About us

Damen Offshore & Specialized Vessels (OSV) ontwerpt en bouwt een breed scala aan gespecialiseerde schepen voor offshore-, energie‑ en maritieme klanten wereldwijd. Onze projecten zijn technisch uitdagend en internationaal van karakter. Binnen deze omgeving speelt Finance & Control een sleutelrol in het beheersbaar maken van projecten en het ondersteunen van goede besluitvorming.
 

The role

Als Junior Project Controller ondersteun je bij het financieel beheren van scheepsbouwprojecten binnen de OSV‑divisie. Je werkt nauw samen met ervaren Project Controllers en Project Managers en krijgt direct inzicht in budgetten, forecasts, marges, cashflow en projectrisico’s. Naarmate je ervaring groeit, krijg je stap voor stap meer verantwoordelijkheid en ga je kleinere of minder complexe projecten zelfstandig ondersteunen, terwijl je daarnaast blijft meewerken aan grotere en complexere projecten onder begeleiding van senior collega’s.
 

Deze rol is ideaal voor iemand aan het begin van zijn of haar financiële carrière, die zich wil ontwikkelen in een project gedreven, technische en internationale omgeving. Je maakt deel uit van de Finance & Control afdeling, waar Project Control een belangrijke bijdrage levert aan projectinzicht, forecast kwaliteit en business besluitvorming.
 

Key accountabilities

In deze functie ga je onder andere:

  • Ondersteunen bij het monitoren van projectbudgetten, forecasts, marges en cashflow
  • Assisteren bij het opstellen van periodieke projectrapportages, analyses en forecast updates
  • Helpen bij het signaleren en verklaren van afwijkingen in kosten, planning, risico’s en resultaten
  • Ondersteunen van senior Project Controllers bij grotere of complexere projecten
  • Geleidelijk verantwoordelijkheid oppakken voor kleinere of meer gestandaardiseerde projecten
  • Project Managers ondersteunen met financiële inzichten en eenvoudige scenarioanalyses
  • Zorgdragen voor een correcte en tijdige financiële administratie volgens Damen- en OSV‑richtlijnen
  • Project control processen, tools en rapportages leren toepassen
  • Bijdragen aan verbeteringen in werkwijzen en processen binnen Project Control
     

Skills & Experience

  • Afgeronde Bachelor‑ of Masteropleiding in Finance, Bedrijfskunde, Economie of vergelijkbaar
  • 0 tot 3 jaar relevante werkervaring, bijvoorbeeld in controlling, finance, projectadministratie, audit of consultancy
  • Interesse in werken binnen een project gedreven en technische omgeving
  • Sterk analytisch vermogen en oog voor detail
  • Leergierig, proactief en niet bang om vragen te stellen
  • Comfortabel met Excel en financiële systemen
  • Goede beheersing van de Engelse taal; Nederlands is een pré
  • Ervaring in een projectomgeving is een plus
     

What we offer

  • Een solide start van je financiële carrière binnen toonaangevende scheepsbouwprojecten
  • Intensieve begeleiding en duidelijke leerlijnen
  • Werken in een internationale, technisch uitdagende omgeving
  • Goede doorgroeimogelijkheden binnen Damen
  • Marktconform salaris en aantrekkelijke secundaire arbeidsvoorwaarden
