In this role, you will be the technical conscience of our infrastructure projects in the Dutch market, such as IJsselmeerdijk Reinforcement, Tiel–Waardenburg Dike Reinforcement, the A15 extension and the Afsluitdijk. These projects vary from €50 million up to €1 billion.
You lead the design and engineering teams during the design, preparation and execution phases. Your challenge lies in translating all internal and external requirements into strong, feasible designs — and ensuring these are realised during execution within scope, quality and time. You balance the interests of clients, partners and stakeholders with confidence and clarity.
You are part of the Project Management Team and report to the Project Director. Together with the Contract Manager, Process Manager, Environmental Manager and Construction Manager, you make sure every design decision supports our mission: building resilient infrastructure for future generations.
• Lead multidisciplinary design and preparation teams, ensuring smooth interfaces between work packages
• Translate requirements into innovative, sustainable and commercially sound designs
• Apply creative technical solutions that support CO2-neutral construction

• At least 15 years of relevant experience in civil infrastructure, preferably in linear infrastructure or dike reinforcement projects
• Excellent communication and reporting skills in both English and Dutch
• Confident, self-driven and able to create alignment across disciplines and interests
We offer you a position in which you will make an important contribution to our mission of “building a better world for future generations” in an organisation that focuses on exclusive market segments.
