Test Lab Technician (124409001)

If you’re technically skilled, not afraid of physical work, and want to see up close how large industrial machines are tested, then we’re looking for you to join our test lab in Venlo.

You’ll work in the test lab of an international engineering company that develops machines and technology for the mining industry. Together with the Lab Engineer, you’ll conduct tests to investigate how different materials and processes behave. You’ll work with coarse materials such as earth and minerals, as well as large machines. This makes the work varied: one moment you’ll be preparing samples, the next you’ll be setting up equipment or reviewing test results.

For each test, you’ll follow a pre-established test plan. You’ll verify in advance that all materials, tools, and information are available and prepare the test and machinery. Afterward, you’ll collect and process the measurement data and report the results to the Lab Engineer or Process Engineer. You work safely and accurately and don’t mind getting dusty or dirty from time to time while on the job.

- Preparing and analyzing samples of, among other things, soils and minerals;
- Preparing, adjusting, and checking machines, tools, and testing equipment;
- Conducting various tests according to test plans and procedures, such as grinding and slurry tests;
- Collecting, verifying, and processing test data and reporting results;
- Ensuring that the correct materials, tools, and safety information are available for a test;
- Maintaining tools and contributing ideas for improvements in safety and efficiency.

You will primarily work day shifts. There may be times when you are temporarily assigned to work in two shifts if the schedule requires it. In that case, you will receive additional compensation.

This is initially a position through the end of 2026, with the possibility of extension depending on the project.
