Flex Staff Specialist

FlexOord has been the Van Oord central hiring desk for over 4 years. We support in hiring and contracting flexible workers on board our vessels, projects, and offices. You will be the point of contact for departments within Van Oord, suppliers, and candidates. FlexOord aims to be a single point of contact and to offer a standardized and digitalized process for hiring and onboarding flexible employees. To support this process, we use a vendor management system.

In addition to managing the operational hiring process, we are also undergoing significant development. Much of these improvement initiatives involve our supplier management and positioning our flex staff specialists at a more strategic level.

The regular work location is Rotterdam. You are willing to work at our office in Gorinchem if necessary. Hybrid working is, of course, also possible!

• Proficient in both Dutch and English language, both spoken and written;
• Good insight into working in a complex, multidisciplinary environment;
• The right attitude to get things done.
