HOW YOU CAN MAKE YOUR MARK

Make your mark for the innovative Artificial Intelligence (AI) program at Boskalis and contribute at the forefront of strategically integrating AI into our operations to drive efficiency. Our AI Strategy program is designed to tackle business challenges within strategically defined themes on our assets, Dredging and Offshore vessels and our primary process, our tenders and projects.
To drive this ambition, we are positioning a new AI department on a corporate level. This new team will grow towards a team of 20 at the end of 2025. We are looking for passionate AI Leads, AI Engineers and Business Data Engineers who are eager to contribute to our vision and help us achieve our ambitious goals.
The department will be working on our AI portfolio created by our senior business leaders and validated by our Board of Management. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop and implement AI solutions that fulfil business needs in the area of text analysis and document generation.
We are seeking a forward-thinking individual who is passionate about staying up to date with the latest developments in large language models (LLMs), small language models (SLMs), both closed and open-source models, transformers, and general advancements in AI and next-generation computing. It won’t be necessary to rebuild the wheel but you will instead look for strategic combinations between building and buying solutions, understanding that this balance may fluctuate over time. A mindset geared towards continuous learning and curiosity is essential, as well as the ability to handle feedback and being able to reset your course if needed. If you thrive on tackling new challenges and are eager to grow in a dynamic and innovative environment, we would love to hear from you.
