Senior Surveyor

At Van Oord, we build landmark maritime works which are often essential to ensure people's safety (and dry feet) and contribute to sustainable development. We love our work, but we don't love surprises. That's why your role as Surveyor is so important. You supply the project teams on site (from the Afsluitdijk in the Netherlands to the tropical Maldives or even off the coast of Taiwan) with topographic and hydrographic information, based on which important decisions are made. On a rotation basis and with a good work/ life balance, you provide the information required for the safe, responsible, sustainable and efficient execution of projects costing millions. Whether it's land reclamation, an offshore wind farm or the construction of a port, the project teams need to be able to trust your information implicitly. From setting up, maintaining and calibrating the advanced measurement equipment to analysing and incorporating the data into accurate and reliable maps, thanks to your efforts we will never be stumbling around in the dark. This is rightly regarded as a vital link and indeed a unique role, calling for your knowledge and ingenuity on and below the water. Other responsibilities will be:

• You will be responsibility for training our junior surveyors to a higher level in their position;
• You also give your advise on creative solutions with significant complexity for the tender and/or execution phase of our projects.

YOUR WORKPLACE

You will be part of Van Oord’s Survey department, and your primary focus is on using your technical expertise to provide others with the information they need and challenge stakeholders in their decision making and ensure a safe and (cost) efficient project execution. 

You are an analytical and accurate worker. You have no problem working with your fellow Surveyors on big projects but if you're the only one in the team, you're also happy with that. You like sharing your knowledge and provide solid advice for the project managers and the project team. In addition, you bring the following to the table:

• At least four 5-10 years work experience as a surveyor on comparable projects;
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in hydrography or oceanography;
• Good communication skills and ability to work effectively in a team;
• Excellent command of the English language.

Working in an international, high demanding and dynamic organisation, with the possibility to truly have impact on our business, people and environment. We offer a complete package with excellent secondary employment benefits. The package includes among other things:

• A salary that matches your responsibilities and experience;
• Additional allowances for working on board / on project locations abroad;
• Travel allowance (€0.31 per km) and home office allowance (€2,15 per day);
• 32 leave days per year;
• Variable bonus;
• Pension scheme;
• Collective health insurance (optional);
• Flexible working from home policy, 2 days a week when working on a full-time basis;
• Extensive learning and (personal) development possibilities, including a wide range of online courses via Goodhabitz;
• You can join communities, like Young Van Oord, Van Oord Women and the Van Oord staff association;
• We organise several (sport) events, e.g. winter sport, weekend of sailing, cycling and a motorcycle tour.
