Your range of tasks is broad and varied and can include cost advice in tenders as well as in (construction team) projects.

In doing so, you constantly keep an eye on where risks and opportunities lie within the project and advise on these. With this, you make an extremely useful contribution to tenders and projects and, together with your colleagues, you provide the foundation of our healthy company.

About Dura Vermeer

In their own words

About the company & team

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 are among 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 to home—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.

You will be working at an ambitious family business in a young and driven estimation team. In this team, you can always count on excellent guidance and development opportunities. Our culture is characterized by safe working, a pleasant working atmosphere, and an open attitude where everyone dares to address one another. There is a lot of interaction between disciplines and colleagues. You will work on projects such as the Tiel Waardenburg dike reinforcement, the renovation of Nijmegen station, the construction of the extension and widening of the A15, and projects that contribute to the energy transition.
