Production Engineer Transport & Installation

Van Oord is an internationally active company focusing on dredging and offshore wind power. The company is family-owned, headquartered in Rotterdam (Netherlands) and employs 5,300 people worldwide. Offshore wind is one of the fastest-growing markets for green energy. By building offshore wind farms, Van Oord is contributing to the energy transition. To maintain our leading position and keep up with the influx of projects in the coming years, we are looking for a Production Engineer Offshore Wind (Transport & Installation) for our Offshore Wind division in Rotterdam, Gorinchem, Hamburg or Stokesley.

YOUR IMPACT

As a Production Engineer, you will make a name for yourself by acting as the single point of contact for production, bridging the gap between tendering and execution. To this end, you are a good communicator and bring first-hand offshore wind experience. So you can drive both our RFPs and our projects forward by:

• Creating accurate production estimates and competitive logistics concepts based on a solid understanding of installation methods and equipment, ideally acquired through first-hand project experience.
• Providing insights into project risks through weather and logistics simulations and advising on tenders and projects.
• Actively participating in the development of our simulation tools and ongoing data integration.
• Coordinating with relevant departments such as engineering, operations and ship management, risk, and planning to find optimal solutions.
• Ensuring continuous improvement of Van Oord and providing assistance in the execution of our projects through regular ship visits, where you gather feedback and practical knowledge.

Your workplace: So, who will you work with? You will work within the production engineer team. The production team has ~50 passionate colleagues driven by the main assets required to successfully complete the project or win a tender. We believe in combining knowledge and expertise to help get the best out of each other.
