You will be the leading figure in technical management: challenging execution methods, driving continuous improvement, and ensuring that every technical decision supports DEME’s long‑term mission and strategic direction.

If you’re a technically skilled maritime professional who thrives on responsibility, collaboration, and innovation, your next career adventure might start here.

While the company's roots are in Belgium, DEME has built a strong presence in all of the world's seas and continents, operating in more than 90 countries worldwide.

In an operational environment with an involvement in complex contract structures, with high expectations from clients and with increasing regulatory restrictions from authorities, DEME is looking for a Contract Manager to strengthen its Contract Management Division.

As a Contract Manager, you will provide support on a project‑related basis and from a contractual‑technical perspective, in executing the contracts DEME has entered into with clients or main contractors and the subcontracts and supply agreements thereunder.

As a Crew Administrator, you will deliver crewing related administrative support to the entire Crew Team.

As an Operational Buyer, you are responsible for the full Request‑to‑Pay (R2P) cycle within your assigned purchasing categories.

Acting as a key link between internal stakeholders and suppliers, you contribute to optimizing total cost of ownership and ensuring compliance with procurement procedures.

As a Project Controls Engineer, you will provide support for a project from contract award up to close. You are the one that plans the work and keeps an overview of the overall progress. Implementing tools and processes challenge you and you make sure that this implementation goes smoothly.

Thinking out of the box and using innovative ways to improve the business processes are key elements in this job.

At DEME we strive to have sound project management capabilities and systems that can develop and deliver projects successfully, time and time again and without waste.

The Project Manager Fleet Interventions is responsible for the end‑to‑end execution of the scope of work for a vessel intervention period (maintenance, repair, mobilisation, conversion, installation of mission equipment, ..) and redelivery. This role ensures that all projects are completed on time, within budget, and according to stringent quality and safety standards, while also obtaining high vessel performance and reliability post‑redelivery.
