Project Planner Offshore Energy

Van Oord is leading the energy transition to renewable energy by constructing offshore wind projects. In the role of Project Planner you will work in the project team, responsible for planning the project execution. For various international (offshore energy) projects we are looking for a project planner with experience.

Your responsibilities

As a project planner you provide plan and project control support to the project management to successfully plan and progress the preparation and execution of the works. You will work with the project team, consortium partners and (sub)contractors and proactively advise on time, progress, resource management, opportunities and risks. It is a multifaceted, but above all a responsible role, in which your knowledge and ingenuity will be put to the successful completion of the project. Typical tasks and responsibilities comprise:

• Maintaining, update and progress the contract planning, considering all aspects of the work like logic, resource planning, cash flows and uncertainties;
• Create transparency and overview with clear visuals (by usage of gant charts, time-distance diagrams, storyboards and 4D-plans);
• Advise project management on strategic direction for the project and provide "what if scenarios" to consider if the situation is asking for it;
• Deliver reliable progress reports during the project duration;
• Initiate and lead brainstorm and workshop type meetings like planning reviews and rehearsals of concept (ROC).

Job requirements

You have strong communicative skills and believe in combining multiple disciplines for better results. Creating and maintaining a clear overview is what makes you tick! You have the ability to translate complex matters into understandable insights. Next to that:

• You have a bachelor’s or master’s degree;
• You have at least 3 years of experience in planning (in the industry);
• Excellent command of the English language, spoken and written;
• Experience in developing project schedules (e.g. Primavera P6, TILOS, MS Project);
• You are fulltime available (minimal 32 hours) and willing to travel regularly to our offices in Rotterdam and Gorinchem;
• In the near future you are also flexible to visit our projects.
