Descrizione del lavoro

Lead the engineering of complex technical systems for high-end superyachts

Are you an experienced Mechanical Engineer who is ready to combine technical responsibility with project leadership? For a leading international superyacht builder, we are looking for a Project Lead Mechanical Engineering.

In this position, you will lead challenging mechanical engineering projects for unique, fully customised superyachts. You will be responsible for the engineering of the technical systems on board and ensure that design, planning, budget, suppliers and production remain aligned throughout the project.

Every yacht is different. This means technically complex projects, short communication lines and plenty of opportunity to apply your engineering knowledge and leadership skills.

What will you do?

As Project Lead, you will coordinate an engineering team and manage the complete mechanical engineering scope within a yacht-building project.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Coordinating the engineering of engine rooms and other technical spaces;
• Supervising the engineering of propulsion systems, piping systems and other onboard technical installations;
• Ensuring the technical integration of systems within the luxury accommodation areas;
• Distributing and monitoring activities within the engineering team;
• Safeguarding the technical quality and manufacturability of the designs;
• Monitoring project planning, engineering budgets and overall progress;
• Ensuring that technical information and production drawings are available to Production and Procurement on time;
• Coordinating technical solutions with other engineering disciplines;
• Managing suppliers and verifying that systems and materials are delivered according to specification and schedule;
• Coordinating and monitoring technical approvals from the relevant authorities;
• Resolving technical issues during both the engineering and production phases;
• Remaining involved throughout the full project lifecycle, from initial engineering through to delivery of the yacht.

You will work closely with engineers, production teams, procurement specialists, suppliers and other engineering disciplines. As engineering and production are located close to one another, you will be able to see your designs come to life.

What do you bring?

You have a strong technical background, maintain a clear overview and know how to guide a team in a supportive and professional manner. You feel comfortable in an environment where quality, planning and custom engineering are essential.

You also bring:

• A completed bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Maritime Engineering or a comparable technical discipline;
• At least three years of relevant work experience;
• Experience leading or coordinating mechanical engineering projects;
• Broad knowledge of mechanical installations and technical systems;
• Knowledge of project management, planning, progress monitoring and budget control;
• Strong analytical and organisational skills;
• An independent, structured and result-oriented working style;
• Strong communication and coaching skills;
• A good command of the English language.

Experience within shipbuilding, yacht building, offshore engineering or a comparable project-driven technical environment is considered a strong advantage.

What can you expect?

You will join an internationally operating and technically advanced organisation, working on unique projects where craftsmanship, innovation and quality come together.

The employment package includes:

• A gross monthly salary between €4,451 and €6,100, depending on knowledge and experience;
• A position for 32 to 40 hours per week;
• 40 days off per year based on full-time employment, consisting of 27 vacation days and 13 additional days off;
• A travel allowance of €0.23 per kilometre, starting from five kilometres one way;
• An annual profit-sharing payment;
• A solid pension scheme through PME;
• A contribution towards a corporate fitness membership;
• Access to collective health insurance and other group insurance schemes;
• Extensive training and personal development opportunities;
• An active employee association that regularly organises social activities;
• Attractive employment conditions in accordance with the Dutch Metalektro collective labour agreement.
