Project Manager Asset Management

In this role, you will lead an integrated lot team in which colleagues from Van Oord Asset Management, Rebel Group and Rijkswaterstaat work together as one team. There is no traditional client - contractor relationship, but rather shared responsibility for results, budget and societal value.

WOUW focuses on the sustainable and efficient maintenance of the floodplains along the major rivers. The task is both clear and complex: safe and natural floodplains for everyone, within a fixed budget and with room for learning, optimisation and innovation.

You are a driven project manager with an eye for people, technology and the environment. You are exceptionally capable of further developing the team to jointly achieve the set objectives in a safe working environment. In addition, you have excellent communication and social skills. You also bring:

• Extensive experience as a project manager in the Dutch civil engineering (GWW) or water sector;
• Experience with long-term maintenance programmes;
• Strong capabilities in leading integrated and/or multidisciplinary teams;
• Political/administrative sensitivity combined with strong substantive expertise.

• A distinctive role for a project manager who wants to steer on long-term value in the Dutch river area. In addition, we offer:
• A salary that matches your responsibilities and experience;
• 32 days of annual leave (of which a maximum of 7 are collective);
• A company car;
• A solid pension scheme;
• A variable bonus, partly dependent on company performance;
• Home-working allowance (€2.40 per day);
• Flexible remote working arrangements: on a full-time basis, you can work from home 2 days per week;
• Extensive development opportunities, including access to Goodhabitz’s comprehensive online academy.

As Project Manager Rijntakken, you are integrally responsible for the execution, steering and further development of the lot. You operate in a politically and technically complex environment and move comfortably between strategy and execution. You will:

• Steer value-driven choices: safety, nature, water quality, sustainability and predictable maintenance;
• Be responsible for delivery within the fixed budget, including prioritisation and optimisation;
• Safeguard the link between asset management and maintenance, together with the asset managers in the team;
• Act as a discussion partner for Rijkswaterstaat on progress, risks, scope changes and future programming;
• Create a working environment in which people want to remain committed to the programme.
