Electrical & Facility Technician

About the role

In this role, you'll carry out electrical installations, maintain and troubleshoot production equipment, and ensure our systems meet the highest safety standards — all while supporting general facility upkeep across our sites. You'll be the go-to technical expert who keeps things running, solves problems fast, and helps integrate new equipment as we grow.

What you'll do

• Carry out electrical installations, modifications, and repairs on production equipment and building infrastructure in compliance with VDE/DIN/IEC standards.
• Perform routine and preventive maintenance on electrical systems, control panels, and machinery.
• Troubleshoot electrical faults across production equipment — diagnosing and resolving issues quickly to minimise downtime.
• Support the integration of new equipment into existing production lines.
• Conduct electrical safety testing and inspections (DGUV V3) and maintain accurate maintenance records.
• Work with PLC-controlled systems (Beckhoff); basic troubleshooting and parameter adjustments — full programming not required.
• Carry out general facility maintenance tasks — lighting, plumbing basics, doors, flooring, and building services.
• Support the team during equipment commissioning, relocations, and facility upgrades.

What you'll need

• Completed apprenticeship (Berufsausbildung) in electrical engineering, mechatronics, or a related trade.
• Legal certification to carry out electrical work independently — Elektrofachkraft (EFK) status per DIN VDE 1000-10 / DGUV V3 is required.
• 3-5 years practical experience in an industrial or manufacturing environment — food production or FMCG is a strong plus.
• Solid understanding of German and European electrical regulations (VDE, DIN, IEC).
• Comfortable reading electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
• Broad hands-on skills across electrical and general facility maintenance — a 'fix it' mindset.
• Strong German language skills are required; English is a plus.
• Willingness to be on-call during night shifts and provide on-demand technical support to production equipment.

What they offer

• On-call bonus: up to €300/week when covering night shift on-call duty on top of base salary.
• Opportunity to scale operations and build new facility in Bernau bei Berlin.
• Work with world-class VC and angel backing.
