How you can make your mark

Make your mark as a Systems Engineer at the Global Engineering department of Boskalis Offshore Energy. As a Systems Engineer you are the link between project management and the design, engineering, and execution disciplines. Will you take on the challenge within Boskalis as an experienced Systems Engineer to care of project control for our renewable projects? Being a Systems Engineer in the Offshore Energy is different from, for instance, the Dutch civil construction industry. Within Offshore Energy, the Systems Engineer role is starting-up, therefore you have the freedom to draw the process yourself with the collaboration from your colleagues. You oversee the project processes and if required, you improve and renew these processes at the department level. You are a pragmatic person, and you can easily connect with the people and business.

Your goal is to establish and maintain an overview of key project control structures and all interlinked process outputs such as requirements, risks, contract clarifications and others. All in a centralized project control environment. Your proactive attitude makes sure the agreed deadlines are met, that no one is struggling or has lost the overview. You are someone who sees multiple ways to reach their goal and who does not get distracted by set or push back.

Your responsibility as an experienced Systems Engineer:

• You have a vision of what Systems Engineering could bring to renewables projects and you are able to create a roadmap for the department to get there;
• You can easily communicate the “why” of Systems Engineering and have the soft skills to involve and motivate the people;
• You take care of the projects overall monitoring and control process using the Boskalis Offshore Energy Systems Engineering approach;

• You like to create order and structure in huge sets of information and data. You pay attention to details making sure the agreed-on process steps are followed in time;
• Since our projects scope is large and complex, you will never have full information to base your work on. Therefore, you must pro-actively chase missing information by getting input from every specialist involved and get their expert judgment in time; 
• You work in a logic and traceable manner to ensure that others will immediately understand the changes and assumptions made in the project control system.  

You can make your mark as a Systems Engineer if you have:

• Proven experience as Systems Engineer or other project control roles in the construction business for at least 3 years.
• A Masters or bachelor’s degree in for example complex systems engineering, business administration or a technical engineering study.
• Experience withs Relational Databases and working with PowerBI.
• Experience with working on tenders and projects in execution. You understand the dynamic of working on projects.
• Interest in the Offshore Market and field of Project management.
