Your Role
As a
Project Engineer
within our Technical Division, you are responsible for coordinating and following up various technical conversion and conversion projects in order to guarantee the operational availability of ships and equipment. This in accordance with the specifications set by the Operations Division and within the planned time and budget.

Your main duties and responsibilities are:

• Preparing the specifications, construction plans and all relevant documents related to the conversion;

You are employed from our central offices in Aalst/Hofstade and are willing, depending on the phase and needs on the project, to travel abroad for shorter periods (usually 2-3 weeks). This will include following up on activities at local shipyards or with suppliers and subcontractors.
