Car Mechanic Ford in Rotterdam

Work in Rotterdam on Ford passenger cars and commercial vehicles, with modern testing equipment and training at the importer.

What you’ll be doing

It is half past seven and there are already three Transits on the lot that need to be back on the road today. You take the first one, connect the testing equipment and get to work. Later in the day a Ford Kuga comes in for maintenance. In Rotterdam you work with 18 colleagues.

• You carry out maintenance, repairs and modifications on Ford passenger cars and commercial vehicles, and no two days are the same
• Today you change the fluid in an automatic transmission, tomorrow you replace a cylinder head or get a car ready for the showroom
• With modern testing equipment you make the diagnosis yourself, and with a tricky fault the diagnostic technician looks at it with you
• As a senior car mechanic you take on the more complex repairs and help colleagues grow, with technical specialist as the next step
• You also carry out APK inspections, and if you are not yet certified, you get it through the employer

What we’re looking for

• An MBO level 2 diploma in automotive technology is the minimum. MBO level 3 is a plus, and then you start as a senior car mechanic
• You have a driving licence
• You speak good Dutch or English, because agreements about safety in the workshop need to be clear
• You have an eye for detail and keep searching until you have found the cause of a fault
• You enjoy working on your own and in a team
• You are also welcome if you have just finished your MBO level 2 or still need to do the APK training

What you get

• Salary between €2,800 and €4,000 gross per month, depending on your experience
• 38 hours per week, or 32 or 36 hours if that fits your life better
• You develop through training at brand importers and technical schools that match your role
• 24 days of holiday when working full time, topped up with 64 extra hours of leave you can buy every year
• Lower costs for your own car thanks to discounts on buying, servicing and insurance, and €15 per month off your gym membership
• Collective health insurance, a good pension plan and an employer who works with you on schedules and working hours
