Requirements

What we're looking for

Furthermore, you have:

  • MBO or HBO level, for example in the field of civil engineering.
  • Several years of experience as a foreman in civil infrastructure, so that you stand firmly on your own two feet on complex projects.
  • Experience with civil structures, such as bridges, viaducts, underpasses, or other concrete works, preferably within integral or multidisciplinary projects.

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

You help the Netherlands move forward, we help you
This is what you can expect from us:

  • A gross monthly salary of € 3,500 to € 6,500 (depending on knowledge and experience) based on full-time employment (40 hours).
  • Good employment conditions according to the CAO Bouw & Infra for UTA employees (Technical Administrative Executive), including 20 vacation days and 10 non-working days, a monthly payment of 4.96% UTA days budget, and a 2.3% sustainable employability budget.
  • An electric lease car or a mobility budget of at least € 930 gross per month for a 40-hour employment.
  • A good pension scheme where Boskalis Nederland pays most of the premiums. This results in more net salary for you.
  • Plenty of development opportunities. Think of training via our own Boskalis Academy, Performance & Development conversations, and engaging sessions - from webinars to career events with training and colleagues sharing their career steps within Boskalis.
  • Projects at locations throughout the country. The Boskalis campus in Papendrecht is the base - here you will find restaurants, a sports field with weekly sports lessons, a state-of-the-art auditorium, a hip coffee spot, and a beautiful view of our own shipping quay.
  • Valuable encounters with colleagues. For example, through networking and knowledge sessions and other events. Or the activities of our communities, such as Young Boskalis and Women@Boskalis.

Do you recognize yourself in this?
With your clear direction, you lay the foundation for the work outdoors. You ensure calm and oversight at the project location and act as a point of contact for clients and subcontractors. You also communicate easily with diverse colleagues, from specialists to project leaders and technical managers. You keep everyone moving in the same direction and signal in time where adjustments are needed, even when the schedule is under pressure or the environment demands a lot. And very importantly: you work well in a team that loves to work hard AND has fun doing it.

The role

Bridges, viaducts, underpasses, and other complex concrete structures that keep the Netherlands safe and accessible: as a civil works foreman, you work on projects that matter! You are in the middle of the execution, maintaining oversight and managing your crew. Thanks to you, work on the construction site proceeds safely and according to schedule.

Go for it!
Boskalis is widening the A2 motorway between the Het Vonderen and Kerensheide interchanges on behalf of Rijkswaterstaat. This widening to 2x3 lanes plus a hard shoulder is necessary to improve the flow of the only north-south motorway connection in South/Central Limburg.
It is just one example of the extensive multi-million euro projects that Boskalis Netherlands is currently working on and for which we are seeking foremen. Which project you start on? We will determine that together based on your interest and region.

One thing is certain: it is always about a (part) project that is technically challenging AND involves many interests. That is exactly what makes your work so beautiful. Because the more stakeholders and interests there are, and the tighter the schedule, the more important it becomes that everything outdoors is correct. You will therefore receive a lot of freedom and responsibility to organize the work in your own way.

This is what your work looks like:

  • Every morning, you instruct the project team about the work and the schedule for that day. You also check whether subcontractors deliver what has been agreed upon.
  • Together with the general foreman, other foremen, and the work planner, you assess how the design can best be implemented outdoors. You also consult with the client and with colleagues from our other disciplines, such as technical managers, ecologists, risk managers, and environmental managers.
  • You manage progress and maintain control over costs. You also contribute ideas for smart working methods and solutions if something changes during execution.
  • Equipment and materials at the right place at the right time? You arrange it, so that the work outdoors can continue.
  • Job satisfaction on the construction site comes first. You maintain the positive atmosphere and understand how important it is to celebrate both large and small successes together.

This makes your future colleague proud
"A large national contractor with the atmosphere of a small company. It is precisely that mix that makes Boskalis Netherlands a beautiful place to work for me. In the team, we are always there for each other and we have lunch together in the site office every day. There is always someone to set the table or fry kroketten. I find it a collaboration and atmosphere to be proud of."
