Electrical, automation and propulsion systems integrator for marine and industry
Eekels Technology is a Groningen-based systems integrator delivering electrical, automation and propulsion installations for vessels and industrial infrastructure. Its stack pairs PLC tooling (Codesys, IEC 61131-3 Structured Text, Siemens, Rockwell, ABB) with C#/.NET and EPLAN, and job posts center on modularizing software and automating parametrization. That points to a push from bespoke project engineering toward a reusable Marpower product platform, backed by an engineering-dominated hiring surge.
Eekels Technology B.V. is a privately held systems integrator founded in 1908 and headquartered in Kolham, Groningen, Netherlands, with 501–1,000 employees. It serves two markets: Marine & Offshore, where it supplies full electrotechnical installations for passenger ships, superyachts, research vessels, merchant ships and offshore wind vessels, and Industry & Infrastructure, covering energy, chemical, food, paper and water clients plus operators of bridges, sluices and water treatment plants. Work spans engineering, panel building, commissioning, and maintenance and service. Under the Marpower brand it offers proprietary solutions such as shore power connections, ship automation and drive technology.
Eekels uses EPLAN Electric P8 and AutoCAD for design, Codesys and IEC 61131-3 Structured Text for PLC work, C#/.NET for software, plus Siemens, Schneider Electric, Rockwell Automation, ABB, SCADA and HMI systems.
Yes. Hiring is accelerating and almost entirely engineering-focused, weighted toward senior and lead profiles, with a few intern, operations and sales openings.
Current work includes a modular propulsion platform, a propulsion and battery system for a superyacht, the Marpower automation platform, automated testing of product modules and an EPLAN configuration base.
