Job description

As a Maintenance Engineer within Asset Management, you prepare maintenance activities for infrastructure assets in and around the water environment, analyse their technical condition, and continuously improve maintenance plans. You translate our clients’ maintenance requirements into practical and executable plans.

By assessing the technical condition of assets, you determine the maintenance activities required. You develop maintenance plans and cost analyses that support well-informed decision-making. Working closely with colleagues and other stakeholders, you help ensure that our infrastructure remains safe, reliable, and ready for the future.

You enjoy tackling technical challenges and approach your work in an analytical and structured way. You are able to translate complex information into clear recommendations and know how to engage different stakeholders in your proposals. You enjoy collaborating with colleagues, learning from others, and continuously looking for opportunities to improve maintenance practices and processes.

In addition, you bring:

• A completed MBO level 4 qualification combined with several years of relevant work experience, or a completed HBO (Bachelor's) degree;
• An educational background in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Maritime Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field;
• An affinity for maintenance management and asset management;
• Experience with, or interest in, maintenance management systems;
• Experience with Ultimo is considered an advantage;
• Experience with infrastructure assets in or around the water environment is considered an advantage.

At Van Oord Asset Management, you will have the opportunity to work in an international and dynamic organisation where you can develop both professionally and personally. You will join a committed team and contribute to challenging projects in the Dutch market.

In addition, we offer:

• A competitive salary and attractive employment benefits;
• A variable bonus scheme;
• 32 vacation days (based on a full-time employment contract);
• An excellent pension scheme;
• Flexible working arrangements where the role allows;
• Extensive learning and development opportunities through our in-house training and development programmes;
• An informal and collaborative working environment with plenty of room for initiative and personal responsibility.

You contribute to the maintenance of critical infrastructure assets, including bridges, pumping stations, and locks along the Lek, Maas, and Waal rivers, the Afsluitdijk, and assets located in the Dutch floodplains (Uiterwaarden). Using your technical expertise and analytical skills, you determine what maintenance activities are required and when they should be carried out.

You advise both internal and external stakeholders on the most effective maintenance approach. Your analyses enable teams to make well-founded decisions and organise maintenance activities efficiently. Together with your colleagues, you translate complex maintenance challenges into clear plans and tangible results. You will be responsible for:

• Analysing the technical condition of infrastructure assets and determining maintenance requirements;
• Developing and optimising maintenance plans based on client requirements and available data;
• Preparing cost analyses to support maintenance-related decision-making;
• Using maintenance management systems, such as Ultimo, to plan, manage, and monitor maintenance activities;
• Advising internal and external stakeholders on maintenance solutions and opportunities for process improvement.

YOUR WORKING ENVIRONMENT

You will become part of a close-knit Maintenance team consisting of four colleagues. Together with the Tender Management, Project Management, and Process Management teams, you will be part of the Asset Management department. Through collaboration across different disciplines, you will share knowledge, learn from others, and contribute to a wide variety of infrastructure projects.

You will regularly work from our office in Gorinchem.
