Cost Engineer Infra Land

At Van Oord, we work every day on projects that protect and connect the Netherlands. These include dike reinforcements, coastal protection, and new infrastructure connections that contribute to a safe and accessible country. Examples include projects such as the Afsluitdijk, ViA15, various WFD and PAGW projects, and dike reinforcements such as Tiel-Waardenburg, the IJsselmeer Dike, and Groene Rivier Well.
