Tender Engineer Dredging

About the role:

For this position, fluency in Dutch is a prerequisite

Since standing still is going backwards, we continue to invest in the future, our fleet and our personnel.

What you’ll do:

As a Tender Engineer, you play a crucial role together with the tender team in securing new projects. You are involved from the very start of each process, bringing together technical expertise, figures and ideas into a strong, well-founded proposal. You dive into new tenders, unravel complex dossiers and translate information into a clear and feasible plan. You collaborate smoothly with colleagues from various disciplines and always keep the bigger picture in view. Your role at a glance:

• You analyse technical, legal and commercial documents and effortlessly distinguish key issues from details.
• You translate the design into concrete execution descriptions. To this end, you draft clear, structured and persuasive texts for tenders and internal decision-making.
• You bring together colleagues from engineering, finance, legal, QHSSE and other teams to define the right approach.
• You keep control of costs, coordinate with subcontractors and suppliers, and safeguard financial feasibility.
• You work closely with the Area and Tender Manager on a technical and commercial action plan that truly makes a difference. This includes assessing execution methods, materials, risk factors and costs.
• You summarise new tenders concisely and support management in making swift decisions.
• You keep the database of subcontractor quotations up to date and well organised.

You won’t be doing this alone. You will be part of a close-knit team where knowledge sharing comes naturally. You learn something new every day, grow in responsibility and help build projects with a global impact.

• A Master’s degree in Engineering
• A strong interest in dredging techniques and complex projects
• A sharp analytical mind and a fluent pen: you write clearly, in a structured and to-the-point manner
• Planning and organisational skills that bring calm to tight deadlines
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
• Flexibility and perseverance when the pace increases
• Willingness to travel occasionally
