Junior Event Coordinator vacancy in Helmond at AAE. Organize our company parties, customer days and anniversary events.

Will you be the brain behind our anniversary year filled with events, celebration and connection?

Next year, AAE turns 50, and we’re going to celebrate. Big. Together. And often. That won’t organize itself, which is why we need you. As Junior Event Coordinator, you’ll be the driving force behind events that boost the happiness at work of over 550 colleagues. And even after the anniversary year, there’s plenty to do: from inspiring customer days to epic company parties, from trade fairs to our well-known Infinity Table sessions, you make it all happen. Or better said: you make sure everything is right, down to the last detail.

This is a part-time role (20 hours per week), easy to combine with other ambitions, your private life or a study.

Pushing technical boundaries

AAE is a high-tech family company in Helmond with a clear mission: to make the world a little better every day. We do this with pioneering technological solutions and a strong culture where happiness at work is central. Our machines produce over 350 million products each year, and our modules power some of the most advanced high-tech machinery worldwide. Equally important: we’re building a great workplace for everyone.

At AAE you’ll find exceptional variety in projects, customers and technologies, from medical applications to automotive, from semiconductors to consumer goods.

What will your role be?

Do you enjoy turning “organized chaos” into a flawless run-of-show? Love a tight script and a can-do attitude? Then we’ve got a party for you, literally. In this role, you are the beating heart of everything events. You ensure it all fits: from creative concept to practical execution.

Your to-do list

• Lead our 2026 anniversary year: 50 years of AAE means a year full of unforgettable events.
• Organize internal events. From AAE Draait Door and International Women’s Day to the Infinity Table.
• Support and/or organise customer days and trade fairs.
• Create runbooks, arrange venues, suppliers and catering.
• Coordinate communications, invitations and aftermovies.
• Deliver a memorable experience, every single time.

You won’t do it alone

You’ll join our Marketing & Communications team of five driven (and fun) colleagues. Teamwork first: we start the week together, tackle challenges together and celebrate successes together. What makes us unique? We don’t just work with each other, we work for each other. And you’ll feel it.

Good to know: many colleagues at AAE get involved in events. For each event we form a team of enthusiastic AAE volunteers and, where needed, collaborate with a professional external agency. We also have an active staff association (PV) and a vitality program Expeditie Fit, which organize all kinds of sporting and social activities on their own initiative.

“The best part of organising events at AAE? People come first, and months later, they’re still talking about it. That’s real impact.” — Elly van de Beek, Management Assistant and frequent co-organizer of internal events

Being part of something great

At AAE we believe happiness at work is just as important as innovation. Together we build a culture where everyone can be themselves. Behind every high-tech solution stands a person with ambition, courage and joy. And we celebrate that—with legendary staff parties, surprising pub quizzes, Friday-afternoon drinks and challenges like climbing the Passo dello Stelvio. Fun fact: even retired colleagues still get invited to our BBQs. Once family, always family.

You’ve got what it takes

You’re creative, enthusiastic and not afraid to take the lead. Deadlines give you energy. Lists? That’s your middle name. You love people, organising and happy faces. You take initiative, think in solutions and know how to make events not only planned, but come alive.

You will bring:

• A completed MBO or HBO degree in Event Management, Communications or Hospitality (or similar).
• Event experience is a big plus (internships count!).
• A proactive, energetic and independent work style.
• Organisational talent with an eye for detail.
• The ability to bring structure to chaos.
• Affinity with a dynamic, high-tech family company.
• And, of course, you match our values: Ambitious, Can-do, Human & Together.

How we take care of you

We value your happiness at work. You’ll see this in our many training and growth opportunities and our extensive vitality program supporting physical and mental health. AAE was recognised as a World Class Workplace 2023–2024, an employer label you only earn when your employees rate you highly.

This role is part-time (20 hours/week); we’ll decide together how to schedule your working days.

What we offer (based on a 40-hour work week)

• Gross monthly salary €2,900–€4,500, depending on knowledge and experience.
• Annual profit sharing.
• 40 vacation days—so you can throw some parties of your own ?
