Vattenfall is one of the largest energy companies in Europe. We generate electricity and heat and supply energy to millions of customers. We do this in Sweden, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Finland, and the Netherlands.

With approximately 21,000 employees, we are making a future possible in which we are less dependent on the use of fossil fuels for our energy. We are at the forefront of the transition to a sustainable energy system. To be able to achieve this ambitious goal, we are looking for talented individuals who, alongside their passion for their own role, also have a strong team spirit and want to contribute to supporting a meaningful corporate mission. 

Do you want to realize technical projects that visibly contribute to the heat supply in the Rotterdam region? As a District Heating Project Manager, you realize heat networks and connections that can provide heat to homes and businesses. You combine technology with stakeholder management and thus make a concrete contribution to the energy transition. There is a way.

What will you do?

As a District Heating Project Manager, you work on multiple heat and cold projects in the Rotterdam and Leiden regions, each in a different phase. From preparation and engineering to execution and delivery: together with the project team, you ensure that plans become reality.

You:

• leads project teams including contractors, work preparers, and supervisors;
• monitors safety, planning, budget, risks, and quality;
• collaborates with municipalities, engineering firms, utility companies, and other stakeholders;
• brings together technical, social, and financial interests;
• identifies bottlenecks early and keeps the client informed of progress and important choices;
• contributes to improvements with which we execute our projects increasingly professionally.

In doing so, you work not only on technical infrastructure but also on projects that have a visible impact on the development of the region.

Location:  
Rotterdam

Do you recognize yourself in the following profile? You maintain an overview of multiple projects and find it interesting to bring technology, planning, and various interests together. You do not need to know every heat concept in detail yet. More importantly, you are curious about the technology and willing to deepen your knowledge in it.
