Medior Engineer Achterhoek region

Job title: Medior Engineer Achterhoek region
Recruiter: Mark Hietkamp
Vacancy ID: 4579

Are you technically minded and do you want to work on the infrastructure of the future? As a Medior Engineer Underground Infrastructure at Vitens, you play a crucial role in the sustainable and efficient management of our drinking water pipelines. You will work together with internal and external parties on innovative projects. No two days are the same and you contribute to something important: extracting, purifying, and delivering 1 billion liters of top-quality drinking water every single day.

As a Medior Engineer Underground Infrastructure, you are responsible for drinking water-related projects in the Achterhoek region, with Arnhem as your base. You will work together with various internal (technical) departments and external parties such as municipalities, provinces, Rijkswaterstaat, telecom companies, and contractors. Due to our new combination contract, we work more closely with contractors. Your focus lies on monitoring and assessing their activities.

• Working on underground infrastructure projects, from new construction to reconstruction and remediation.
• Applying current design standards within the project frameworks.
• Technical preparation and execution of projects, including the management of internal and external parties.
• Active coordination with contractors, stakeholders, and other interested parties.
• Monitoring safety and quality standards within projects.

VGCO
Within this position, you also fulfill the role of VGCO (Safety and Health Coordinator Design Phase), whereby you are responsible for coordinating and ensuring safety and health throughout the entire project. You ensure that risks are identified early (e.g., via the Project RI&E) and that H&S requirements are structurally incorporated into the design and project documentation, and are tested and updated throughout the process. In doing so, the emphasis lies on control and cohesion: you monitor the coordination between disciplines, encourage involved parties to fulfill their H&S responsibilities, and ensure that the right expertise is involved. Substantive testing and specialist H&S knowledge lie with H&S specialists where necessary, whom you actively involve and deploy. Finally, you ensure a complete and careful transfer of H&S documents to the execution phase and management, so that safety remains guaranteed in all phases of the project. As an Engineer, you strengthen the Achterhoek regional team within the Design & Construction department. The team consists of project managers, engineers, and project staff.

We are especially curious about who you are and what you can do. It is important that you are yourself and bring a proactive, flexible attitude. Additionally, you possess:

• Preferably a technical MBO-4 diploma (or higher).
• Experience with underground infrastructure and drinking water projects.
• Good communication and analytical skills.
• Experience with project-based working is a plus.
