How you can make your mark
You can make your mark as Trainee if you want to learn, encounter and experience a lot in a short period of time. As Trainee, you will be part of the tendering-, engineering- or operational phase of a dredging project like the development of the port of Duqm in Oman or an offshore energy project such as the impressive dual vessel float-over of the Aasta Hansteen.
During the tendering- and engineering phase you will act as a Trainee Engineer and translate client requirements to optimal economic proposals, technical designs, and work methods. Naturally, you will also secure that the proposed solution is competitive, engineering is fit for purpose and that it is completed within the given timeframe.
During the operational phase of a project, you will work as Trainee Superintendent and there is a good chance that you will be flying out to work on a multidisciplinary project. Our fleet consists of around 900 vessels and pieces of machinery and in the operational phase, you work closely with these assets. As Trainee Fleet Management you play an important role in the preparation of large and small repairs but you will also carry out actual repairs and assists with vessel modifications.
Your workplace depends on the project.
As a trainee in the technical discipline, you will be exposed to assignments/ projects in both Dredging and Offshore Energy.

Abbe's final Traineeship assignment is in Qatar, after a year on projects in Mexico, Nigeria and Abu Dhabi. 'I learned quickly about our inter-office accounting methods and systems and haven’t seen much of the Netherlands the past year!' He also had time for his hobbies: outdoor sports and travel.
‘On a project, our working day is twelve hours: taking measurements on land and water with advanced equipment, using sound and GPS signals. We process the results in a project office to create maps and charts. The unpredictability and variety are the things about this job that appeal to me.’
