Are you the analytical thinker who completes the puzzle?
Where others focus on execution, you determine the course early in the process. As a cost expert / infra calculator, you work on (multidisciplinary) infra projects ranging from roads and structures to K&L and area development, laying the foundation for winning bids with sharp estimates and clear analyses. You work primarily from the office (hybrid possible): ideal if you want to make an impact on projects but do not (want to) work outdoors anymore.
This will be your job
In your role as cost expert/infra calculator, you are the specialist who ensures our projects are correctly calculated, from the initial estimate to the final bid. You are not only involved in tenders but also take ownership of independent bids where you are in the lead for the entire process: coordination with project managers and site managers, requesting contract scans, providing the cost calculation, and conducting the final discussion before submitting the bid documents.
You translate specifications, drawings, and Notes of Inquiry into reliable quantities and cost elements. You see exactly what is needed and what it costs;
You prepare estimates and tender budgets, including scenario and sensitivity analyses for price, planning, and risk, so that decisions are based on facts and you make well-founded choices;
You request quotes from suppliers and subcontractors, create price comparisons, and substantiate your choices; your analyses ensure sharp and realistic tender budgets;
You provide substantive input for EMVI/plan of approach, such as cost substantiation, optimizations, and sustainability and execution scenarios, making our bids not only cost-efficient but also qualitatively strong;
You identify opportunities and risks, secure assumptions, and elaborate on these in the opportunity and risk dossier; your sharp eye helps to make bids even stronger;
You contribute directly to winning bids for various infra and civil works in the North West region; your work forms the basis of success;
You are in the lead for independent bids: you coordinate with project managers and site managers, request the contract scan, handle the complete cost calculation, and take care of the closing discussion and handover of the bid documents, with plenty of room for your own initiative and independence.
You will be working at Dura Vermeer Infra regio Noord West. Our (head) office can be found in Cruquius, North Holland; additionally, we have regional offices in Almere, Amsterdam, Alkmaar, and Oude Meer. Anyone driving through the work area of Dura Vermeer Infra Regio Noord West drives a loop around the IJsselmeer. From Texel via Amsterdam and Het Gooi to Flevoland. In this region, we build roads, bridges, and sewers. But also quays, fly-overs, and runways. Furthermore, we are strong in long-term management and maintenance contracts. Sustainability plays an important role for us in all cases. Relieving the customer and working together with them, an agreement is an agreement, and delivering projects on time: that is what we stand for.
mbo or hbo work and thinking level, preferably in earth, road, and water engineering (GWW) or civil engineering;
Minimum 3+ years of work experience as a cost expert/calculator in earth, road, and water engineering (GWW);
Excellent communication and presentation skills;
Knowledge of RAW, UAV‑GC, bouwteam and a sense for market prices, logistics, and feasibility;
Analytically strong, organized, meticulous; you communicate smoothly with internal and external stakeholders;
Experience with calculation tools such as Metacom, Office 365, and Excel; curiosity about data/AI support in tenders is a plus.

At Dura Vermeer, we prefer to recruit and select our candidates without the well-intentioned help of 'subcontractors'. In the event of acquisition, we reserve the right to charge for additional work.
Dura Vermeer is an independent family business. And you can notice that. In how we work together, look out for one another, and build with an eye for future generations. Since 1855, we have been building the Netherlands, in residential construction, utility construction, infrastructure, and technology. Our independence and long-term vision form the basis for this.
With a turnover of € 2.6 billion and over 3,700 colleagues, we belong to the top of the Dutch construction sector. But ultimately, it is not about those figures for us. It is about people. About colleagues working together on projects you can be proud of—iconic and close by—and contributing to solutions for societal issues.
Our ambitions are big. And we can only achieve them with committed people. That's why we invest in good employer practices and a working environment where you feel at home. Where you can be yourself, feel safe and speak your mind. So that you get the best out of yourself and, together with us, make more.
