Team Leader Engineering

Royal IHC is currently recruiting a Team Leader Engineering.   

Your key responsibilities as Team Leader Engineering: 

 As Team Leader Engineering (TLE) you are responsible for the engineering work package of a shipbuilding project. Externally this role is sometimes also referred to as Engineering Project Manager / Project Manager Engineering (EPM / PME). The TLE is part of the Project Management Team (PMT) and reports (operationally) to the Project Manager (PM). In the line organization, the TLEs report (functionally) to the Manager Engineering (ME). 

You ensure that the engineering is carried out within the agreed (OSBIT) frameworks. You lead the engineering project team (lead engineers + discipline engineers) and are the connecting (engineering) link with both internal (e.g. Design & Estimation, Supply Chain Management, Production) and external stakeholders: Client, Class, Yard, Suppliers / Subcontractors. 

Normally the project execution phase involves carrying out both Basic Engineering (BE) and Detail Engineering (DE). The Functional Discipline Engineering (FDE) provides the required engineering capacity. In most cases, engineering is done entirely in-house (NL + HR), but external parties can also be involved. 

The (newbuild) projects are supplied by the various Product Market Groups (PMGs), which results in a variety of products. Products can be realized at Royal IHC yards (NL) as well as abroad, making multiple scenarios possible. 

To be successful in this position you: 

We are looking for a real team builder, someone who is able to lead an engineering team. It is certainly not just about having technical (shipbuilding) knowledge: mastering project management / soft skills is just as important. 

You have at least completed a higher professional (HBO) / university (WO) education in technology. In principle we are looking for someone with relevant work experience. We could consider a development program for someone with less experience. 

Considering the responsibilities, a TLE is someone who has an extensive set of competencies, including: 

•  Proactive attitude 
• Multidisciplinary understanding / experience of engineering 
• Excellent communication skills 
• Team builder 
• Stakeholder management / engagement 
• Responsible & reliable 

Given the international nature of our business, a TLE is someone who is willing to travel. 

Please note that only candidates with valid EU work visa will be considered as viable candidates.   

* These requirements give a direction to the profile we are looking. At Royal IHC, we warmly welcome anyone to join us, regardless of their background, disabilities or challenges. For example: research shows that male candidates apply if there is a 60% match and women only when there is a 100% match. Do you not meet all the requirements but do you think that this is the position for you? Then we would like to invite you to apply.   

Royal IHC offers you:   

• A gross monthly salary between €5700,- and €7854,- + 8% holiday allowance (based on a fulltime working week).    

• Good work/life balance with 40 vacation days for full-time employment with the option to buy or sell (additional) leave.    

• The possibility to work from home with associated expense allowance and/or to perform the work on the basis of flexible working hours (depending on the position).    

• An average salary pension scheme in which matters are properly arranged in the event of accidental death, incapacity for work or unemployment.    

• Good disability insurance.    

• Participation (on a voluntary basis) in the Social Fund, on the basis of which care and related costs are reimbursed that are not covered by your health insurance.    

• Discount on VGZ's additional healthcare insurance.  

• A training budget of €1,500 every three years.     

• Unlimited sporting in our own fitness room (in exchange for the sustainable employability day).   

• € 0,21 per kilometer commuting allowance.    

• A profit-sharing scheme.   

In 2042 (when we exist 400 years) Royal IHC will be a fully sustainable company with a net-zero portfolio.   

Selection process:    

After your application, there will first be a short phone call with the Corporate Recruiter. Subsequently, the selection procedure consists of two rounds of interviews. The first interview will be with the manager and a direct colleague. During the second interview, a manager from a different department and someone from HR will join. If everyone is enthusiastic, a phone call follows to discuss the terms of employment.
