Job description

Your Work Context

As a Design Engineer at Jan De Nul, you stand at the cradle of complex construction projects on land and at sea. A new complex for F-35 Fighter Jets, a dynamic site for multimedia company VRT or an offshore energy island: you see how your designs become reality and follow them up from tender to delivery. Jan De Nul stands for sustainable, high-quality and innovative construction projects, from A to Z. This includes its own engineering department. For our Design & Engineering department, we are looking for engineers to develop designs and calculations for our various projects.

Your Role

Bridges, water treatment plants, complex buildings, sea walls, breakwaters, land reclamation, quay walls, foundations. In Belgium or elsewhere in the world. You will provide designs and calculations for this diversity of projects. And you monitor whether your designs pass the practical test. You will usually work from our office in Aalst, with occasional homework and certainly the occasional site visit.

Your tasks:

• You will make designs and stability calculations.
• You work together with our CAD-BIM designers, checking and assessing construction drawings.
• You translate customer expectations into feasible designs, check them with our people on site and make adjustments where necessary.
• You provide support and advice to the operational team in case of technical problems.

Of course, you do not do this alone. You work together with other (experienced) design engineers, CAD-BIM designers, the tender team and the team on site. Your project leader supports you every step of the way and you can count on continuous training through our JDN Academy.

What do you need?

• A master's degree in civil engineering.
• An analytical mind with an eye for precision.
• Skills to translate theoretical knowledge into a pragmatic approach, focused on efficiency and feasibility.
