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

• 26 vacation days for a full-time employment plus a variable number of unscheduled 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 based on a 40-hour employment contract.
• A laptop and phone.
• A good pension scheme for which Boskalis Netherlands pays the premiums in full. This means you keep 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 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.

It happens outdoors! And that is where you make the difference. As a site manager at Boskalis Nederland, you ensure that the execution of projects runs smoothly. Within Rivers & Dikes, 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 site manager.

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 move projects one step further every day and see plans become reality. You also constantly look at how our work can be done smarter, while continuing to supervise that everyone works safely. Because at Boskalis, safety always comes first.

What makes your work extra special? You contribute to protection against flooding. Because at Rivers & Dikes, we work on dikes, waterways, and flood defenses: from design to construction and maintenance. Within these projects, all kinds of specialisms come together, such as large-scale earthmoving and hydraulic engineering.

This is what your work looks like:

This makes your future colleague proud
"At Boskalis Nederland, you get a lot of responsibility and the freedom to organize your work in your own way. That not only leads to more job satisfaction, but also to satisfied clients and beautiful results!"

Taco, Director Rivers & Dikes

You convey your message clearly. You also always think one step ahead and respond to what is needed in the next phase.
