At De Vries Scheepsbouw Makkum, the jewel of the Frisian economy, we build exceptional Feadships - world-class yachts, fully customized and finished to perfection. From our modern shipyard on the IJsselmeer, we proudly work on projects up to 120 meters. Every detail counts, and everyone's craftsmanship contributes to the final result. Together, we realize yachts that garner admiration worldwide - that is your contribution to the construction of a Feadship.

Together with the New Build Project Manager, you will be the face of our shipyard in Makkum towards the owner's team during the construction of a new, unique Feadship yacht.

Together with the entire project team—Technical Manager, Interior Manager, Exterior Manager, Controller, Planner, Purchaser, and Construction Coordinator, and with the Project Assistant as a constant value—you will monitor the entire process, from the initial design by the Naval Architects through to delivery. Your mission: to deliver a Feadship, but above all, to make their dream a reality.

Specifically, you will be involved in:
• Monitoring the budget, planning, and quality of the construction project;
• Managing all construction-related risks;
• Maintaining intensive contact with the owner's team and designers and translating their wishes into a manufacturable and feasible design;
• Collaborating with the Engineering department during the design phase;
• Collaborating with the shell builder during the shell construction phase;
• Collaborating with production departments, subcontractors, and co-builders during the outfitting phase;
• Successfully managing all involved parties.
