As Internal Communication Advisor, you play a key role in strengthening alignment within Van Oord. You work in the Stakeholders and Sustainability team and report to the Lead Internal Communication. From major change programmes to organisation wide initiatives, you translate strategy into clear and compelling communication.
You move confidently between departments and projects. You advise managers and project leaders and ensure that communication supports business goals and strengthens engagement. You see the bigger picture and know how to turn it into stories that resonate across teams, vessels and offices worldwide.
Your work helps colleagues understand where we are going and how they contribute. You create clarity in times of change and connection in times of growth.
You will:
• Develop and implement communication plans for departments, change programmes and strategic projects
• Advise and support managers and project leaders on complex communication challenges
• Translate strategy into strong narratives and audience focused communication across channels
• Coordinate communication projects, events and external suppliers from start to finish
• Monitor effectiveness and continuously improve tools, processes and impact
Through your work, colleagues feel informed, aligned and ready to take ownership. You strengthen engagement and help us move forward with confidence.
You will join the Stakeholders and Sustainability team in Rotterdam. A team that believes communication is a powerful driver of culture, connection and progress. We work closely with colleagues across the organisation, from project sites to headquarters.
The atmosphere is open and supportive. We give you trust and freedom to act. You will work with professionals who value clear thinking, honest feedback and teamwork. Together, we make sure our story is consistent, human and future focused.
You are a strategic thinker with a practical mindset. You enjoy advising at management level and taking ownership of delivery yourself. You feel at home in a dynamic, international environment where many topics move at the same time.
You bring:
• Solid experience as an internal communication advisor in a corporate or project driven environment
• HBO level education or equivalent, preferably in communication or a related field
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to translate organisational strategy into clear communication
• Experience with change communication and complex stakeholder environments
• Excellent command of Dutch and English, both written and spoken
You build relationships with ease. You ask sharp questions and give honest advice. You combine overview with action and always focus on impact.
In this role you step into a treasure chest of meaningful stories and become a visible ambassador of a company that represents Dutch maritime excellence worldwide.
Additionally, we offer you:
• A salary that matches your responsibilities and experience
• Attractive travel allowance (€0.31 per km) and home working allowance (€2.45 per day)
• 32 holidays (of which a maximum of 7 are collective)
• Variable bonus
• 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
