We’re hiring: Technical & Maintenance Specialist
Join Europe’s leading industrial paint shop that coats components for satellites, offshore rigs and mission-critical machinery.
Trusted for the hardest coating challenges where other paint shops can’t deliver.
Bridge engineering and production to keep machines, processes, safety and quality running flawlessly.
Work with our CTO and Production Lead, earn a competitive salary + bonus, and grow towards Technical Director.
The application process closes on 11th November. Candidates are assessed on a daily basis.
About De Bruyn
De Bruyn is the paint shop companies call when the project is too complicated, too critical, or simply too important to mess up.
We coat parts that have to survive real stress - salt water on offshore platforms, heat and vibration in machines, and the brutal conditions satellites face. If the coating fails, the part fails, so we make sure it doesn’t.
The paint is the easy part - the hard work happens before anything gets sprayed.
Cleaning, blasting, masking, handling, checking. The small, invisible choices that decide whether a part survives years of salt water or burns up in orbit.
The application process closes on 11th November. Candidates are assessed on a daily basis.

Built for the toughest coating challenges
Specs can look fine on paper, but the surface prep, the material, the layer build-up and the environment have to match reality.
When a part arrives with unclear instructions, bad prep, or a failed coating from another shop, we break it down, look at how it will be used, and figure out what it actually needs to hold up.
Built for Hard Jobs
Because we get those unseen steps right, the tough jobs end up with us.
Not because we’re the biggest shop, but because we know how the steel behaves, how the paint reacts, and what actually makes a coating hold up outside the lab.
The application process closes on 11th November. Candidates are assessed on a daily basis.
Why People Stay
People stay at De Bruyn because the work has weight.
Some of our people have been here longer than the equipment they maintain, and that tells you enough.
Your Role: Technical, Maintenance & Quality Specialist
You’re the link between engineering, production and quality - keeping machines running, processes stable and the coating system correct from start to finish.
The application process closes on 11th November. Candidates are assessed on a daily basis.
your day to day
Most days you’ll move between the shop floor and the technical office.
Our CTO will give you the technical requirements: which coating system is needed, what the specs demand, and what risks to watch.
Your job is to connect both sides and make the process run smoothly.
You’ll set up and follow maintenance plans, solve breakdowns, organise repairs and keep machines and coating lines reliable.
You’ll bring order to the warehouse - parts, paints, PPE, consumables - and make sure stock, traceability and purchasing run on a clean, usable system.
Quality checks are also part of your day.
You’ll inspect parts on the floor, read the specs, create PPAP files and record what happened and why - catching issues before they move further in the process.
And when a manual or spec sheet doesn’t match what’s actually happening, you’re the one who spots the gap and corrects it, so production keeps moving.
Safety and prevention follow the same logic: making sure lifting gear, PPE and fire equipment are in place, compliant and ready when they’re needed.
The application process closes on 11th November. Candidates are assessed on a daily basis.
Our Production Lead will show you what’s happening in reality: where a machine slips out of spec, where prep isn’t consistent, where the line slows because something upstream isn’t right.
Your Growth Path
As your skill grows, so does your responsibility - from technical decisions to how the shop runs.
Year 3
Technical, Maintenance & Quality Specialist
You’ve built structure into the basics: a working maintenance plan, a clean warehouse system, clear technical documentation, and a quality process that runs without chaos. You’re the reliable link between engineering and production, and the shop feels it.
year 5
Technical Operations Manager
You lead improvement projects, help choose new equipment and systems, and have a deep knowledge of how De Bruyn operates.

Structured and precise

What our team says about De Bruyn
Operations Centre
You’ll work in a clean, well-organised 3,600 m² production hall with dust kept away from the paint lines so the paint stays clean.
There’s a test lab next door for checking roughness, thickness, gloss and adhesion where you will validate the best next step for coating.
You’ll work across multiple spray booths, a dip line and robot lines, handling everything from small parts to 12-metre pieces.
Some customers even have their own dedicated zones in our hall, giving you hands-on work with specialised processes most shops never see.
The whole place runs on modern extraction and solar power, making it cleaner, safer and easier to work in than most production floors.
