Team Lead Project Engineering
Omgeving Rotterdam
What will you be doing?
For over half a century, this organization in Heavy Lift Transportation and Offshore Installation has been redefining what’s possible at sea. Their vessels are legendary, their engineering unmatched, and their culture? Hands-on, no-nonsense, and built on trust.
Now, they’re looking for a Team Lead Project Engineering. Not someone who just manages spreadsheets, but someone who knows what a well-executed offshore project feels like – someone who’s been on deck, in the trenches, and has the scars (and stories) to prove it.
What you’ll be lifting
- Lead a multi-disciplinary team of 25+ professionals – including structural, marine, and project engineers.
- Be the technical anchor across offshore tenders and projects – from kickoff to completion.
- Oversee outsourced engineering work and ensure top-notch delivery under pressure.
- Coordinate between departments and stakeholders to make sure nothing falls overboard.
- Report directly to the Manager Engineering and play a central role in project execution.
What you bring to the table:
- A BSc/MSc in Mechanical Engineering, Naval Architecture, or something in that league.
- 8+ years of relevant offshore experience, with at least 5 years in a leading or coaching position.
- A background in Transport & Installation (T&I) – preferably with real execution exposure.
- Solid with Method Statements, subcontracted engineering, and guiding junior talent.
- A builder of multidisciplinary project teams who knows the operational reality offshore.
- Fluent in English (Dutch is a bonus, not a dealbreaker).
Where will you be working?
You’ll be based at the company’s headquarters in the Rotterdam area – a modern, collaborative environment where engineers, project managers, and technical specialists work side by side. It’s a place where decisions are made fast, creativity is valued, and egos are left at the door. Expect short lines, open minds, and a team that knows when to push and when to laugh. You’ll be surrounded by people who speak the same technical language – and challenge each other to raise the bar, every single day.
What’s in it for you?
- An opportunity to work at an industry leader with a long-term vision (and an even longer track record).
- Hybrid working is possible
- A monthly salary based on your experience
- Direct exposure to complex, international projects and cutting-edge engineering.
- Clear growth potential toward broader management roles.
- Opportunities to join offshore execution if that’s your thing. You’re welcome on board.
