Project Surveyor

As a Project Surveyor within the Boskalis Central Survey Department, you will make your mark supporting a diverse portfolio of offshore and dredging projects worldwide. Working primarily from the office in Papendrecht, you will be responsible for the technical preparation, coordination, and execution support of multiple survey projects simultaneously.

You act as the link between project teams, offshore survey crews, clients, and subcontractors, ensuring that survey activities are planned, executed, and delivered in line with project requirements and Boskalis' quality standards. Although the position is predominantly office-based, occasional travel to project sites, vessels, and client locations is required. Depending on project demands, occasional weekend work may also be necessary.

• Ensure compliance with company standards, client specifications, and applicable regulations.
• Contribute to the development and standardization of survey workflows and best practices.
• Participate in project visits, vessel inspections, offshore campaigns, and client meetings when required.
