As a Wellpoint Dewatering Project Leader at Van Kessel Bronbemaling, you are responsible for the successful realization of diverse dewatering projects. From our branch in Buren, you will primarily work on projects in the southern half of the Netherlands, ranging from relatively compact dewatering to complex infrastructural projects with major technical and organizational challenges.

You will receive a great deal of freedom to organize your projects yourself, communicate directly with clients, and manage quality, planning, safety, and financial results. In doing so, you will work together with experienced site managers, work preparers, and specialists within an organization that has held a strong position in the wellpoint dewatering market for many years.

You are the first point of contact for the client and know exactly what is happening on a project. Together with the work preparation and execution teams, you determine the right approach, monitor progress and results, and adjust where necessary. You also look beyond just the ongoing project: you identify commercial opportunities, build sustainable customer relationships, and contribute to the further development of Van Kessel Bronbemaling.

What you will concretely do:

• You lead multiple wellpoint dewatering projects from preparation to delivery;

• You manage site managers and project teams and monitor planning, quality, safety, and finances;

• You maintain contact with clients, suppliers, subcontractors, and other stakeholders;
