About Damen Shiprepair Rotterdam
Damen Shiprepair Rotterdam is part of the Damen Shiprepair & Conversion group. We focus on repair, maintenance, refit and conversion of a wide range of vessels, from offshore to cruise, naval and renewable energy.
At our yard in Rotterdam, no project is the same. From large structural conversions to complex dockings, we operate at the heart of technically demanding, time-critical projects. You work close to execution and see your work come to life in the drydock.
Make complex work executable
You know that solid preparation makes or breaks a project.
As Coordinator Work Preparation, you take ownership of exactly that. You lead a team of 13 specialists and ensure that complex repair projects are not only planned, but actually ready for execution.
You bring structure, clarity and control in a dynamic, high-pressure environment.
Your role
In this role as a Coordinator, you are in control of how work preparation is done.
You translate complex client scopes into clear, executable plans that production can rely on. At the same time, you ensure alignment between planning, engineering and production, keeping projects on track, even when priorities shift.
Maintaining the good atmosphere, you lead an experienced team of Work Preparators and Planners who look to you for direction, structure and continuous improvement.
Your impact is visible every day: in the drydocks, in the workshops and in the success of each project.
