Professionals sought within the water sector

Would you like to work on water technology that doesn’t just remain on paper, but is actually built and tested?

As R&D Engineer You will be responsible for the technical preparation, set-up, execution and evaluation of development and testing activities. You will analyse results, investigate anomalies and faults, and implement improvements. For this role, we are looking for someone with strong analytical skills who also enjoys working hands-on with technology.

You will supervise and carry out pilot projects on-site at clients’ premises. During these pilot projects, you will assess the technical performance, reliability and practical applicability of new technology. Based on your findings, the solutions will be further optimised and prepared technically for commercialisation.

Where will you be working?

You will be based in Sneek. Based at the Technology Centre, you will work on projects for both Desah and Noardling. You will also regularly visit client sites and research and pilot sites. When carrying out trials, you will work meticulously and in accordance with the applicable safety, environmental and quality regulations.

Your profile

A level of working and thinking equivalent to a higher professional education (HBO) or university (WO) qualification, preferably in water technology, environmental engineering, chemical engineering, process engineering or a similar field.
Knowledge of, or a clear interest in, water treatment, environmental technology and technical product development.
You can evaluate technical information, approach research in a structured manner and translate research findings into practical next steps.
You work independently, take responsibility for your projects and liaise easily with colleagues from other disciplines.
You communicate your findings clearly to others and have a good command of spoken and written English.
Experience in wastewater treatment, anaerobic processes, membrane technology or conducting pilot studies would be an advantage. The same applies to experience with research methods, project-based working or collaboration with research institutions. You don’t need to be a specialist in every area; we believe it’s important that you’re curious, ask questions and get to grips with new topics.

A full-time role of 40 hours per week.
27 days off and 13 ADV days per year.
Terms and conditions of employment in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for the Metal and Electrical Engineering Sector.
Varied work in which research, design, testing and practical application are closely interlinked.
The freedom to develop your own ideas, build prototypes and pilot schemes, and test the results in practice.
Collaboration with colleagues from various disciplines, clients and research institutions.
