Project Director

Your mandate: execution, ownership and results You will personally lead the on-site execution of a major industrial project while overseeing several others, with individual projects worth several million euros. Your responsibility extends from site mobilisation and execution through handover and contractual and financial close-out. This is neither a design-engineering position nor a remote project oversight role.

You will be close to the work, teams, subcontractors and customers — while maintaining control of safety, quality, deadlines, budgets, margins and contractual commitments. Where you will make the difference Deliver on site. Set execution priorities, coordinate multidisciplinary teams and subcontractors, resolve operational issues and ensure safe, high-quality delivery.

Protect project performance. Own budgets, forecasts, costs, cash flow and margins; spot deviations early and act before they affect results. Manage contractual complexity.

Anticipate risks, handle variations and claims, contribute to negotiations and safeguard customer relationships, including in public-sector projects. Lead and develop people. Guide a team of approximately five to six project professionals, building accountability, confidence and stronger project practices.

Create clarity. Use practical planning, reporting and project reviews to turn complex situations into timely decisions — without unnecessary bureaucracy. At least 7 years managing complex industrial projects, including substantial, hands-on responsibility for on-site execution.

At least 3 years in project management roles, with proven ability to lead and develop multidisciplinary teams. Strong financial and contractual judgement: budgets, margins, forecasts, risk, negotiation and claims. A sound technical foundation, ideally in mechanical, electromechanical, civil or industrial engineering; other educational backgrounds are welcome with substantial relevant experience.

Fluent French and English; basic Dutch is an advantage. Experience with public procurement is particularly valuable. Above all, you enjoy the reality of industrial sites.

You are pragmatic, structured and decisive; you can challenge technical choices, understand their commercial consequences and bring people with you.
