BI and reporting specialist

We are looking for a BI and reporting specialist to provide insight from cost data to our stakeholders, by transforming and visualising data into comprehensive reports and dashboards.

In this role, you will support the cost engineering department by developing reporting products in both Excel and Power BI. Besides developing reporting products, this role will provide a solid understanding of Van Oord’s business and offers the opportunity to meet many different colleagues throughout Van Oord. Depending on your ambition and affinity, this role could be a starting point to specialise further in the domain of BI development and analysis or grow towards an operational role in the business.

YOUR IMPACT

Your primary responsibility will be the design and development of reporting solutions for the cost engineering discipline. Specifically, you will:

• Design, develop, and maintain Excel based reporting solutions tailored to business needs;
• Support Power BI based reporting solutions;
• Offer daily user support to users: ensuring smooth operation and resolving any issues with the reporting tools, provide user training, advising, and guidance to users;
• Continuously improve and optimise reporting processes for greater efficiency and accuracy;
• Create and update comprehensive technical documentation and user guides for reporting solutions.

Van Oord is an ambitious, enterprising organisation. "We Create", "We Care", "We work together" and "We succeed" are our company values. As a BI and reporting specialist within the Cost Engineering department, you contribute to these values by providing the best possible reporting products for our tender- and commercial teams. As a company with a global presence, Van Oord increasingly relies on quality data to support decision-making. This is especially key in cost estimating, so we are focused on building a strong and reliable foundation for our department’s data infrastructure and estimating capabilities.

The team you will be joining is the development team of the cost engineering department at Van Oord. Cost engineers at Van Oord make predictions or forecasts of project costs over time, and such predictions are needed from the first initiation to the completion of our projects. Typically, an estimate for a Van Oord project is detailed, and Van Oord executes many projects leading to a lot of data. To translate detailed estimate data into insights for decision-makers, Van Oord uses reporting solutions in Excel and Power BI.
