Project Manager

Waterbouw

Act as the vital link between work preparation, execution, engineering, suppliers, subcontractors, and clients, and lead every project to a successful completion.

De Klerk Werkendam is one of the leading names in Dutch structural hydraulic engineering. While our roots lie in traditional dredging, sinking, and stone dumping-work we still perform with great pride-we have evolved into a specialist in complex hydraulic projects, ranging from quays and fendering to bridges, locks, and bank protection. We are a close-knit family business where every voice matters, colleagues support one another, and long-term career prospects are a priority. You will work alongside true specialists who take pride in their craft and are eager to share their technical expertise with you.

Your Role

As a Project Manager in Hydraulic Engineering, you are responsible for the successful delivery of our projects. You provide structure, maintain oversight, and ensure progress, working closely with engineering, site operations, design teams, suppliers, subcontractors, and clients. You act as the central point of contact, providing direction and maintaining clear communication throughout the project lifecycle. You manage progress, handle changes, and ensure expectations are aligned. Furthermore, you oversee the financial health of the project, monitor costs, prepare forecasts, and ensure the project remains within its defined scope. Whether you are on-site, at a client's office, or at our headquarters in Werkendam, you take full ownership of the final result.

• Working on and around the water with experienced colleagues in a strong, down-to-earth team.

What we are looking for

• A completed Bachelor's degree (HBO), preferably in Civil Engineering.
• Experience as a project manager or in a similar role within hydraulic engineering is a plus.
• Strong technical insight and excellent planning, organizational, and oversight skills.
• Effective communication skills, a pragmatic mindset, and a strong sense of responsibility.
