At Trinamics, you’ll find engineering vacancies spanning a range of sectors, from mechanical engineering and high-tech to industry and energy. You’ll work on products, systems and technical projects that need to function, perform and keep running.
You can get involved in designing, developing, programming, testing or managing projects. We provide roles that match your specialism, with attractive terms and conditions and work with clients throughout the Netherlands – particularly in Rotterdam, Breda, Eindhoven and Nijmegen.

An engineer works on designing, developing and improving technical systems, machines or processes. Depending on your specialisation, the focus is on mechanics, electrical engineering, software or technical implementations.
These are common tasks carried out by an engineer:
designing systems, installations or components
producing technical drawings or diagrams
developing and programming software or control systems
testing and improving systems
analysing technical problems and devising solutions
collaborating with technicians, project managers and other engineers
Some engineers focus primarily on design and development, whilst others are involved in implementation, testing or optimisation in practice.
There are various types of engineers. The main differences lie in the type of engineering and the stage of the process you work on. As an engineer, you can work in various sectors:
Mechanical engineering
High-tech
Industry
Energy
Manufacturing environments
Automation and digitalisation
You might work on new products, improve existing systems or optimise technical processes.
You work on mechanical designs and constructions. You’re involved in product development, machine construction and technical calculations.
You focus on electrical engineering and hardware. You design installations, work on schematics and ensure that systems function correctly from an electrical perspective.
You develop software and control systems for machines and installations. You ensure that systems operate logically and that processes run automatically.
You work at the interface between engineering and implementation. You oversee projects, make adjustments where necessary and ensure that systems operate as intended.
Working close to home is important for engineers too. That’s why we look for roles in your region. In many cases, you’ll be working within a 30- to 45-minute commute.
We have plenty of engineering vacancies in:
Breda and the surrounding area
Eindhoven and the surrounding area
Rotterdam
Utrecht

An engineer and a technician work together on technical projects, but have different roles.
The main difference:
An engineer designs and develops systems
A technician builds and maintains these systems
In addition:
Engineer → calculations, design and optimisation
Technician → implementation and installation
Engineer → often office-based and project-oriented
Technician → workshop or site
Do you enjoy working on technical solutions and designs? Then an engineering role is a better fit. If you prefer hands-on work, then a technician role is a better fit.
Wondering how much you’d earn as an engineer? Your salary depends on your specialism, experience and the type of sector.
Here are the average guidelines:
Junior: €2,800 to €3,500
Mid-level: €3,500 to €5,000
Senior: €5,000 to €6,500 or more
If you work in high-tech, complex mechanical engineering or specialist automation, the salary is often higher. Responsibilities and international assignments can also affect your salary.
What your work involves depends on your role and specialism. However, there are clear similarities between many engineering roles.
A typical working day as an engineer often involves:
working on design, software or technical solutions
consulting with fellow engineers, project leaders and clients
testing and improving systems
coordinating with operational teams, such as technicians or production staff
documenting designs, changes and results
If your work is more R&D-oriented, the focus will be on development and innovation. If your work is more project- or service-oriented, you’ll be more frequently involved in implementation and practical applications.
As an engineer, you’ll work on technical projects that are challenging in nature and have an impact on production, systems and processes.
Mechanical engineering and product development
designing machines and plant
developing new products
improving existing designs
collaborating with production and assembly teams
High-tech and automation
working with advanced systems
developing control systems and software
automating processes
high standards of accuracy and quality
Industry and energy
optimising production processes
improving installations and systems
analysing and resolving technical problems
working to improve reliability and efficiency
At Trinamics, it’s all about finding the right match. We look at your experience, but also at the type of work and environment in which you perform best.
That’s why engineers choose Trinamics:
roles with technical clients
meaningful work using modern technology
a good salary and clear terms and conditions
the possibility of a permanent contract after 1 year
the opportunity to progress to a specialist, lead or project role
training and certifications
personal guidance from a dedicated consultant
You know exactly where you stand and work at a level that matches your ambitions.
“Through Trinamics, I’m now working with high-tech systems and technology that I wouldn’t have come across on my own.” – Engineer, Eindhoven region
We’ve been connecting engineers with companies in engineering and industry for 20 years. Ready for the next step? Take a look at our vacancies.
That depends on the role and your preferences. You can work for a client through Trinamics or join the company as a permanent employee after a year. We’ll discuss together what suits you best.
That varies depending on the role and sector. Examples include mechanical engineering, automation, high-tech systems or industrial projects. We look for roles that match your experience.
Yes. You can progress to become a specialist, lead engineer or take on a project role. There are also opportunities to develop your skills further through training and certification.
That depends on your role. Many engineers work partly in the office and partly on site. In project or service roles, you’ll tend to be on site more often.
That depends on how flexible you are! In many cases, you can start straight away, depending on your availability and the role.
For most engineering roles, you’ll need a higher national education (HBO) or university (WO) qualification in a technical field, such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics or software engineering.
For junior roles, you can join us once you have completed your studies. If you already have practical experience gained through work placements or projects, this will improve your chances.
No. Depending on your role, you’ll also work alongside production staff, technicians or customers. In some roles, you’ll regularly be on site.
