Works Manager

De mooiste move van je carrière? Die maak je misschien wel met je overstap naar de Vries & van de Wiel. Want daar word je als generalist pur sang niet alleen gewaardeerd om wat je kunt. Je krijgt er ook de kans om je te ontwikkelen tot wie en wat je wilt worden, en een toekomst met minder fossiele brandstoffen iedere dag een stukje dichterbij te halen.

Als Works Manager zorg je voor de technische uitvoering van onze saneringsprojecten en acquireer je nieuwe, zoveel mogelijk duurzame, projecten. Je werkt samen met de collega´s in je team en krijgt ondersteuning en coaching van de Operations Manager en Hoofd Bedrijfsbureau.

Waar doe je dat?
Omdat je in een team werkt met meerdere collega’s ben je de meeste dagen op je projectlocatie(s) te vinden. In voorbereidende fases is dit vaak ons gezellige kantoor in Amsterdam-Noord. Maar als het zo uitkomt, werk je natuurlijk ook gewoon vanuit huis.
