About the role

Region: North Holland, South Holland, North Brabant, Utrecht, Gelderland, Flevoland

As a DCS / Safety Control Engineer, you’ll work on challenging projects across a range of sectors – from oil & gas to food and sustainable energy. Every challenge offers an opportunity to learn and the experience you gain can be applied with other clients. You’ll never work in isolation: although you’re assigned to a client, you remain part of POWARE’s close-knit team. Equally important, at POWARE there is genuine attention to you and your ambitions.

What you get

To start, we offer you a lot of flexibility in employment terms. You can choose a ‘standard’ employment contract or a bonus contract. In both cases, you’ll earn an above-average salary. You’ll also receive:

  • A permanent employment contract from day one.
  • 30 days of annual leave and a day off every five years on Liberation Day.
  • A solid collective pension scheme.
  • A company car or a generous travel allowance – your choice.
  • Everything you need to do your job well: from a quality office chair to extra monitors and a smartphone.
  • The opportunity to take training or courses whenever you wish.
  • Always a say in your next assignment – something that truly suits you.

What will you do?

As a DCS / Safety Control Engineer, you’ll take on challenging projects for leading clients. You’ll ensure that systems perform well: safely, reliably and future-proof. Specifically, this means you will:

  • Design, modernise and implement DCS and/or Safety Systems (SIS).
  • Translate client requirements into practical control solutions.
  • Advise on improvements and implement them yourself.
  • Test and commission systems to ensure flawless operation.
  • Train users to get the most out of the systems.

Interested in growing into a lead engineer role? We’ll help you take that step.

What we ask of you

You’re an experienced engineer who thrives in complex environments. You also bring:

  • A technical bachelor’s or master’s degree at higher vocational or university level.
  • Experience with at least two DCS and/or Safety Systems, for example ABB, Allen-Bradley, Emerson, Foxboro, Hima, Honeywell, Siemens or Yokogawa.
  • Preferably a TÜV Functional Safety Engineer certificate.
  • Strong communication skills in both Dutch and English.
  • A proactive mindset – you take initiative and think ahead.

Hiring process

At POWARE, applying always starts with a good conversation. We want to know who you are, what you can do and most of all: what you want. To support this, we use our own developed scan to gain insight into your ambitions and motivations. Sometimes a technical analysis follows: an in-depth discussion with a colleague to map your knowledge and experience.

If your profile matches one of our ongoing projects, you’ll be able to get started quickly. Otherwise, we’ll actively look for a suitable assignment – sometimes with existing clients, sometimes with new ones.

Interested? Apply today! You’ll hear back from us within three working days.
