The challenge

As Outfitting Coordinator, you are responsible for the execution of mechanical engineering projects at our client’s shipyard within the assigned account. MSN is involved in multiple projects within this account, making this coordinating role essential as a key point of contact for both the client and the internal organisation.

The main focus is on ensuring alignment between the various projects and achieving the optimal balance between execution, quality, safety, planning and commercial performance. You act as the link between the client, project management and day-to-day operations. Your priority is to ensure that work progresses consistently, systematically and in a controlled manner.

Within the account, you provide direction to the execution teams and monitor progress and the feasibility of schedules across the various projects. You maintain close coordination with project management, the foreman and the client, overseeing overall progress and key priorities. You identify risks and bottlenecks, take timely corrective action and provide constructive technical and operational input where necessary. In doing so, you balance different interests while keeping the best interests of the project and the client in mind.

In addition to being responsible for project execution within the account, you are commercially responsible for identifying, substantiating and securing additional work across the projects. You discuss additional work with the client and, in collaboration with the Project Manager, translate it into a clearly defined scope, schedule and financial implications. You safeguard MSN’s commercial interests and ensure that all additional work is documented, agreed upon and delivered in a careful and professional manner.

What are we looking for?

• HBO-level education or equivalent professional and intellectual ability, preferably in Mechanical Engineering, Marine Engineering or a comparable technical field;

• Several years of relevant experience in a similar role and in possession of a VCA-VOL certificate;

• Ability to work in a structured and methodical manner within a project environment;

• Preferably experience with mechanical systems in the maritime sector. Experience in luxury yacht building is an advantage;

• Experience with Excel, ERP systems and interpreting Cadmatic drawings;

• Good command of both Dutch and English.
