Chief Site Manager Grevelingensluis

What if you are the engine behind the daily progress at the Grevelingen lock? You combine on-site management with sharp organization and foresight. With overview and decisiveness, you adjust where necessary and deliver visible results on a technically complex project that keeps the Netherlands safe and accessible.

• Leading site managers, teams, and subcontractors and ensuring a well-organized execution.
• Monitoring progress, costs, and quality and making timely adjustments where necessary.
• Bearing ultimate responsibility for safety, health, environment, and quality on the construction site.
• Identifying bottlenecks and interfaces and ensuring appropriate solutions within the project and the broader portfolio.

As Lead Site Manager on the Grevelingen lock project, you work on a technically complex renovation project within existing infrastructure. You are involved in the large-scale renovation of a portfolio of important hydraulic engineering structures in Zeeland, carried out on behalf of Rijkswaterstaat. Following the Grevelingen lock are the Roompot lock, Bergse Diep lock, and an object to be determined. The focus lies on renovating the lock gates and bridges and renewing technical installations for operation, control, and monitoring. Thanks to the two-phase approach, you already contribute ideas regarding manufacturability and execution methodology during the design phase and organize the execution to be safe, efficient, and well-organized from the start.

In this role, you have a great deal of influence on the execution. Depending on the project phase, you manage a varying group of approximately 2 to 7 colleagues and serve as the first point of contact on the construction site. In addition, you are in close contact with clients, environmental parties, suppliers, and subcontractors, and you monitor the cohesion between disciplines, planning, and execution.

You are the connecting link within the project and guide the technology from design to execution. With your proactive and result-oriented attitude, you maintain oversight, provide structure, and ensure that technology, people, and processes align seamlessly.

• A HBO (Higher Professional Education) degree in the field of civil engineering, infra, or GWW (earthworks, water management, and road construction).
• At least 10 years of relevant experience within infrastructure, with a background in civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or similar, and several years of experience as a (lead) site manager.
• Knowledge of contract forms such as RAW, UAV(-GC), and construction teams.
