You play a key role in managing budgets, identifying opportunities and risks, and optimizing designs from a cost perspective. Your analyses form the foundation for strategic decisions made by clients, project teams, and executives.

  • Experience with calculation software such as IBIS Calculeren voor de Bouw (formerly IBIS TRAD) and/or IBIS Calculeren voor Infra
  • Affinity with BIM, Solibri, and other developments in digitization and automation
  • You take initiative, know how to persuade others, and dare to ask critical questions
  • An entrepreneurial and solution-oriented mindset: you think in opportunities and actively contribute to winning and successful projects
  • Strong analytical and communication skills, both towards project teams and clients

What you can expect from us

  • An employment contract for an indefinite period.
  • A gross monthly salary between €4,000 and €7,000, depending on experience and education.
