Project Manager Compact Crafts

Damen

Gorinchem
Full Time
Posted on: March 30 2026

We offer you an Ocean of Possibilities. Join our family.

Wie zijn we?

Bij Compact Crafts, een innovatieve dochteronderneming van Damen Shipyards, werk je samen met een team van circa 30 collega’s aan het ontwerpen en bouwen van compacte, duurzame werkboten van kunststof. Denk aan patrouilleboten, havenschepen en offshore ondersteuningsvaartuigen. Met jouw expertise zorg je dat onze projecten van idee tot oplevering vlekkeloos verlopen, en draag je bij aan een duurzame maritieme toekomst.

Alles gebeurt in Gorinchem: engineering, inkoop, productie. Daardoor kunnen we snel schakelen, nieuwe ideeën testen en direct bijsturen. Je staat letterlijk met je neus op de techniek en ziet waar je aan werkt. Je combineert serieproducties met unieke first-offs: een uitdagende mix die vakmanschap en innovatie vraagt.
Samen bouwen we aan de organisatie. Dat betekent veel autonomie en ruimte om jouw rol vorm te geven, en vraagt vakvolwassenheid en verantwoordelijkheid van jou als projectmanager.


 De functie in het kort:

Als Project Manager ben jij de spil in complexe technische projecten.
Jij:

  • Leidt en coördineert het volledige traject: van conceptontwerp tot realisatie.
  • Bewaakt planningen en zorgt dat deadlines worden gehaald.
  • Verbindt stakeholders: van engineers tot klanten, nationaal én internationaal.
  • Zorgt voor kwaliteit en veiligheid volgens de hoogste normen.
  • Integreert innovatie: nieuwe materialen zoals HDPE en digitale tools zoals SAP.
  • Beheert contracten en borgt afspraken en wijzigingen.
  • Stuurt demo-projecten en opschaling van start-up naar scale-up.


Wij zoeken:

Een ervaren Project Manager, een pionier die niet bang is voor een uitdaging!

  • Een afgeronde technische opleiding (Maritieme Techniek, Werktuigbouwkunde of vergelijkbaar).
  • 5-10 jaar ervaring in technisch projectmanagement, inclusief internationale projecten.
  • Uitgebreide kennis van scheepsbouw, innovatieve materialen en productieprocessen.
  • Ervaring heeft met contractmanagement en ERP-systemen (SAP).
  • Vloeiend in Nederlands en Engels.
  • Communicatief sterk, resultaatgericht en innovatief.


Wat bieden wij jou?

  • Dynamische internationale werkomgeving gericht op technologie en innovatie.
  • Marktconform salaris, 42 vakantiedagen, winstdeling & pensioenregeling.
  • Continue professionele en persoonlijke ontwikkeling via Damen Academy.
  • Actieve sociale omgeving met evenementen en sportactiviteiten.

Klaar om aan boord te komen?

Klinkt Compact Crafts als de juiste Damen omgeving voor jou? En ben jij een Project Manager in hart en nieren? Dan lezen we graag jouw CV en motivatie.
