HOW YOU CAN MAKE YOUR MARK

Our Central Fleet Support (CFS) and development department is responsible for new building and conversion activities (from design up to delivery) of the entire Boskalis fleet. We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior project engineer and/or project manager with background in Mechanical engineering. Are you ahead of your time? Are you creative in thinking about innovative designs for the total scope of the Boskalis areas? Do you enjoy working with various specialists to accomplish this goal in a national and international working environment? Are you able to understand the internal clients’ needs and in doing so exceed their expectations by coming up with efficient and creative solutions for their operational demands?
In the role of senior project engineer mechanical, you will make your mark with the mechanical design and/or implementation of new construction and modification of mission equipment for our vessels with a high level of technical complexity. Technology at the highest level has no secrets for you, which means that you are always able to convert a customer’s need into a feasible concept and solution, including complex specifications and budgets. You are responsible for the process of tendering and recruiting of subcontractors and suppliers. As soon as you actually start building or modifying a vessel or related equipment, you might get the role as senior project engineer or project manager. You manage both internal and external parties involved and you oversee aspects such as time, quality and budget. You make sure that realization, commissioning, and aftercare are guaranteed. At the end of a project, it is your job to evaluate and assess project engineers and subcontractors. In addition to carrying out new construction and modification projects, you are also troubleshooter for issues in the field of dredging equipment, offshore deck equipment and power generation.
