Job offers
An internship where you develop from Drawing-Designer to Senior Designer or Lead-Engineer at lightning speed. Where you follow exciting educations and courses. And how friendly, professional colleagues are ready for you. It’s all waiting for you at Houdijk Holland in Vlaardingen. Your view? In two to three years, you will be trained to become a specialist in innovative, mechatronic (robot) systems for the biscuit industry.
Did you know that almost half of all cookies in the supermarket are packed by our machines? These advanced machines pack up to 20,000 biscuits per minute. During your internship, you will learn all the ins and outs of developing and calculating supply, dosing and sorting systems according to our customers’ wishes: the – often international – industrial bakers. The first four weeks are devoted to Houdijk Academy. You work with mechanics, follow crash courses in our business processes and you fully master the CAD package SolidWorks.
You will then be linked to an experienced civil engineer who will teach you the tricks of the trade. In the beginning, you work mainly on installations that are fixed in relation to technical operation; you customize them for the customer. The beauty of your job? You can see the end result in our assembly hall, where you can also exchange knowledge about designs with colleagues. And not to forget: you visit our customer for field surveys. You will gradually build up knowledge of engineering and the biscuit industry, and you will be given increasingly challenging tasks.
You discuss your growth and ambitions with the team leader, and you outline your personal development plan. Develop yourself into a senior engineer to create your own machine line and monitor its development. Or specialize as a senior Structural Engineer, where you will be involved in further refinement of installation (parts), which you completely perfect. In both specializations, you quickly become familiar with the entire Houdijk process: from ordering to design, testing and setup in the assembly hall. You can count on a lot of personal responsibility during the internship.
