Cost Engineer at Van Oord

As a Cost Engineer, you will work on projects around the world that vary in difficulty, including:

• Deepening of shipping lanes
• Coastal protection
• Construction of new land
• Construction of ports

Together with the tender team (including tender manager, production engineer, planner, risk engineer), you are responsible for the budgeting and production of winning tender documents for multidisciplinary and complex projects, where we are increasingly the main contractor. You will have regular meetings with commercially responsible colleagues about cost estimates, opportunities, and risks involved in the execution of these projects.

Responsibilities

• Collecting relevant information from the production, engineering, and purchasing departments and during visits to the project sites
• Translating this data into budgets with corresponding schedules and work descriptions
