Maintain what runs the world

On the road | Full-time

What happens when the installations that keep factories, infrastructure and industries running need maintenance?

That’s where ABB comes in.

We take care of the service of low- and medium-voltage installations that power crucial industrial processes in Belgium and Luxembourg. From heavy industry to the energy sector: our engineers work behind the scenes on the systems that keep the world moving.

As a Field Service Engineer Electrification, you make sure these installations continue to operate safely and reliably. You perform maintenance, troubleshoot technical issues, and commission installations at industrial customer sites.

Your Mission

Customers rely on you to keep their electrical installations running safely and reliably. You work on complex low- and medium-voltage installations in industrial environments. Safety, precision and technical expertise are always central.

You usually work independently on location in Belgium and Luxembourg, but you stay connected with colleagues and support teams whenever needed.

You maintain what keeps the industrial world running.

What your typical day looks like

Performing maintenance, troubleshooting issues, and commissioning low- and medium-voltage installations and power circuit breakers

Working on heavy electrical systems (e.g., systems between 400V and 36,000V and 600 amperes) and carrying out technical modifications to improve performance

Testing and inspecting switchgear to ensure safe operation

Preparing intervention, testing and maintenance reports and documenting protocols correctly

Supporting customers with reliable service, always following strict safety procedures for medium-voltage installations

Why you’re a great fit

You bring strong technical foundations, an eye for detail, and the sense of responsibility needed to work confidently with high‑power electrical installations. You enjoy working independently but are also a strong team player.

You also have:

A degree in Electricity, Electromechanics or Energy Technology (A2, bachelor’s degree or equivalent through experience)

Experience with industrial electrical installations or power systems, or the motivation to deepen your expertise

Fluency in Dutch and French, and the ability to communicate in English

Willingness to travel to customers in Belgium and Luxembourg; a valid driver’s license

What you get in return

You run what runs the world. And in return, you receive strong support so you can take on this mission with confidence.

We offer:

An attractive salary

Electric company car with European charging card

Meal vouchers

32 days of leave (20 statutory + 12 ADV days)

Hospitalization, group and pension insurance

Flexible working arrangements: possibility to travel directly from home to the customer

Why ABB?

In ABB’s Service Division, you help customers improve the availability, reliability and lifetime of their electrical installations. In doing so, we also contribute to more sustainable and efficient industrial processes.

At ABB, we believe innovation happens when different ideas, backgrounds and experiences come together. That’s why we welcome curious, creative and driven people who want to help build the technology of tomorrow.

How we calculate "similar"

No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.

Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.

Unmatched or unknown dimensions score exactly the same: 0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
