What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a recruitment role where I can specialise in service engineering and electromechanical hiring, use market insight to solve talent shortages, and partner with industrial/manufacturing teams to improve business continuity and growth.

I specialise in partnering with industrial and manufacturing organisations across the Benelux region to secure highly skilled technical talent. I focus on Service Engineers, Mechatronic Technicians, Production Technicians, and Maintenance professionals, with particular expertise in electrical and electromechanical disciplines.

With deep market understanding, I navigate talent shortages, competitive salary landscapes, and the demand for native Dutch-speaking professionals in complex technical environments. I work closely with start-ups and established global organisations to deliver tailored recruitment strategies that support business continuity, enhance efficiency, and drive sustainable growth—bringing both technical education in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and hands-on experience from customer service and technical operations roles.
