Assistant Site Manager DBO-contract

As an Assistant Site Manager, you support the Site Manager in the daily organization of activities within our maintenance contract in Zuid-Holland Zuid. You will be found outdoors frequently, keeping an eye on developments together with your colleagues, and ensuring that work is well-prepared and executed.

With us, you will be given the space to further learn the profession of Site Manager. You will work closely with experienced colleagues, take on increasing responsibility, and thus grow step by step within operations. Our motto is not for nothing: Samen uit, samen thuis.

Together with the Site Manager and the rest of the project team, you assess the state of our area daily. You will examine which tasks are necessary and ensure they are properly addressed. In doing so, you contribute to roads, greenery, and other objects in the public space remaining safe, tidy, and in good condition.

As an Assistant Site Manager, you support the Site Manager in the daily management of our skilled workers and subcontractors. You assist in distributing and planning the work, monitor progress, and coordinate with the work preparers and technical manager.

You will not only be found in the office. It is precisely outdoors, on-site, that you see what is happening and what is needed. You check whether work is carried out according to agreement, identify bottlenecks, and discuss these with the Site Manager. You also assist with reporting and the administrative handling of the work.

Many tasks are carried out using traffic measures. Safe working and clear agreements are therefore important. Everyone must know what is expected of him or her, and you help the Site Manager to organize this well on a daily basis.

As you gain more experience, you will receive more space to supervise tasks independently. This allows you to develop within the project into a Site Manager who can eventually manage tasks and crews independently.

You will be working within the DBO Zuid-Holland Zuid project team, with Numansdorp as the project location. The project includes roads and related objects in the Zuid-Holland Zuid region. For a period of ten years, we provide the daily management and maintenance of, among other things, roads, greenery, and road-related objects.

The project team consists of, among others, a project leader/contract manager, technical manager, maintenance engineer, work preparers, and site managers. So, you are not alone. There is a wealth of knowledge available within the team, which we also use to help you further your development.

We work with asset management and the PDCA cycle to continuously improve our work. At the same time, we like to keep things practical. We work hard, help each other when necessary, and there is always room for humor.

Gebr. Van Kessel is an informal company with short lines of communication. You can easily walk in on colleagues and ask questions. This also makes this position interesting if you already have experience in operations but want to take the next step towards an independent role as a Site Manager.

For this position, we are looking for someone who enjoys working outdoors, dares to take responsibility, and can maintain an overview. You don't need to know everything yet.

Furthermore:

• Ideally, you have completed a technical or green MBO education;

• You have an affinity with civil engineering, infrastructure, maintenance, or greenery;

• Experience in operations is a plus, but you do not need to be an experienced Site Manager yet;

• You can collaborate well and dare to address colleagues when necessary;

• You have a good command of the Dutch language, both spoken and written;

• You are willing to follow additional courses and training;

• You have a driving license B;

• Ideally, you live in the Zuid-Holland region, fitting our project location in Numansdorp.

When you come to work at Gebr. Van Kessel, you step into the world of civil engineering and integrated maintenance. You will get plenty of space to learn the profession in practice and to further develop yourself. In doing so, you will work together with experienced colleagues who will guide you in the work.
