We play Champions League at KWS @vice, and you don't win that by continuing to do what you've always done. With us, you get a role where you have direct influence on the tender strategy and processes. And the best part; with us, it doesn't stop after the tender phase, but you also follow your MEAT plan into the realization phase and see your strategy come to life.

Your job
In what kind of organization and team will you be working? This seems to me a much more important question than me telling you the technical details that you will analyze the assessment methodology, organize brainstorming sessions, and engage in dialogue with both the client and your team to determine the winning strategy and draw up the winning plan. Because as a specialist, you already know all of this.

From your role as senior MEAT coordinator, you participate in the core team. During the initial setup phase, you are closely involved in assembling the right integrated team. As a result, your input has an immediate impact on the project strategy, MEAT measures, and feasibility. During the tender phase, you are involved in all integrated decisions as a core member. Because you work at KWS, you also follow your MEAT plan in the realization phase. During this, you visit project locations and collect VPIs. This helps us in drawing up future plans.

Depending on the MEAT requirements, you guide the team of MEAT coordinators during the tender and contribute to their development. Additionally, you are involved in creating plans more intelligently and with higher quality. Think of the use of AI or streamlining tender processes.

The focus of KWS @vice lies on complex procurement processes with a financial scale between 50 and 500 million. This gives you the opportunity to take on a wide range of tenders, from medium-sized to large national tenders. We do this within four segments, namely: construction and reconstruction, dike reinforcements, renovation of steel bridges, and major asphalt maintenance. These tenders can be both mono- and multidisciplinary, where the client's requirements are central. Consequently, the tenders differ in content, approach, contract form (UAV, UAV-GC, D&C, E&C or construction team) and complexity. Examples of leading won projects are Groot Onderhoud Noord‑Nederland West (asphalt and structures), the realization of the RDW test track in Marknesse, Zuidasdok tunnels, replacement and renovation of structures on the A44, Leidsche Ring Noord, and expansion of the RWG Terminal.

Your qualities
As a person, we hope that you are a bit headstrong and outgoing, and that you do not shy away from a robust discussion in a respectful manner. Due to your personality and experience, you also have a clear vision of how processes can run more easily and efficiently, and you certainly want to contribute to this. Well, that works out perfectly, because Bert, our MEAT manager, is just the same. He looks forward to sparring with you about this and gives you the space to get to work on it. Furthermore:
