About us
Risk management within Damen Shipyards Group has taken a significant step forward with the introduction of the Group Risk Board in 2019. This independent advisory body supports the Executive Board in decision-making for projects above a defined contract threshold during the commercial phase of the project lifecycle.
Â
At divisional level, risk management is actively embedded in daily operations. Multidisciplinary teams identify and manage risks throughout the project lifecycle, while the Group Risk Management team defines the overarching risk framework, standards and methodologies, and provides guidance and support to the divisions.
Â
As a Risk Manager at Group level, you operate at the intersection of strategy, projects and governance. For selected complex or high-impact projects, you are directly involved — from the commercial phase through execution — ensuring that risks are identified early, well understood and actively managed.
The role
As Risk Manager (Group), you play a key role in strengthening risk awareness and decision-making across Damen. You work closely with project teams, divisional management and Group stakeholders to ensure that operational, financial and contractual risks are transparently assessed and effectively mitigated.
This is a hands-on, advisory role with real influence: you lead risk workshops, translate complex risks into clear insights, and help teams make better-informed choices. The role is primarily based at Group level, with limited travel (approximately once per quarter).
