Technical Manager

FlevolandHybrid24 hours/week6-12months

The assignment takes place within an infrastructure project office. The expert team works with two IPM teams on complex infrastructural explorations and (new construction) projects. Various projects are in preparation, with a focus on the construction of a specific ring road which is currently in the tendering phase, followed by execution. Deployment on other projects, such as a bus rapid transit system or traffic safety optimization, is also possible; these are still in the preparatory phase.

You will work with a multidisciplinary team of advisors, technical specialists, and designers. You will ensure coherence between the various disciplines and monitor the quality and progress of the work. From your technical expertise, you will carefully weigh the diverse interests of stakeholders and jointly seek supported solutions that contribute to organizational objectives.

Within the framework of the organization, you will initiate a structured approach that enables the team to effectively arrive at well-founded technical choices. Using a quality management system as a guideline, you will monitor progress per project phase and ensure product quality. Maintaining an overview and manageability of the entire package of tasks and responsibilities is an important part of your role. As an IPM role holder, you can direct a group of people towards collaboration and achieving goals.
