Job description

A successful construction project starts long before execution. With smart preparation, for example.

As a Construction Planner, you will contribute to the Oosterweel Link in Antwerp, one of Belgium’s most impressive infrastructure projects. This is anything but an ordinary construction site. You will combine technical expertise, planning and organisation to ensure that complex construction activities are not only well designed, but also practically executable.

You think ahead, identify potential bottlenecks before they become problems, and help ensure a seamless connection between design and execution.

Who are we?

Cordeel is a family-owned company with strong ambitions. We do more than build buildings and infrastructure: we continuously look for ways to work smarter, faster and more sustainably.

For this project, we are part of ROCO, the consortium commissioned by Lantis to deliver the Right Bank section of the Oosterweel Link.

Together with several leading players in the Belgian construction industry, we are working on major infrastructure including the Canal Tunnels and the new, lowered Antwerp Ring Road.

A major technical challenge? Absolutely. And that is exactly why we need you.

What will you do?

• Translate designs into technically feasible and efficient execution plans.
• Analyse construction methods and identify opportunities for optimisation.
• Coordinate closely with design teams, site teams, suppliers and project management.
• Coordinate planning, logistics and the deployment of equipment and resources.
• Request quotations, compare proposals and support the contracting of subcontractors.
• Closely monitor execution, progress, costs and project administration.
• Actively contribute to safety by supporting risk assessments and safety plans.
• Take initiative whenever you see opportunities to make the execution safer, smarter or more efficient.

Who are we looking for?

You have:

• A degree in Civil or Industrial Engineering, specialising in construction, or equivalent experience.
• Experience in civil construction, preferably gained on at least two relevant projects.
• Strong technical and analytical skills.
• The ability to bring structure to a complex project environment.

You are:

• Someone who thinks ahead rather than reacts when problems arise.
• Highly organised and comfortable managing multiple deadlines at the same time.
• A strong communicator who enjoys working across different disciplines.
• Proactive, decisive and solution-oriented.
• A team player who is equally comfortable taking ownership of your own responsibilities.

What can you expect from us?

• A key role in one of Belgium’s largest infrastructure projects.
• An indefinite, fulltime position with a competitive salary package. We offer a variety of fringe benefits.
• Plenty of responsibility and the freedom to contribute ideas on how the works are executed.
• Close collaboration with experienced engineers, project managers and industry specialists.
• An environment where sharing technical knowledge is part of the way we work.
• Training and development opportunities to further expand your expertise.
• The opportunity to work closely with several of Belgium’s leading construction companies.
• And above all: a project you will be able to point to years from now and say, without exaggeration: “I helped build that.”
