Project Leader

• As a Project Leader, you lead large, complex infrastructure projects, thereby contributing to accelerating the energy transition.
• In this role, you take control of the impact on the site and work closely with various external parties, stakeholders, and a large diversity of colleagues.

The energy transition ensures that grid operators will have an enormous workload in the coming decades. We need everyone to be able to accomplish this work, both internally and with our partners and stakeholders. We are looking for a project leader who knows how to turn plans into action, who maintains an overview of complex projects, and who engages with various internal and external parties.

At the Brabant Midden site, we have a 'large projects team', in which a small group of (senior) engineers prepares large, complex projects together with contractors. Part of the work consists of PIMS-D and the link to the site work of the PILS and PIMS projects, which requires collaboration with the internal Production Lines department. The rest of the work package consists of large, complex site projects. The lead time of these projects is substantial, as are the budgets associated with them. There is frequent contact with our contracted contractors and, depending on what the project requires, with other internal and external parties.

Our engineers are the trailblazers of the projects; the project leader maintains an overview and relieves the engineers of various complex issues involving external parties and stakeholders (for example, customers, local and provincial governments, contractors, other utility companies, interest groups, and industry peers). The project leader monitors the (financial) progress of the projects and reports on this monthly. In doing so, you adopt a proactive attitude and look for ways to work smarter. In this, you know how to bring other organizational units along, so that together we accelerate the energy transition. In addition to the issues within the large projects team, your help may also be requested by other engineers or team managers facing larger issues. Think, for example, of a procurement process or stakeholder management where you can provide support.

These are your responsibilities

• Key position between the site activities (reactive) and the work package of the Production Lines (proactive) and the various clients, including AsM.
• On behalf of the site, coordinating activities at the 150 kV station (ongoing projects, but also the relationship with future projects, approach routes, etc.). Incl. representing interests in the design of 150 kV stations. This can be an expansion, but also during the design and realization of a new 150 kV station.
• Maintaining an overview and relieving engineers of issues from internal stakeholders, AsM, EBS, WFM, EO, and external stakeholders such as private landowners, large customers, and (semi-)public parties (e.g., municipalities, water boards, province, Tennet, ProRail, Rijkswaterstaat, etc.).
• Support with long-term permitting processes, for example, for the placement of transport distribution stations (TV(R)S). For this, you have contact with the Energy System and Environment department.
• Guiding procurement processes between E&A and Purchasing.
• Progress meetings AsM/WFM
• Within the large projects team, you fulfill the role of chairperson for the projects in which you are involved.
• Technical support for the engineers
• Assessing/approving Production Lines preparation
• Monitoring and reporting on the (financial) progress of the projects
