Personal and professional growth

Diversity of projects

As a hydrodynamic engineer, you will focus with the team, on the interaction between ship and waves to determine workability. You study the behaviour of ships based on RAOs and translate the complex results into clear, unambiguous overviews for internal and external customers to provide insight into the workability of ships in different wave climates. You work closely with the tender department, project teams and maintain contact with the ship's crew before and during implementation. In this community knowledge is shared and experiences are exchanged. You will also provide innovative solutions where we as a team and Van Oord become even better at our jobs!

Furthermore, you will be involved in:

• Involved in the design and installation aspects of international projects from tender phase to execution;
• Development of safe, efficient and innovative workability-enhancing solutions for our jack-up and floating vessels;
• Managing assignments placed with specialized engineering consultants;
• Follow-up project execution on site;
• Supervising junior/ less experienced colleagues and reviewing their work.
  As Hydrodynamic engineer you will be working in a team of about 20 engineers. Divided over the offices in Rotterdam & Gorinchem. Basically the team works from Gorinchem. We have a young team of engineers who like to go in depth and all build complex models. The seniors we have typically focus on the details as well. Right now, the team needs seniors who can make high-level decisions without knowing all the details.

For this position we are looking for an enthusiastic colleague with practical, analytical, communication and commercial skills. A senior who brings a combination of engineering and offshore experience. In addition, you are willing to travel abroad for follow-up on board our vessels.

• MSc degree in engineering (Mechanical, Offshore, Maritime, Physics);
• At least 3-5 years of relevant experience in the offshore(wind) industry;
• Experience with specialised software such as Ansys AQWA and OrcaFlex;
• Programming skills are required (preferably Python);
• Excellent command of the English language in a technical environment, both written and spoken;

We offer you a position in which you will have an important contribution to our mission 'building a better world for future generations'. In addition, we offer you:

• A salary that matches your responsibilities and experience;
• Travel allowance (€0.31 per km) and home office allowance (€2,15 per day);
• 32 leave days per year;
• Collective health insurance (optional);
• Flexible working from home policy, 2 days a week when working on a full-time basis;
• Extensive learning and (personal) development possibilities, including a wide range of online courses via Goodhabitz;
• You can join communities, like Young Van Oord, Van Oord Women and the Van Oord staff association;
• We organise several (sport) events, e.g. winter sport, weekend of sailing, cycling and a motorcycle tour.

Come on board and also follow us on LinkedIn, Instagram, Vimeo and Facebook!

Acquisition by external agencies is not appreciated.
