HR Advisor

Apply
Do you enjoy helping managers and employees navigate people matters? As an HR Advisor at Van Oord, you will work closely with two HR Business Partners and support three departments. You will work in a fast-moving, international project organisation where priorities can shift quickly and good judgement, clear advice and strong collaboration make a visible difference. Together, you help build the future.

THE POSITION

As an HR Advisor, you are the first point of contact for managers and employees on a wide range of people matters. You combine hands-on advice with a focus on quality, consistency and the needs of the business. Together with two HR Business Partners, you support the people agenda across three departments: Survey, QHSE and Procurement & Supply Chain, including Facilities. You work closely with HR Operations and our Centres of Expertise to make sure HR processes run smoothly. You take ownership of questions and involve the right specialists when needed. This helps you keep things moving while working in line with our HR policies, standards and procedures.

YOUR IMPACT

You help managers deal with people matters in a confident and consistent way. Your advice supports employees and helps the organisation move forward. You work with different teams and stakeholders across three departments, each with their own priorities and people challenges. Your role gives you a broad view of HR in an international project organisation. You contribute to improvements that make our people processes work better.

More specifically, you:

  • Advise and coach managers on employee relations topics such as performance, absenteeism, vitality, engagement, personal development and disciplinary matters.
  • Support two HR Business Partners in delivering the people agenda and the annual HR cycle across three departments.
  • Guide managers through HR policies, processes and systems. You make complex topics clear and turn them into practical actions.
  • Coordinate with HR Operations and our Centres of Expertise to support an efficient, compliant and consistent employee journey, from job offer and onboarding to offboarding.
  • Use HR data, dashboards and business insights to identify themes, improve decisions and strengthen HR support.


YOUR WORKPLACE

You will work with colleagues across Survey, QHSE and Procurement & Supply Chain, including Facilities. These departments have different priorities, stakeholders and people challenges. This makes your work varied and gives you insight into different parts of the organisation. You work closely with two HR Business Partners and build relationships with managers, employees and HR specialists. You are part of an international project organisation where teams, projects and stakeholders work across countries and cultures. Together, you connect the business with the wider HR function and help create a consistent employee experience.


ABOUT YOU

You are approachable and pragmatic. You use your judgement with confidence and know how to balance operational questions with more complex people cases. You keep the bigger picture in mind and communicate clearly with different stakeholders. You build trust quickly and feel comfortable working with different cultures and perspectives.

You also have:

  • A relevant bachelor’s or master’s degree.
  • Approximately four years of relevant HR experience, preferably in a complex international project organisation.
  • Strong organisational sensitivity, business awareness and a collaborative working style.
  • Excellent written and spoken Dutch and English.

WE OFFER

In this role, you will work on a broad range of HR topics and help managers and employees make a positive difference across our international organisation.

  • A salary that matches your responsibilities and experience
  • Attractive travel allowance (€0.31 per km) and home working allowance (€2.40 per day)
  • 32 holidays (of which a maximum of 7 are collective)
  • Variable bonus, partly dependent on company results
  • Attractive pension scheme
  • Option for collective health insurance (Van Oord pays for your supplementary package)
  • Extensive development opportunities, including a comprehensive online academy via Goodhabitz
  • Communities to join, such as Young Van Oord, Van Oord Women, and the Van Oord staff association
  • Various events and sports activities, such as skiing, sailing weekends, cycling, and motorcycling
