Are you someone who enjoys solving the puzzle of a project, working accurately and collaborating with colleagues and suppliers? Do you like structure, precision and overview? Then Variass has the job for you!

Your role
As Material Calculator, you are the connecting link between engineering, procurement and project management. You ensure that projects have the right materials available at the right time and that costs are reliably estimated. Together with colleagues - such as engineers and project leaders - you will dive into technical specifications of printed circuit boards and mechanical parts.

You will contribute to successful projects by:

  • Analyzing technical drawings and bills of materials (BOMs).
  • Requesting and comparing quotes from different suppliers.
  • Collaborate with engineering and procurement to arrive at the best choices.
  • Record your calculations and explanations clearly for the project team.
  • Identifying savings opportunities in materials and processes.

You will work closely with your team of seven colleagues and other departments.

Your development
At Variass we believe in growth - of people and of the organization. We work in a dynamic environment with several branches and a sister company in Eindhoven. The market changes quickly and offers plenty of opportunities. You get the space to develop yourself, both within your function and within our organization.

Who are you?
You work accurately, think analytically and can translate technical information into practical choices. You communicate clearly with colleagues from different fields and ask questions when something is not clear.

What are you bringing?

  • MBO+ / HBO working and thinking level, for example through a completed technical education or relevant experience in calculation or purchasing.
  • Affinity for engineering, such as mechanical and/or electronic components.
  • You enjoy working practically with figures, drawings and parts lists.
  • You can work well independently and actively seek cooperation.
  • You have a good command of both Dutch and English.

What does Variass have to offer you?

  • Immediate permanent contract possible for 36 to 40 hours per week
  • Flexible working hours
  • Pension accrual and group plans.
  • 27 vacation days and 13 additional vacation days based on full-time employment.
  • Free fruit every week.

In addition to development and hard work, we also value fun and relaxation. For example, we regularly organize staff outings, an annual company party, meetings with food trucks and lunches around holidays.

About Variass
We are a down-to-earth, high-tech company that not only innovates, but also contributes to social developments, for example in the field of medical technology and sustainable energy. We develop and produce high-quality products that improve people's lives, from infusion pumps to advanced transplant technology. With our digital and sustainable character, we help our customers to be successful in their business.
