We specialise in complex, large-scale construction projects and deliver fully customised solutions for both private and public clients. At Jan De Nul Group, safety and quality are at the core of everything we do. Our technical expertise and decades of experience place us among the global industry leaders.

From the world’s largest lock in Antwerp, to an innovative quay wall in Panama, the sustainable and architecturally refined Résidence Palace in Brussels, and the fully integrated A11 motorway — these are all projects proudly delivered by Jan De Nul Group!

As a Civil Engineering Project Engineer, you are responsible for the technical, administrative, and organisational preparation of our domestic construction projects.

• In your role as work planner, you serve as the link between the external stakeholders and the internal project team. You liaise with contractors, suppliers, and other partners, reviewing technical drawings and contract documents to ensure alignment with the engineering office.
• All activities are carried out in accordance with safety regulations and in close coordination with the site manager and project leader.
• You report directly to the project leader.
