What you will do

Build the future of the Royal Netherlands Navy.

How do you ensure that the Royal Netherlands Navy can rely on its ships, submarines, and weapon systems? By managing complex projects effectively, connecting specialists, and translating strategic objectives into concrete results. As a Project Leader at the Material Maintenance Directorate (DMI) in Den Helder, you will work on projects that directly contribute to the operational readiness of the Royal Netherlands Navy. A responsible role where technology, collaboration, and project management come together.

What you will do

At the Ministry of Defence, it's about more than just technology. Behind the material readiness of the Royal Netherlands Navy lie complex projects where different disciplines, interests, and organizations converge. As a Project Leader, you will ensure that these projects are realized within the agreed frameworks.

You will work within the Specific Maintenance & New Construction (SI&NB) department. This department plays a crucial role in the material maintenance of the Royal Netherlands Navy and is involved in new construction and investment projects. You will collaborate with a wide range of internal and external parties, from technical specialists and project teams to directors and international partners.

Your activities include, among others:

• Independently realizing complex, multidisciplinary projects within the agreed objectives, budgets, timelines, and delegated authorities.

• Leading and connecting project teams with diverse expertise and backgrounds.

• Monitoring the progress, quality, risks, and coherence of projects.

• Advising senior project leaders and account managers on future projects, interdependencies, and issues within project management.

• Consulting with directors on strategic project matters and translating strategic choices into executable plans.

• Contributing to an effective and professional project organization, where collaboration and results-oriented work are central.

You will be given the space to independently guide projects and will be challenged to look beyond daily execution. You will oversee the bigger picture, identify bottlenecks in a timely manner, and bring together different interests. In this way, you make a concrete contribution to the readiness and future-proofing of the Royal Netherlands Navy.

What we are asking

Who are we looking for?

You are an experienced project leader who maintains an overview when projects become complex. You know how to bring together people with different expertise, weigh interests, and lead a project purposefully towards the desired result. You combine a structured approach with persuasiveness and have an eye for both the content and the people you work with.

Furthermore, you possess:

• A completed HBO (Higher Professional Education) degree in a technical field or business administration.

• An IPMA C certification, or the willingness to obtain one.

• Demonstrable experience within project organizations and experience with project management at IPMA C level.

• Broad knowledge of technology, business administration methodologies, and quality management.

• Proficiency in working with project management tools and in drafting structured plans and reports.

• Experience in setting up and managing projects and leading project teams.

You communicate clearly, can easily switch between operational and strategic issues, and know how to bring people along in changes. You take responsibility, dare to make decisions within your mandate, and keep the common goal in sight even with conflicting interests.

What else we offer

The Royal Netherlands Navy strongly values personal growth and career development and offers numerous opportunities for this. In addition to your salary, you will receive an Individual Choice Budget (IKB). The IKB consists of money (16.33% of your gross annual salary) and time. With the IKB, you make the choices that suit you and can assemble part of your employment conditions yourself. For example, you can choose to have part of your monthly income paid out when you wish. You can also convert this budget into extra holiday hours or spend it on tax-friendly purposes, such as an (electric) bicycle or laptop. It is also possible to (temporarily) reduce your working hours by a few hours per week.

We also believe it is important that you can combine working at Defence with your private life. Various leave arrangements (e.g., 75% paid parental leave) and attention to physical and mental health contribute to a good balance. For instance, you can use our extensive sports facilities for free. In addition to a pension scheme with ABP, you will receive a monthly commuting allowance or can opt for an unlimited public transport subscription throughout the Netherlands under favorable conditions.

Special notes

Do you want to use your experience as a project leader for projects that contribute to the operational readiness of the Royal Netherlands Navy? Then we would be happy to meet you.
