At Jan De Nul, we are building the world of tomorrow. Whether it’s sustainable infrastructure or complex civil engineering projects, quality is the foundation of everything we do. As a Quality Advisor, you are the guardian of our standards.

Your Role

From our headquarters in Aalst, you play a key role within the central QHSSE department. You are the link between our international standards and the reality on site. You guide projects from the very first tender phase through to final completion.

Your tasks and responsibilities:

• Project Guidance: You develop quality plans and implement our management systems on site, fully aligned with customer requirements and applicable legislation.

• Monitoring & Optimisation: Through regular site visits and audits, you keep your finger on the pulse. You identify deviations, investigate their root causes and implement corrective measures promptly.
• Collaboration: You work closely with suppliers, subcontractors and colleagues at headquarters to continuously improve our processes.

What do you need? 

• You have a master's degree in a technical or scientific field.
• You have several years of experience in quality within the construction industry.
• Fluency in Dutch is a must.

• You excel in communication, coaching and guidance, have a problem-solving mindset and take initiative to improve both project quality and the overall quality management system.

You will be based at our headquarters in Aalst and will regularly travel to our project sites.
