The position

As a PQ & Tender Support Officer, you are at the heart of our commercial success. You manage vendor registrations, ESG pre qualifications and customer information to ensure Van Oord is always ready to compete for new opportunities. You are one of the first points of contact for our clients and support them throughout the pre qualification process.

You also play a central role throughout the full tender cycle for Offshore Energy projects.

Your impact

Your work makes a direct contribution to winning new projects and strengthening Van Oord's position in the offshore energy market. You bring people, information and expertise together to deliver complete, accurate and compelling submissions.

Your responsibilities include:

• Managing vendor registrations, ESG assessments and pre qualification platforms to keep Van Oord qualified for future opportunities.
• Analysing customer requirements and coordinating the pre qualification and tender process from start to finish.
• Coordinating input from Commercial, QHSE, Finance, Legal and Operations to deliver high quality and compliant submissions.
• Preparing and managing pre qualification documents, RFI responses and tender documentation while showcasing Van Oord's expertise, innovations and sustainable solutions.
