How you can make your mark

Boskalis is currently looking for a student to start (Medio 2026) their graduation project within the Project Planning team at the Global Engineering department of Boskalis Offshore Energy.

As a planner, you are a key player in further developing Boskalis’ position within the Offshore Energy market. Planners support both the tender processes and the execution of projects; we ensure that time, resources and milestones are realistically structured, monitored and continuously improved. By actively engaging with stakeholders, a planner makes a constructive and valued contribution to both the tender and project phases, reducing risks and maximizing opportunities while keeping everyone informed and aligned. The end goal is to achieve a smooth project execution with a reliable and achievable schedule.

A key to success as a planner is being process-minded, able to adapt to different situations and personalities, and to perform well in a high-pressure environment. You are analytical, proactive, and not afraid to highlight what others might overlook: schedule risks, critical path conflicts or unrealistic planning assumptions. Planners not only build and analyse great schedules, they also communicate complex information in a clear and simple way, ensuring full understanding across all stakeholders.

There is no clearly defined topic, but feel free to apply for a graduation thesis at our department, and discuss with us what your interests are, what drives you, and where those interests can be a benefit for Boskalis. In cooperation, we will work out a tailor-made assignment.

The following competencies are also important for the role:
