Wijnegem / Herenthout

At ATS Antwerp NV, we design, build, and install high-tech electrical solutions for the industry’s leading companies in and around Antwerp and the Kempen region. From pharmaceuticals and food to oil & gas, waste processing, and heavy chemicals: our systems and control panels are the beating hearts of complex industrial sites.

As a Technical Estimator / Project Planner, you’ll be there from the very start of all these exciting projects. No two projects are the same here. You’ll work on a variety of custom projects: from complex panel building and automation projects to drives, UPS systems, charging stations, cable routes, and installation work. Your work location will be flexibly assigned across our sites in Wijnegem and Herenthout.

A UNIQUE, FLYING START (6 MONTHS)

No dry theory or piles of paperwork on day one. As a (junior) cost estimator with us, you’ll dive right into the real world with an active and exciting onboarding program:

1. Start at the Control Panel Workshop: You’ll begin right where the real magic happens. You’ll gain hands-on experience with complex control panels, drives, power switches, and automation systems, and learn how to wire and assemble them.
2. On-Site & in the Industry: You’ll head out into the field to visit impressive industrial sites (pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food). You’ll see firsthand how our signs are installed, how cable routes are laid out, and what’s needed on-site to make a project a success.
3. From the Field to Estimating: Only once you’ve mastered the technical skills and understand what’s happening on-site do we move to the office. Armed with your hands-on experience and our advanced software, you’ll create razor-sharp quotes.

Do you already have the necessary experience as a cost estimator? If so, we’ll tailor your onboarding to your skill level, you’ll quickly dive into our most challenging projects, and you’ll have the freedom to fully utilize your expertise.Job Description
