Production Engineer Dredging

Production Engineer Dredging

As a Production Engineer Dredging, you will be responsible for designing and developing technologically complex dredging projects. You will specialize in a high variety of dredging projects that will challenge your analytical skills and creativity, in close cooperation with several other disciplines within the company. The variety extends from beach nourishments to large reclamation works and from small maintenance dredging works to large integrated capital dredging works around the globe. These projects are inherent to innovative solutions, which leads to the ability of Van Oord’s competitive edge.

You will become part of the production team. Within the team, the atmosphere is open and informal. Cooperation and helping each other are important values. Your aim is to support our commercial department and project teams both in the tender and execution phase. When a new tender is assigned to you, you will start by interpreting and analysing the available documents. With your developing expertise on complex work methods, production details, and deployment of different types of competitive equipment, you figure out a cost-efficient work method. Details of produced documents will be part of proposals towards potential clients. Once a project is awarded, you can experience in reality what you have devised.
