What you'll bring to the team

 

Do you have a passion for creating safe, smooth-running, and magical experiences? Are you an organised, hands-on technical leader who loves solving problems before they even happen? Then come and join the fun at LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre Scheveningen.

 

We’re on the lookout for a Technical Manager to lead all attraction maintenance, ensure the highest standards of safety and compliance, and support our teams in delivering unforgettable experiences for families from across the Netherlands and beyond.

 

As our Technical Manager, you will be responsible for the day-to-day maintenance and safety of the attraction, ensuring that our rides, play areas, facilities, and LEGO® features are operating at their very best.

You will:

  • Lead the Technical & Facilities function at the attraction, ensuring legal compliance, safety, and operational readiness at all times.

  • Plan and execute preventative maintenance programmes for all attractions, equipment, and building systems.

  • Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues swiftly to minimise downtime and support a seamless guest experience.

  • Manage on-site contractors and external partners, ensuring work is delivered safely, efficiently, and to company standards.

  • Oversee stock management, tools, spare parts, and maintenance budgets.

  • Maintain accurate documentation, logs, and compliance records.

  • Play a key role in health & safety, risk assessments, and emergency procedures.

  • Support wider attraction projects, refurbishments, and new installations.

  • Collaborate closely with the Operations, Guest Experience, and LEGO® Model teams to ensure everything on site looks great, works perfectly, and delights our guests.

Qualifications & Experience

You are a proactive, solutions-focused technical professional with a strong understanding of mechanical and/or electrical systems and a passion for delivering great results.

You will bring:

  • Previous experience in a technical, facilities, engineering, or maintenance role — ideally in a leisure, hospitality, attractions, or similar fast-paced environment.

  • Solid understanding of technical safety standards, risk management, and compliance requirements.

  • Experience managing contractors and overseeing planned maintenance schedules.

  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to stay calm under pressure.

  • Good organisational skills and the ability to prioritise effectively.

  • A hands-on approach — you’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves.

  • Great communication skills and the ability to work with teams across the attraction.

  • A positive, guest-focused mindset — because everything we do is about creating magical moments!

Experience in ride maintenance or within a themed entertainment environment is a bonus, but not essential.

Benefits

At LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre Scheveningen, no two days are the same. You’ll join a passionate team who love what they do — bringing imagination, learning, and LEGO® creativity to life.

You’ll also benefit from:

  • A fun, dynamic working environment where your ideas are valued

  • Merlin Magic Pass – giving you free access to attractions across the global Merlin portfolio

  • Opportunities for development and progression across our international attractions

  • Competitive salary and benefits

  • A chance to be part of something truly unique in the Netherlands!
