Project Leader

As a Project Leader, you will contribute to challenging civil engineering projects within a top 3 construction group in Belgium. You will be part of the civil engineering division, where buildings, infrastructure, and civil works come together in projects that are substantial in content and require technical fireworks. You will be active from Brussels, focusing on the Antwerp - Brussels axis and projects in the region of Leuven, Limburg, and Liège.

Your role is a mix of coordinating, following up, and driving the process. You will work closely with calculation and tender colleagues who are strongly focused on execution, and you will ensure that plans do not remain a paper dream but land neatly and practicably on the construction site.

Your responsibilities:

• You lead projects from preparation to execution and follow-up.
• You coordinate with tender engineers, calculators, work planners, and execution teams.
• You monitor planning, quality, budget, and progress of the works.
• You maintain smooth communication between internal teams, subcontractors, and other involved parties.
• You identify risks early and make adjustments where necessary, without panic and with common sense.
• You monitor activities at various locations, with regular presence in Neder-Over-Heembeek when necessary.
• You contribute to safe, efficient, and high-quality execution.
• You think along in solutions and enjoy projects that have some life in them.

Depending on your experience, you can start in a more operational project leader role or grow into significant responsibility within the tender and execution environment through a career path. For a starting master's graduate with a clear focus on Tender Engineer / Calculator, there is even a traineeship of approximately one year, during which you will get to know various departments with the ultimate goal of working in the tender and calculation department.

For this position, our client is looking for someone with a bachelor's or master's level of thinking and preferably experience in a relevant construction or civil engineering context. An experienced worker who has progressed from a class 7 or class 8 environment can also be a perfect fit, as long as the technical reflex and sense of responsibility are present.

What you bring:

• A background in construction, civil engineering, execution, or related fields.
• Experience with project follow-up, site coordination, calculation, or tender operations is a great asset.
• You are strong in planning, structuring, and communication.
• You think both analytically and practically: numbers and deadlines do not scare you.
• You collaborate smoothly with different profiles and maintain an overview, even when there is a lot of activity.
• You are flexible regarding distance and willing to work actively on the Antwerp - Brussels axis.
• You have a strong interest in civil engineering and want to grow in this field.
• You are hands-on, eager to learn, and feel at home in a dynamic environment.

Additional advantages:

• You are familiar with tender work or calculation with a focus on execution.
• You can work independently, but also function strongly as part of a team.
• You have an affinity for project-based work within a larger construction group.

Our client specifically does not seek pure infrastructure profiles. The focus here is on civil engineering with a clear link to execution, coordination, and project follow-up.

You will join a strong construction group with room for development, technical challenges, and an environment where collaboration truly matters. Expect a role with impact, variety, and sufficient responsibilities to sink your teeth into.

What you can expect:

• A competitive salary package in line with your experience and responsibilities. Between €3000-€5000
• Additional benefits tailored to the construction sector and the role.
• A stable employer with a solid reputation and challenging projects.
• Opportunities for training, further education, and internal career advancement.
• A dynamic work environment where you are not just a number, but contribute to making a difference.
• Projects with substance, technical complexity, and visible impact.
• Flexibility in employment location from Neder-Over-Heembeek, Sint-Truiden, or Nazareth, with regular presence at relevant project or office locations.
• Respect for the construction holiday regulations and a schedule that takes this into account as much as possible.

Here you don't just get a job, but a role where you can grow, help build strong projects, and learn something new every day.
