A job with endless variation and growth opportunities.
A career in maintenance
One minute you’ll find yourself doing routine and preventive inspections, the next you’ll be jumping into a pick-up and rushing off to make an emergency repair. Every day is different at Yara Sluiskil. The Maintenance team is responsible for keeping every part of the factory running smoothly, from the smallest components to gigantic installations.
As a member of the team, you’ll work on installations in the central workshop or in the plant, where your safety is our priority. You’ll also drive around in a pick-up to solve malfunctions and collect parts, so you’ll have plenty of independence. You learn in the field while you work, and because our production location in Sluiskil is so big, that field is very diverse; from various chemical factories to the loading department, where large ships are loaded and unloaded.
All in all, a varied job in which you’re able to advance rapidly. That’s because if you distinguish yourself with commitment and ambition, your career will flourish. You could be promoted to a Senior Maintenance Technician, Planner or Maintenance Coordinator, for example.
“If we do our jobs well in the Maintenance department, it’s reflected in the quality of the products. That highlights the impact of our work."

Head Local Maintenance
