In short
As a Site Preparer, you are indispensable! From the design phase to execution, you ensure that everything is prepared and runs smoothly. As a site preparer, you play a very important role in the realization of our RWG Terminal project, with attention to KWS's sustainability ambitions.

This is what you will do
As a Civil Engineering and Infrastructure Site Preparer, you are the point of contact for the project manager and site manager, ensuring that everyone can work optimally. One day you are drawing up a schedule and maintaining project administration; the next day you are checking materials and handling procurement. Additionally, you independently write work plans, prepare estimates for extra and reduced work, and closely monitor deviations, risks, and changes within the project. You also maintain intensive contact with suppliers, subcontractors, and other project partners.
Furthermore, you hold an important role regarding safety, quality, and progress. You identify risks, think in solutions, and raise the alarm when situations demand it. Thanks to your preparation, our execution teams can work efficiently, safely, and according to schedule.
In your role, you work much independently and are able to make decisions regarding, among other things, the planning, working methods, and organization of the project. Together with the Site Manager and Project Manager, you take on calculation tasks where necessary and assist with cost price calculations and project optimizations. You are also able to sit at the table independently with clients and stakeholders.
You perform your duties partly from our office in Zwijndrecht and partly at one of the most leading infrastructural projects at this moment: the RWG Terminal on the Maasvlakte. Here, you will work on the further development of one of the most modern container terminals in Europe.
As one of the largest road builders in the Netherlands, we believe that regional involvement leads to better projects and satisfied clients. Our working area is primarily located in Zuid-Holland. The average project size is around €2 million, but in addition, we also work on medium and large infrastructural projects between €5 and €15 million, often executed under UAV-GC contracts.
The projects are very diverse. From a local reconstruction of a residential area to complex infrastructure projects in the Rotterdam port area. Well-known projects we have worked on include the CER track on the Maasvlakte, the Roseknoop in Rotterdam, the IJsselmondseknoop, the RWG Terminal, the Lange Gracht in Leiden, the Veenpoldersweg in Stompwijk, and asphalt maintenance for Waterschap Hollandse Delta and the Port of Rotterdam.
Because of this, as an Infrastructure Site Preparer, you get the chance to work on projects that make Zuid-Holland safer, more sustainable, and more accessible.

Your qualities
As a person, you are someone who enjoys being in the middle of the action. A professional meddler, so to speak, because you know a little bit about everything. You work independently, but you are also certainly a team player who enjoys helping colleagues to develop further and learning from each other. You do this from a structured approach. You are also proactive and result-oriented, but also certainly money-conscious. Furthermore, you have:
