Pay & benefits

What you'll get

You help the Netherlands move forward, we help you
This is what you can expect from us - in addition to a good salary:

  • 26 vacation days for a full-time employment plus a variable number of roster-free days per year. Additionally, you can purchase extra vacation days.
  • An electric lease car or an mobility budget of at least € 930 gross per month for a 40-hour employment.
  • A laptop and phone.
  • A good pension scheme where Boskalis Netherlands pays the premiums in full. This leaves you with more net salary.
  • 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 home 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.

The role

It happens outdoors! And that is where you make the difference. As a site supervisor at Boskalis Netherlands, you ensure that the execution of projects runs smoothly. Within Coast & Ports, you work on projects throughout the Netherlands, and sometimes in Belgium or Germany. Whether you primarily have experience in the execution itself or are particularly strong in the organizational side of the work: with us, you get all the space to further develop yourself as a supervisor.

Go for it!
You are responsible for the day-to-day operations on the construction site. You manage the skilled workers, monitor the planning, and ensure that the right resources are available on time. In this way, you bring projects one step further every day and see how plans become reality. You also constantly look for ways our work can be smarter, while continuing to ensure that everyone works safely. Because at Boskalis, safety always comes first.

What makes your work even more beautiful? You contribute to protection against flooding. With our experience in water protection, we maintain navigable waterways at depth and widen rivers so that water can continue to flow freely. We always work with care for nature.

This is what your work looks like:

What you'll do

  • Ensuring a safe working environment and a good atmosphere on the work floor. In doing so, you work together with the assistant supervisor.

  • Guiding skilled workers and helping them grow in their trade. You also continue to work on your own development as a professional.

  • Organizing the construction site efficiently, translating the project planning into a detailed schedule, and choosing appropriate working methods.

  • Reporting daily and weekly to the head supervisor and project manager regarding the progress of the project. You also identify deviations and make timely adjustments.

  • Liaising with your colleagues from work preparation, including to submit the complete handover dossier to the client.

Do you recognize yourself in this?

You take responsibility for your work and demonstrate entrepreneurship: you work proactively, dare to chart your own course, and seize opportunities to organize the work more smartly. Thanks to your experience, you have an overview of what is needed to ensure the outdoor work runs well. At the same time, you communicate easily with colleagues in the office. In doing so, you convey your message clearly. You also always think one step ahead and respond to what is needed in the next phase.

Furthermore, you have

Are you doubting whether you have enough experience, but are you enthusiastic? Then we would love to hear from you! Together we will look at what a suitable step would be. This means you could also start as an assistant supervisor.

In their own words

About the company & team

You work together with...
... a team of 50 to 100 colleagues within a project, depending on the phase of the project. What characterizes our project teams? As colleagues, we work closely together and step in for one another where necessary. That makes the atmosphere close-knit and the lines of communication short. We also enjoy meeting up outside of working hours. Good to know: in close consultation with your project team, you can also work from home occasionally.

The Coast & Ports business line concentrates on a wide range of activities. By maintaining our coast and performing nourishment, we protect our country against flooding. By performing maintenance dredging activities on the shipping channels, we keep the ports at depth and therefore accessible. We perform land reclamation projects, construct harbors, and protect sea dikes, beaches, and shorelines. We do this with impressive pieces of equipment, from small to large.

The atmosphere at Boskalis Netherlands? It is down-to-earth, collegial, and sincerely involved - in the site office, at the project locations, and in the office. We help each other forward, keep learning, and all have the same goal in mind: delivering the work as well as possible. In everything we do, you feel the passion for the profession and the pride in our work.
