Senior Cost Engineer Infra Land

At Van Oord, we work every day on projects that protect and connect the Netherlands. Think of dyke reinforcements, coastal protection, and new infrastructure connections that contribute to a safe and accessible country. Examples include projects such as the Afsluitdijk, ViA15, several KRW and PAGW projects, and dyke reinforcement projects such as Tiel–Waardenburg, IJsselmeerdijk, and Groene Rivier Well.
