• You draft project applications and, together with other project managers and stakeholders, define the project organization and ensure the availability of the necessary resources.
• You support colleagues from maintenance and construction, as well as their contractors, during project implementation.
• You further develop expertise in our specific asset types and commonly used materials and contribute to the development of up‑to‑date and improved standards and typicals.

• You are able to evaluate, track, and actively mitigate risks.

• You are willing to commit to a long-term career in power supply infrastructure and are motivated to continuously develop your knowledge and expertise through on-the-job training.
• You are fluent in Dutch and English, and have a good knowledge of German or are willing to learn it.
