Become the crucial link between reducing industrial emissions and large manufacturers
With your hands-on mindset, engineering background and client focus, you bring service, performance improvement and smart advice together at industrial sites across the Netherlands and Europe. You like being on the road, but you also value preparation and teamwork from our Delft home base.
You will work on JOA installations such as Dust Collection Systems, Wet Scrubbers, Vapor Extraction Systems and Heat Recovery solutions (Heat Pumps / Heat Exchangers). On site you combine practical work with measurements and technical insight, and you translate what you see into clear reporting and improvement proposals that add value for the client.
OUR CULTURE
JOA designs and delivers sustainable Emission Control and Heat Recovery solutions for leading industrial manufacturers (e.g. Nestlé, FrieslandCampina, Cargill, KraftHeinz, J&J, DSMFirmenich and many more). We are a specialist engineering and project organisation with patented technology and a strong team culture.
We love solving complex challenges and turning technical performance into measurable impact for our clients. We innovate Air and Energy, that is what JOA is all about.
René Bosscher — Consultant Engineer
YOUR ROLE
This role is a combination of planned service visits, measurements & troubleshooting, and reporting/consulting:
- ~40% Service & Maintenance
- Performance checks, tuning, maintenance tasks
- Ensuring systems run safely and effectively
- ~40% Measurements & troubleshooting
- On-site measurements such as airflow, pressure, temperature, humidity (RH), particles, emissions/VOC
- Root-cause thinking: what is happening, why, and what can be improved
- ~20% Reporting & consulting
- Service reporting and debriefing with the client
- Identifying improvement opportunities (upgrades/optimisations) and advising on next steps
- Depending on the situation: proposing improvements directly, or handing over to Sales / Consultant Engineers / Project Managers
Travel: typically 25–35%, project-driven. Focus is on NL / Belgium / DACH, with secondary travel across Europe. Worldwide clients exist, so occasional longer trips may occur (always in consultation).
Home base: Delft. Office days matter for alignment, learning and teamwork.
What success looks like
- Clients trust you on-site and feel supported
- Systems perform better after your visit, and issues are solved structurally (not temporarily)
- You identify realistic improvement opportunities and communicate them clearly
- You can grow into more responsibility over time (e.g., deeper consulting scope and contributing to PreEngineering Reports)
What we’re looking for
- 0–5 years of experience (no junior label, but we’re explicitly open to early-career engineers)
- HBO / BSc level (vocational education + strong relevant experience can be considered, but the role level is bachelor due to complicated systems, travel + client communication)
- Background in Mechanical Engineering (ideal) or Chemical / Process / Industrial Engineering; Electrical/Instrumentation affinity is a plus
- Comfortable working on large industrial sites and communicating with operators, maintenance, EHS and engineering stakeholders
- Driver’s license required
- Language: English fluent, Dutch highly preferred (basic Dutch already)
- EU work authorisation required
OUR OFFER
- Competitive salary (negotiable based on experience)
- Pension plan, bonus, telephone, fitness contribution, travel compensation, weekly bootcamp at the office
- Flexibility in working hours and planning (with professional ownership and responsibility)
- Strong learning curve with coaching/training from Project Managers and Consultant Engineers, with growing responsibility over time
- Supportive, high-performance team culture in an employee-owned company (we share success)
