Your main tasks include:

Project Planning & Execution

• Deliver client contractual obligations where reasonable and within control, while tracking project performance against contracts.
• Review and monitor the project DPR, identifying and addressing any contractual disagreements.

Risk Management & Continuous Improvement

• Identify, assess, and manage potential risks to project success.
• Capture and disseminate best practices across projects, vessels, and departments.
• Ensure WIV personnel, shore base, and management are informed about upcoming projects.
• Contribute to Cadeler’s management system and drive process improvements across operations.

To succeed in this role:

Being part of the Cadeler community means you will have a natural interest and care for the environment and our shared mission to speed up the green energy transition. Your environmental considerations and the safety of our people and the planet will be a key priority in your daily work.

We think you will be a strong match if you bring the following:

• Educational & Technical Background: A BSc or MSc in engineering or a related technical field, giving you a solid foundation to navigate complex offshore projects.
• Extensive Industry Experience: At least 7 years of hands‑on experience in offshore wind, oil & gas, large‑scale infrastructure, or similarly complex project environments—ideally with a strong track record in leading project scopes end‑to‑end.
• Communication & Digital Fluency: Excellent command of English, both written and spoken, and confident use of digital tools including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint to communicate clearly and effectively across stakeholders.
• Project & Commercial Acumen: Demonstrated experience with procurement processes, budget ownership, and contract interfaces. APM, PMI PMP, or similar certifications are a strong advantage.
