About us
Damen Offshore & Specialized Vessels.
We design and deliver maritime projects for various markets like Defense & Security, Public transport, Offshore and Dredging.
Our projects are Engineered to Order (ETO). Which means we are involved throughout the project, from the commercial phase and building the PM strategy, until commissioning, delivery and warranty. This makes our work very challenging because the environment is complex and we have a lot of stakeholders.
We work in close cooperation with various internal departments, (sub)contractors, teams on the shipyard and of course the client and her representatives.
We do this with an international team of ‘can-do’ people that are developing new and innovative technologies and ways to support customers and push for a more sustainable maritime industry.
The role

You are involved from the start of the project, while working closely with the product managers, until ultimately building the ship in the yard. Thus, our Project Managers are involved from the tendering phase to Engineering, Supply Chain up until finish. Warranty will also be part of a project.
We belief that as Project Manager you should be where the action is, which means you will travel abroad together with the project team.
You make a successful project your priority, working with the overall Damen interests in mind and taking client wishes into account.
You are excellent in managing stakeholders, both internally and externally, in a culturally diverse environment.
A project team typically covers a group of 5 to 20 direct members and approx. 200 people in the total project, depending on the size of the project.
