Work planner (Zeeland)

Do you have technical insight and are you good at calculating quantities for projects such as dismantling pipework, storage tanks and complete refineries? Then this vacancy is for you!

You will already be presented with a project during the tender phase. Together with the executor and the project leader, you assess what needs to be done and what the best approach is. You work this out together with the executor in a work plan and a safety plan. As soon as it is clear what needs to be done, you communicate this to the customer. You have architectural insight and understand a lifting plan.

You calculate which equipment needs to be used for a job. You are also responsible for the planning of personnel and equipment. To do this, you will discuss their action plan with the implementation team. You then translate this into commitment and follow-through. You arrange paperwork, make appointments, consult with the customer and support the business office. In addition, you are the point of contact for the executor for questions during the implementation of our projects.

You hold toolbox meetings with your team, with which you continuously draw attention to the subject of safety. And do you identify an opportunity for a new project for DDM? Then you immediately inform the commercial department.

The name says it all: I prepare projects and plan everything. I don't do this alone, of course, but together with the executor and the project leader. We go to a job, take stock of what needs to be done, see what the situation is on site and whether safety is efficiently arranged. Once we have a clear idea of what work needs to be done, I put it on paper for the customer.

And I make calculations. Which type of crane you should use to lift installations and machines with a certain weight. Which method you choose for certain activities. Sometimes this also includes financial calculations: the cost of a project. Then you visit a work together and each make a separate cost calculation. Time, manpower, equipment; you name it. We then arrive at the correct project price for the customer.

My job takes place both in the office and in the field. What I enjoy most is working out a plan on paper. That we arrive at a method that gets the job done as efficiently, safely and quickly as possible. Including the associated paperwork: inspections, appointments, the right machines, the right people. We should never be short of anything and never stand still during the course of a project.

Another topic that I pay a lot of attention to is safety. I keep the topic of safety current with daily toolboxes. Various topics are then discussed together with the employees. Sometimes this concerns wearing Personal Protective Equipment, other times about possible unsafe situations.

What do you need to be able to do this job properly? Especially that you can deal well with people, both internally and externally. You also have to be able to withstand stress and always commit yourself 100 percent.
