Production Engineer Dredging

Do you want to design and develop technologically complex dredging projects? Are you always focused on how to create a competitive edge? Read on to discover all about the junior position of Production Engineer Dredging.

THE POSITION
As a Production Engineer Dredging, you will be responsible for designing and developing technologically complex dredging projects. You will work on a wide variety of projects—from beach nourishments and large reclamation works to small maintenance dredging works and large integrated capital dredging works around the globe—requiring strong analytical skills and creativity in close cooperation with several other disciplines within the company.

These projects call for innovative solutions and contribute to Van Oord’s competitive edge.

Your aim is to support our commercial department and project teams in both the tender and execution phases. When a new tender is assigned to you, you will start by interpreting and analysing the available documents. Using your developing expertise in complex work methods, production details and the deployment of different types of competitive equipment, you will define a cost-efficient production process.

The resulting documents will form part of proposals towards potential clients. Once a project is awarded, you can experience in reality what you have devised.

YOUR IMPACT
As Production Engineer Dredging your main responsibility is to set up production calculations and work methods for new projects with focus on cost efficiency and robust and competitive solutions. Next to that you will be responsible for:

Interpreting large quantities of data

Determining the most cost efficient combination of equipment and logistical paths

Occasionally visiting projects in execution and advising the project team and vessel crew how to maintain or increase the production process

Continuously searching for ways to optimize the working process

Continuously searching for innovations

Becoming involved in the technical in-house production training courses offered to crew and executive staff at the simulator training center

ABOUT YOU
We are looking for a candidate who brings the following background and qualities:

A Bachelor’s degree preferably in civil engineering in combination with several dredging courses

A genuine (tender) team player, but also able to work independently

An investigative, creative and flexible work approach

Experience with estimation and preparation of dredging works is a plus

Excellent command of the English language

Prepared to work on projects around the globe

WE OFFER
The opportunity to test theory in practice, both with (computer) simulations and on board of our large unique equipment around the world. We challenge you to think innovatively, multidisciplinary, realistically and at the same time out-of-the-box. Also, we offer you a position in which you will have an important contribution to our mission 'building a better world for future generations'.
