The role
Give direction to the infrastructure of tomorrow
Are you an experienced designer, lead engineer, or design leader ready for a next step? Do you no longer want to just create designs, but also want to influence the choices that determine how projects are ultimately realized?
At KWS, you get that opportunity. As Project Leader Construction Teams & Tenders, known internally as Construction Team Leader, you play a key role in challenging infra projects. From the very first client request to execution, you bring together technology, environment, budget, and collaboration. You work on projects that make a visible difference to the accessibility and livability of the Northern and Eastern Netherlands.
Your challenge
The world of infrastructure is changing rapidly. Clients increasingly expect collaboration, innovation, and integrality. As a result, the focus is shifting from traditional tenders to construction team processes in which the client and contractor work together to reach the best solution.
That is where your strength lies.
You know how to translate design choices into executable solutions. You switch effortlessly between technology, stakeholders, and project interests, ensuring the entire team moves in the same direction. Not because you do everything yourself, but because you maintain an overview and know how to connect people.

You carefully weigh manufacturability, sustainability, risks, and costs.
You maintain contact with clients, engineering firms, and stakeholders.
