Installation engineer: indispensable professional in residential, commercial and industrial construction

Are you technically minded, do you like working with your hands and do you want to contribute to sustainable and well-functioning installations? Then the position of installation engineer is for you. Every day at Euro Planit, we help installation engineers find challenging jobs at renowned installation companies, contractors and technical service providers in the region.

As an installation fitter, you work on installing, maintaining or modifying installations. Whether it involves gas, water, heating, ventilation or plumbing: you ensure that everything is installed safely, professionally and according to the standard.

What does an installation engineer do?

As an installation technician, you will be responsible for laying and assembling installations within homes, business premises or industrial environments. You work on new projects, but also on renovations or service jobs. You work independently or together with colleagues and follow technical drawings, schedules and work orders.

You have a varied job, where you regularly work on location and have a lot of customer contact. Accuracy, professional knowledge and a practical attitude are essential in this job.

Typical work of an installation technician:

Laying gas, water and central heating pipes

Installation of sanitary facilities
Installing and connecting ventilation or air-conditioning systems
Troubleshooting and maintenance work
Reading installation drawings and diagrams
Checking and testing installations
Working according to applicable safety regulations (such as NEN 3140 or NEN 1006)

You often work together with planners, supervisors and other technicians. In some positions you are specialised (e.g. mechanical fitter), in others you are all-round deployable.
