Install, calibrate, and maintain electrical and instrumentation systems for leading companies in the Dutch process, food, energy, and manufacturing industries. As an E&I Technician, you’ll ensure installations operate safely, accurately, and efficiently.

About
the role

What are we looking for

In process and production environments, measurement and control determine whether a plant runs safely, cleanly, and efficiently. As an E&I Technician, you install, calibrate, and maintain electrical and instrumentation systems at one of our client companies in the Dutch process, food, energy, or manufacturing industry. You work from P&IDs and loop diagrams on live installations, where accuracy and safety always come first.

In this role, you cover both the electrical and instrumentation side of industrial installations. You install and connect field equipment, calibrate measurement loops, troubleshoot signal issues, and work closely with operators, maintenance colleagues, and process engineers.

  • Install and commission E&I equipment.
  • Calibrate instruments and measurement loops.
  • Perform loop checks and functional tests.
  • Troubleshoot electrical and instrumentation systems.
  • Read P&IDs, loop diagrams, and schematics.
  • Follow safety standards and procedures.

  • Electrical or instrumentation background.
  • Able to read electrical schematics.
  • Familiar with P&IDs and loop diagrams.

Motus connects technical professionals and organisations in an honest, involved, and results-driven way. We stand beside people and companies as a partner, from the first conversation and careful listening to getting things done and achieving real results.

For people who are ready to take the next step, and for companies building their future with the right talent.
