Do you enjoy working neatly and precisely? And would you like to work in an environment focused on quality, collaboration, and pride in what we create?
Then this Production Employee position at Key Technologies is perfect for you.
Pushing technical boundaries
Welcome to AAE! A high-tech family-owned company based in Helmond. Our mission is clear: to make the world a little better every day with our groundbreaking technology. Think of applications in the medical field, the semiconductor industry, automotive, and much more.
‘Key Technologies’ is the department where you may start your journey. Here, we develop and produce unique, critical components. These parts determine the performance, accuracy, and reliability of our machines. Within this department, we work with various advanced production techniques, such as milling, turning, sheet metal processing, welding, and measuring.
What will your role be?
You will carry out recurring processing operations with a full focus on quality. No rush jobs, but controlled precision. Wherever you are needed, in any step of the process, you contribute with enthusiasm. You easily switch between different tasks.
Your responsibilities at a glance:
Ultrasonic cleaning of high-tech components
Precisely assembling small products
Performing quality checks
Maintaining a clean and organized workspace
Flexibly supporting other tasks such as laser engraving or testing
What we do, we do well, and we do it together. You will join a close-knit team of 10 colleagues: the Cleaning and Micro Laser teams of Key Technologies. The atmosphere is open, everyone supports one another, and together you ensure that every product meets the quality our customers expect.
Being part of something great
Our secret? Our culture. At AAE, hard work goes hand in hand with fun and celebrating success together. Think Friday afternoon drinks, pub quizzes, sports activities, the summer BBQ, and our legendary staff parties. Once an AAE colleague, always an AAE colleague — that’s why we still regularly see our retired colleagues at company events.
You’ve got what it takes
We’re not looking for an expert, but for someone who is accurate, reliable, and enthusiastic. You understand that in our production process, precision is more important than speed, and you take the time to do your job right. A scratch, dent, or minor deviation? Not on your watch! You have a sharp eye for quality and ensure that every product is delivered perfectly.
What we ask from you:
You are a team player with a positive mindset. You enjoy working together and help colleagues when needed.
You work day shifts and are willing to work extra hours when necessary. Flexibility is in your DNA.
A technical MBO (vocational) degree is a plus, but not required. No experience in the metal industry yet? No problem. We’ll teach you the trade.
You match our unique company culture, defined by our core values: Ambitious, Can-do, Human, and Together.
How we take care of you
At AAE, your job satisfaction truly matters. You’ll see this reflected in our many training and career growth opportunities, as well as our extensive vitality program focused on both physical and mental well-being.
As a Production Employee (based on a 40-hour workweek), we offer you:
A gross monthly salary between €2,800 and €4,200
Salary growth in line with your performance
An annual profit-sharing bonus
40 vacation days
