-
Leading and coordinating estimating teams during tenders.
-
Conducting and reviewing extensive risk analyses.
-
Advising on alternatives, execution strategies, and contractual choices.
-
Coaching and mentoring fellow cost engineers.

Visiting project locations to define project assumptions and frameworks.
-
Safeguarding knowledge and lessons learned for future tenders.
Your working environment
You will join Tendering & Engineering (T&E): the technical and strategic heart of Van Oord. Here, knowledge and experience from different disciplines come together to develop innovative solutions for complex projects.
Within the Infra Land product line, you will work on infrastructure projects in the Netherlands and surrounding countries. You will become part of an integrated tender team and a professional network of more than 30 cost engineers within the Business Unit Dredging & Infra, including 6 within Infra Land. Together, you ensure that our tenders are technically strong, financially competitive, and executable.
You will work closely with tender management, IPM team members, and other technical specialists. In this environment, you will have plenty of room to take initiative, share knowledge, and contribute to the further development of our tendering processes.
