakdown services and consignation, this often grows towards €3,100 - €3,600+.
A mbo diploma in mechatronics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or (service) maintenance fits perfectly. Through BBL you work and learn at the same time. In addition, VCA, NEN knowledge and manufacturer training are valuable.
Mostly full-time (36-40 hours per week). For service or breakdown shifts, you can make extra hours according to allowance schedule.
Depending on the company: day shift, 2/3 shifts or breakdown/consignment shifts. Irregularity usually results in surcharges.

The best agency! They found great work for me and they did it super fast. If there was a problem, it was solved the same day. We always had good contact. I can recommend them without hesitation👌.
Fancy solving problems before they become problems? Put on your work boots - you'll keep the Netherlands running.
Not necessarily. Many mechanics start broader and then choose a direction (e.g., electrical or service). Employers often help with training and certifications.+
Both. You tinker a lot, but you also record breakdowns, maintenance and parts. That info keeps the machinery reliable.
You stand and lift regularly, but work with tools. Safety, lifting technique and a tidy work area make it doable.
VCA, NEN-3140/1010-basis, hydraulics/pneumatics, manufacturer training and possibly driving licenses (in case of service) will give you an edge.
All-round/technician, breakdown engineer, field service technician, work planner, team leader or direction engineering (with additional training).
