You have at least 10 years of experience in project engineering and have led integrated project teams. You have experience in a lead role for Conceptual, FEED and Detail Engineering projects with exposure to field engineering activities. Certification in PMP is a strong benefit but may be optional depending on your complementary skills and experiences.

You will be involved in building up Paebbl’s first pilot plant, in many ways our most important project for the next 12-24 months, in addition to the next scale-up plant that could be 1000x as large. As such, you will be confronted with a diverse range of operational and R&D challenges, incorporating new data from experiments as well as pilot plant operation into the next plant; to do this well, you need to be structured, resourceful and adaptable.

Ranging from small to big projects, you have a long list of successfully run projects to your name in which you have demonstrated the ability to think analytically and creatively about problem-solving. You enjoy collaborating across disciplines, as well as a constructive approach to teamwork. You have good communication skills and are fluent in English (fluency in Dutch is a plus!).
