Requirements

What we're looking for

Within the O&C department, we are working hard on the further development of our way of working and collaboration. Therefore, we are looking for a Senior Project Manager who not only masters projects but also advances people and teams. You look beyond the daily operations, identify opportunities for improvement, and take the initiative to organize processes more smartly and effectively, without making concessions to quality, safety, or collaboration. In doing so, you understand that sustainable change requires time and you know how to bring people along with you. You are strong in content and a natural connector. Colleagues know how to find you as a sparring partner and coach. You are visible within the team, provide feedback in a respectful manner, and are also open to feedback from others. Precisely when interests diverge, you bring calm, structure, and direction. You stimulate ownership, address colleagues where necessary, and lead by example. For you, the senior role is not a job title, but a way of working. Additionally, you have at least three years of experience as a project manager, preferably within underground infrastructure or a similar technical environment. You are analytically strong, work in a structured manner, and know how to maintain an overview in complex projects. With your coaching style, organizational sensitivity, and decisiveness, you make an important contribution to the development of both the team and the collaboration with our internal and external partners.

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

As a Senior Project Manager, you will strengthen our team for a minimum of 32 hours and a maximum of 40 hours per week. For this, you can count on the following employment conditions (based on 40 hours per week):

  • A salary of up to €5,948.00 gross per month (scale 10, in accordance with CAO as of January 1, 2027). Additionally, you will receive a Flexible Benefits Budget (FAB) of 16.51% on top of your salary. This budget includes, among other things, your holiday allowance and year-end bonus.
  • 31.5 vacation days per year.
  • Personal advice budget of € 1,000.- and ample training opportunities.
  • Good work-life balance and growth opportunities within Vitens.
  • Through Vitens Vitaal, you as an employee receive free access to a wide range of health solutions via Zilveren Kruis, tailored to your personal needs, with an annual personal budget of up to €500, regardless of where you are insured.

The role

Do you want to use your talent for a sustainable and future-proof drinking water supply?
