The role

You oversee the big picture and manage the details.

As an electrical engineering project leader, you lead challenging utility projects from A to Z. You are the pivot between the client, the team, and the technology. With your overview, technical knowledge, and decisiveness, you ensure that everything runs smoothly: from preparation to delivery. This is how you make an impact on buildings and on people. Within our SPO department (short-term projects), you work on renovations, refurbishments, and sustainability projects in utility construction. Think of healthcare institutions, schools, and offices. You are responsible for multiple projects simultaneously (averaging 3 to 6 months) and switch effortlessly between work preparation, execution, and client contact. You ensure tight planning, monitor the budget, lead your team, and maintain high quality. And when necessary, you intervene. This is how you maintain both the overview and the momentum.

What you'll do

What you will be doing in this role:

You start the week with a project meeting: you discuss the planning, progress, and technical bottlenecks with your team.
You manage multiple projects simultaneously, from preparation through to delivery.
You monitor planning, budget, safety, and quality - and maintain control over the progress.
You are the primary point of contact for clients: you think along, solve problems, and advise on technical solutions and sustainability.
You communicate daily with work preparers, technicians, suppliers, and fellow project leaders.
You think ahead, see opportunities for improvement, and ensure a streamlined process.

You bring structure, leadership, and technical knowledge
You feel at home in technology and in the role of organizer. You maintain an overview, set priorities, and know how to bring people along. You switch easily between both clients and colleagues and get energy from projects that run well, without surprises.

This is what we find important

Together we work on complex technical projects. Only the best is good enough and this is what we have in common: responsibility, pride, respect, commitment, an eye for quality and a heart for teamwork. Your pleasant way of working makes every project a success.

To be able to do this well, it is important that you possess the right background, experience, and attitude. Do you recognize yourself in the following profile?

This is what ITN offers you

A good salary and excellent conditions; that is a matter of course for us. But perhaps even more importantly: you will join a committed, medium-sized family business where people truly stand ready for one another. We work hard, keep lines short, and celebrate our successes together. For years, we have been a healthy, profitable company with an eye for quality and our people.

We invest in your growth. Whether you are looking for professional depth, want to learn new techniques, or want to develop your soft skills. At ITN, you get the space for that. And besides work? There is time for relaxation with colleagues: from Friday afternoon drinks to the annual BBQ, the Sinterklaas celebration, or our spectacular Kick-off party.
