- Visit regional plants to provide hands‑on support and validate performance improvements.
- Act as the regional point of contact for electrical maintenance excellence.
Your Profile
- 5+ years hands‑on experience in electrical maintenance within Food & Beverage, Chemicals, Mining, or Oil & Gas industries.

- Fluent German (mandatory), with good communication skills across multicultural environments.
- Comfortable working 5 days/week on-site in Hamburg, with regular travel across Europe.
- Strong problem-solving mindset, able to diagnose and resolve electrical issues quickly.

- Familiarity with European electrical standards and safe working practices.
What We Offer
- A key regional role with high visibility across European sites.
- A stable industrial environment with significant opportunities for professional growth.
