Ampelmann is continuously developing new systems and technology. This leads to an increase in number as well as complexity of its Innovations Projects. We are now recruiting a Senior Motion Control Engineer to come and join us.
The department:
Anything is possible. That is what has driven our company from the start. The Ampelmann A- & E-types revolutionized offshore access. But this is not where our ambition stops. Innovation is one of the pillars of the company; at a high pace Ampelmann develops new offshore systems, i.e. a motion compensated crane, a transfer system for smaller ships, and much, much, more.
The Engineering Department is the innovative core of the company. The main disciplines within Engineering are Motion Control, Drawing and Design and Mechanical Engineering. Engineers have their base at the Delft headquarters, but will also be out there, on- and offshore to test and demonstrate the safety and integrity of our systems.
The Motion Control department is responsible for development of new systems and further development of existing Ampelmann systems, in the field of hydraulics, control software and electronics. Development comprises every step of the product development process, including commissioning of new systems on- and offshore.
The Motion Control – Innovation department works in close cooperation with the Motion Control – Operations department. Next to continuously improving existing systems, this department focuses on the trouble shooting of operational systems and therefore has a larger offshore component. Exchange between departments is possibile, also for a limited period of time. As a Senior Motion Control Engineer, you will report to the Manager Motion Control – Innovations.
