Project Engineer Maritime

Job description

A design only becomes a success when every detail is right. As a Project Engineer, you play a central role in our maritime projects. You are the linchpin connecting technology, planning and communication.

You will work in multidisciplinary project teams on assignments across various markets, such as:

• the modernisation of the Royal Netherlands Navy’s Walrus-class submarines
• the integration of a new 127mm naval gun on HNLMS Evertsen
• the life extension of the Indonesian vessel KRI Usman Harun
• the design of FPSOs

You coordinate the design and engineering process for these projects, engage in technical discussions with the client and ensure that agreements and specifications are clearly understood by all stakeholders involved.

You monitor and identify interfaces between disciplines, organise design reviews and oversee the proper execution of Interdisciplinary Checks (IDCs). You draw up and manage the document list, ensuring all documentation remains complete and up to date. At the same time, you closely monitor budgets and timelines, making adjustments where necessary to meet project deadlines. With your experience and overview, you bring technical solutions, schedules and budgets together to deliver successful project outcomes.

You will join the Project Management team within Nevesbu (part of Iv), consisting of around seven colleagues. In this role, you will enjoy a high degree of autonomy and freedom to organise your work and collaboration in a smart and efficient manner. Within each project, you report to the Project Manager and work closely with engineers, specialists and project controllers across the organisation. Within the Project Management department, you report to the Manager of Projects.

What do we expect from you?

We expect you to have:

• a completed higher professional (HBO) or university (WO) degree in Maritime Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a comparable technical field
• at least 3 to 5 years of experience as a Project Engineer or in a similar role within maritime or technical projects
• strong technical skills and the ability to manage projects from start to finish

It is an advantage if you have:

• certification in project management methodologies such as IPMA and/or PRINCE2

In addition, you:

• have strong communication skills and a clear sense for collaboration in an international environment
• are proficient in both Dutch and English

The current location is Alblasserdam; however, Nevesbu will relocate to Rotterdam (Admiraliteitskade 62, 3063 ED) in March 2026.

This is working at Iv – what do we have to offer you?
