Proces Manager Asset Management

As a Process Manager Asset Management, you will work on maintenance contracts within the field of maritime and water infrastructure, including waterways, coastal and shoreline structures, ports, dikes, bridges & locks, and pumping stations. We do this with a climate-adaptive approach and a positive impact on biodiversity, working on projects such as the Afsluitdijk and the Rhine Branches floodplains.

• Rotterdam
• 40 hours per week

THE POSITION

Your challenge is to ensure that our operations remain well-organized as we continue to expand. In this role you:

• Will coordinate, analyze, and improve ways of working within one or more long-term maintenance contracts, while helping to develop and refine our standard approach;
• Are enthusiastic about technology and enjoy a challenge, but you are not necessarily a hardcore technical specialist;
• Act as the link between technology and the client, as well as between the people within the tender or project team;
• Coach and motivate your colleagues to achieve better results together.

YOUR WORK PLACE

As a Process Manager, you will be part of Van Oord Asset Management. Van Oord Asset Management focuses on the long-term maintenance of maritime and water infrastructure. As we are a growing organization, there is plenty of room to shape your role and further develop yourself. You will be part of integrated project management teams and work both from project locations and our office in Rotterdam. For this position, you will work on the Afsluitdijk two to three days per week.

YOUR IMPACT

In this role, we are looking for someone who enjoys working in small teams. In doing so, you add value to our clients’ assets by providing long-term reliability rather than short-term gains.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Maintaining control over the project's management aspects, including scope, planning, costs, risks, quality, information, and the interdependencies between them;
• Monitoring project progress, identifying risks, and advising project management on appropriate control measures;
• Establishing processes and project structures in line with Van Oord’s way of working and relevant ISO standards, such as ISO 55000, ISO 15288, and ISO 33000;
• Translating contract requirements into practical and executable ways of working, ensuring that colleagues and external stakeholders understand what is expected of them;
• Improving existing processes, sharing your knowledge with colleagues, and contributing to a consistent way of working across Asset Management.

ABOUT YOU

As a Process Manager, you bring structure to complex processes and maintain a clear overview, even when multiple priorities compete for attention. Thanks to your analytical mindset and helicopter view, you are able to translate complex challenges into clear agreements and practical ways of working. You move comfortably between technical specialists, clients, and colleagues, connecting different interests and aligning stakeholders. With strong influencing skills, you bring others along in change initiatives, coach colleagues where needed, and contribute to the further development of the team.

As our Asset Management organization continues to grow and evolve, you are energized by building and improving new ways of working. You naturally take ownership and help shape your role and responsibilities. Do you recognize yourself in this profile? And do you meet the requirements below? If so, we would love to get to know you!

• At least 5 years of experience in process management, for example as a Process Coordinator, Maintenance Engineer, or Process Manager within the civil engineering sector;
• Bachelor’s degree level (HBO) working and thinking capability; your competencies are more important than your specific field of study;
• Strong command of the Dutch language and sufficient English skills to communicate with international colleagues;
• Willingness to work on the Afsluitdijk two to three days per week;
• Affinity with (maritime and water) infrastructure.

Knowledge of or experience with ISO 55000, ISO 15288, or ISO 33000 (or similar process management standards) is considered a plus.

We will gladly help you learn the rest.
