The role
From the A2 Vonderen - Kerensheide junction, Marker Wadden and coastal reinforcements to complex road construction and dike projects: as a senior corporate counsel at Boskalis Nederland, you contribute to projects that keep the Netherlands safe, accessible, and livable. You are a strong legal sparring partner for project teams, management, and the board, and you play an important role in the further professionalization of the legal function. In doing so, you actively share knowledge within the organization.
Go for it!
As a senior corporate counsel, you are close to the business. You think along during tenders, advise on contracts, and support project teams with complex legal issues. In doing so, you combine legal expertise with a pragmatic approach that fits the dynamics of our projects.
In addition to your role as a legal advisor, you also help to further develop legal knowledge and working methods within Boskalis Nederland. You take the initiative to establish legal templates, standards, and best practices and to involve colleagues in developments within the field. With this, you make an important contribution to the further professionalization of the organization.
"What makes this position special is the combination of legal depth and visible impact. You contribute to projects that literally change the Netherlands and you are never on the sidelines. We challenge each other on substance, spar extensively with the business, and are given the space to take responsibility independently." Every day, you deal with the law in a practical way.
What you'll do
- Guiding tender processes and assessing tender documents and bids.
- Advising on contracts, partnerships, and legal risks during tender and execution phases.
- Supporting contract negotiations both legally and commercially.
- Developing and continuously improving legal templates, models, and working methods.
- Training and coaching colleagues, project teams, and stakeholders to further increase legal awareness within the organization.
Do you recognize yourself in this?
You make complex legal issues understandable and translate them into practical solutions for colleagues and project teams. You dare to advise critically, take different interests into account, and actively seek collaboration. In doing so, you switch effortlessly between strategic issues, operational challenges, and diverse stakeholders.
