In short
A diverse range of tasks, a lot of responsibility, and a self-managing team. Is that what you, as a Senior Civil Engineering Site Manager, are looking for? Then you don't need to look any further. Due to the retirement of one of our experienced colleagues, there is space for a new senior site manager within KWS Infra Rotterdam-Zwijndrecht. A leader who knows how to get the best out of the team, the project, and themselves. Going out together, coming home together, and helping each other are important core values within our organization. Do you recognize yourself in this? Then we would love to get in touch with you.

Your job
As a Senior Site Manager for Infra and Civil Engineering, you will receive a lot of freedom and responsibility. You will be empowered by the project manager and given the space not only to successfully realize projects, but also to further develop yourself as a leader within infrastructure.
You are responsible for the daily management of infrastructure projects and ensure that everything on and around the project runs smoothly. You monitor the planning, lead foremen, skilled workers, and subcontractors, work closely with work preparers and project managers, and maintain control over the financial progress of your projects. Additionally, you ensure that everyone works safely and you actively contribute to maintaining and expanding our network of clients and collaborative partners.
As a senior site manager, you possess a proactive attitude and can deal excellently with freedom and independence. You make daily decisions regarding the deployment of people, equipment, and subcontractors, and you know how to motivate teams to deliver the best results. Talent development plays an important role in this. You encourage colleagues to develop themselves and help them to get the best out of themselves and the project.
Together with the project manager and work preparers, you form the hub of the project team. You ensure that projects are realized safely, with high quality, and within schedule. When necessary, you provide the operations manager with the correct project information and management information.
In your role, you are responsible for infrastructure projects with a scope of €2 million to €80 million. Depending on the size and complexity, you will work on one large project or manage multiple projects simultaneously. Your base is primarily at the project locations, but you are also regularly present at our office in Zwijndrecht for consultation with operations management, tender management, and colleagues.
As one of the largest road construction companies in the Netherlands, we believe in the power of regional working. Because of this, we know our clients, we know what is happening in the region, and we can act quickly. Our working area is primarily located in the South Holland region and includes projects within road construction, infrastructure, and public space.
Our projects vary from the reconstruction of residential areas and large-scale asphalt maintenance to complex integrated infrastructure works. Think of leading projects such as the CER track at the Maasvlakte, the Roseknoop in Rotterdam, the IJsselmondseknoop, the expansion of the Rotterdam World Gateway (RWG), the Lange Gracht in Leiden, the Veenpoldersweg in Stompwijk, and various maintenance contracts for the Hollandse Delta Water Board and the Port of Rotterdam.
