Mechanical product development engineer and PLM configurator

About Intergas
For more than 50 years, Intergas, part of the American company Rheem since 2019, has focused on perfecting heating systems. During that period Intergas has grown into the market leader in the field of high-efficiency central heating boilers. This status obliges us to continue to devise and develop solutions in the future that meet the demand for comfortable heat. With smart and innovative products, but also with sustainable energy sources and high-tech heat solutions that respond to the energy transition. In addition, we believe in a future in which there is room for multiple heating solutions next to each other. Advanced solutions such as all-electric and hybrid appliances, but also the “conventional” gas-fired central heating boiler. We are constantly working to explore and push our boundaries. The starting point is always the same: the development and production of reliable heat sources with a high efficiency. The location in Coevorden has over 350 employees.
