Project management, the Damen way

No two roles are the same at Damen. Some manage fast paced repairs; others lead multi-year newbuilds. But all Damen Project Managers have one thing in common: they take ownership. With the freedom to lead in their own way. With the backing of a team that’s always ready, our Project Managers shape the maritime world of tomorrow, every single day.
