Vacancy
Our vacancies are exclusively aimed at candidates who wish to join us directly without the involvement of staffing agencies and recruiters. We do not engage with freelancers; acquisition based on these advertisements is not appreciated.
As a Structural Engineer at TILLEN, you will work on engineering projects focused on developing tools for handling heavy and often difficult-to-manage objects. Your primary responsibilities include setting up and analyzing computational models based on (concept) designs from the Design Engineer. Together, you will translate customer requirements and issues into realistic and economically viable solutions. This requires not only deep knowledge of construction techniques but also creativity and problem-solving skills to develop innovative designs that meet specified requirements.
Additionally, you will be responsible for analyzing strength and stiffness requirements based on classification standards and verifying the design against these requirements. You will prepare reports of calculation results for assessment by the relevant classification authority.
As a team member, you will also be involved in brainstorming process improvements within the organization. This role demands a combination of technical expertise, communication skills, and a proactive attitude to contribute to the success of complex engineering projects.
You will become part of the Structural team, consisting of a Team Leader, Senior Structural Engineers, and Junior Structural Engineers.
If you enjoy making calculations for structures, collaborating with various teams, and don't mind working under tight deadlines, then this job is for you.
Working week
On an enjoyable workday, you collaborate openly and creatively with your colleagues. It's a rewarding experience to see how ideas ultimately lead to the desired outcome.

The company designs and delivers customized solutions for the safe and efficient handling of heavy constructions, such as those for wind farms, contributing to the energy transition. The team comprises experts in mechanical engineering and structural engineering. By pooling these skills, tailored solutions are created, manufactured, and implemented for handling heavy and unwieldy loads. The expertise extends beyond heavy lifting, serving various markets. Designs range from specialized equipment to supporting structures and other handling devices with diverse applications. In addition to engineering, an increasing part of our activities involves manufacturing our designs, ultimately delivering complete solutions to customers. This process includes visiting the manufacturing workshop, devising and conducting tests, and participating in the final acceptance by the customer.
In addition to vacancies for Sales Engineers, Project Managers, and Structural Engineers, we are always looking for CAD Engineers, Design Engineers, and Project Managers. Please send your application to tim.huele@tillen.com.
