You see what others call complexity as an opportunity to create impact. As Engineering Manager, you guide large-scale infrastructure projects from idea to execution. You connect people, disciplines and ideas - turning technical challenges into visible, lasting results for the Netherlands and beyond

In this role, you will be the technical conscience of our infrastructure projects in the Dutch market, such as IJsselmeerdijk Reinforcement, Tiel-Waardenburg Dike Reinforcement, the A15 extension and the Afsluitdijk. These projects vary from €50 million up to €1 billion.

You lead the design and engineering teams during the design, preparation and execution phases. Your challenge lies in translating all internal and external requirements into strong, feasible designs - and ensuring these are realised during execution within scope, quality and time. You balance the interests of clients, partners and stakeholders with confidence and clarity.
