Application Engineer, Power Management and Generators

At Caldic Techniek, we never stand still; we are constantly striving to improve ourselves. We aim to perform even better every day than we did the day before and work together to build long-term partnerships. To expand our team, we are looking for a driven application engineer—a role in which you can make a difference and collaborate to add real value for customers, suppliers, and colleagues alike.

Are you looking for a technical challenge with plenty of variety, freedom, and responsibility? And is power management second nature to you? Then Caldic Techniek is looking for you!

From assisting with product selection to ensuring quotes and orders include the correct technical information, you are always well-informed about our suppliers’ products and developments, as well as their potential applications. In addition, you will use your knowledge and experience to assist our customers with programming and commissioning the equipment. This work sometimes takes place on-site abroad.
The team you will be joining consists of 12 enthusiastic colleagues—11 men and 1 woman—who look forward to welcoming you and your technical expertise.
