Lead international projects from design to delivery

Do you want to lead technically complex projects that contribute to, for example, scientific research or the energy transition? At Demaco, you work on cryogenic installations for international clients. From design and engineering to production, testing and delivery: almost everything happens under one roof in Noord-Scharwoude.

As Technical Project Manager, you keep control of the entire project. You connect the client with our internal specialists and ensure that projects are delivered safely, on schedule, within budget and with the right quality.

What will you do? You are responsible for multiple technical client projects that are in different phases. Depending on the type and scope, you oversee 12 to 30 active projects. These vary in value from € 5.000, - to € 15 million and have a lead time of six weeks to three years.

You work together with, among others, account managers, calculators, engineers, work preparers, buyers, production employees and fitters. You monitor the big picture, keep a grip on the details and ensure that everyone involved knows what is expected of them.

Your responsibilities include:

  • Establishing the project specifications with the client, sales and engineering;

  • Drawing up and monitoring project plans, schedules and budgets;

  • Coordinating the multidisciplinary project team;

  • Monitoring quality, safety, project risks and the agreed scope of delivery;

  • Maintaining client contact and aligning changes and deviations;

  • Making purchasing decisions with the Purchasing department, within the applicable authorities;

  • Reporting on progress and results and ensuring a good handover and project evaluation.

You are given a lot of freedom to move projects forward and to make decisions independently. You coordinate the deployment of colleagues with the responsible department managers. You are responsible for the choices you make and the results of your projects.

You will be the fourth project manager within the team. Because our clients are located all over the world, you visit a client or project location abroad several times a year. A trip usually lasts a maximum of seven days and could, for example, go to the United States.

What do you bring? You are client- and result-oriented, keep an overview and dare to make decisions. Even when a project does not go as planned, you stay calm, set priorities and steer in a targeted way.

In addition, you have:

  • A completed technical higher vocational education (hbo) or a comparable level of work and thinking;

  • At least two years of experience coordinating or leading technical projects, for example as project manager, project leader, project engineer or lead engineer;

  • Experience within a technical company that itself develops and engineers products, machines or installations;

  • Technical insight and affinity with engineering;

  • Experience with ERP systems, Microsoft Project and Microsoft Office;

  • A good command of Dutch and English;

  • Willingness to travel abroad several times a year.

Experience with cryogenic technology is not required. We find it most important that you quickly understand technical processes and are curious about our specialised field.

What do we offer you? At Demaco, you work in an informal and collegial organisation in which engineering and production work closely together. You get plenty of room to take responsibility and to develop yourself further.

In addition, we offer:

  • A gross monthly salary between € 4.000, - and € 6.000, -, depending on your knowledge and experience;

  • A one-year contract with the intention of converting it to a permanent employment contract;

  • 27 vacation days and 13 Adv days: a total of 40 days off with a full-time employment;

  • A good pension scheme via PME;

  • A company laptop and phone;

  • A easily accessible work location in Noord-Scharwoude;

  • Room for training, courses and international growth opportunities within Demaco, OPW and Dover.
