    Project planner

    Are you a stress resistant problem solver with a strong sense of overview who will plan our high quality steel construction projects with confidence?

    What will you do?
    Are you passionate about finding creative solutions for the execution of beautiful, specialized and large scale steel construction projects? We are looking for a project planner who can immediately ensure optimal deployment and alignment of various resources such as professionals, materials and equipment for our steel construction projects.

    You are responsible for implementing planning management on large integrated tenders and execution projects. You create daily schedules and translate these into project schedules, including subcontractors and suppliers within multidisciplinary project plans.

    Naturally, you participate in project meetings with the project team, where you advise the team and project managers on planning related matters.

    In the preparation phase, you create schedules for project realization. During the execution phase, you monitor project progress and process this into weekly updates of the various schedules and progress reports. This also allows you to identify deviations from the intended results and returns across different projects.

    With your excellent communication skills, you ensure smooth coordination between subcontractors within the contractual frameworks of the project. You leave nothing to chance and know exactly how to solve the puzzle.

    What do we offer you?

    In return for your commitment, we offer a strong and attractive benefits package. As a project planner, you will receive:

    • A competitive salary depending on your experience and background
    • Immediate employment with Robust Steel Structures
    • 27 plus 13 ATV days off based on the Metalektro collective labor agreement, partly fixed
    • An excellent pension scheme via the PME pension fund
    • A company car, laptop and mobile phone to perform your work optimally
    • A generous expense allowance for possible stays near the project location
    • A pleasant working atmosphere with great colleagues. Robust Structures organizes annual joint activities such as a summer BBQ and a year end gathering, and has an active staff association
    • A strong focus on vitality in the workplace, including free fruit and the opportunity to participate in our bicycle plan
    • We believe it is important to provide colleagues with the tools to keep their knowledge up to date. Development opportunities are therefore open for discussion, in addition to courses and training offered by the organization

    What do we ask from you?

    As a planner, you are the central link within the project. You take into account the interests of the client, the company and the employees involved. A good planner possesses a number of essential competencies.

    Strong planning skills
    An obvious one, but without this competency the list is incomplete. You leave nothing to chance and know exactly how to solve the puzzle.

    Maintaining overview
    Maintaining a clear overview of your planning is essential. It enables you to switch flexibly and communicate effectively with all involved parties.

    Communication expert
    There are several parties you need to keep aligned. Each has their own needs and expectations. It is not always possible to meet every expectation, so being able to clearly communicate the choices you make is crucial.

    Excellent at identifying risks
    You identify potential issues at an early stage. When you see problems coming, you can calmly find and implement solutions in time.

    The problem solver
    You not only identify problems, you also solve them. You take into account the interests of clients, the company and employees. You have not only a plan A, but also a plan B. This ensures a relaxed atmosphere within the project, even when things do not go exactly as expected.

    Someone who takes action
    As a planner, you do not wait and see. You take initiative and steer your project without planning stress. You get things done. You know where the bottlenecks are, think about improvements and act decisively.

    Stress resistant
    Every planning has deadlines. Last minute changes happen regularly, and you are able to handle this pressure.

    A negotiator
    To create a workable planning, strong negotiation skills are essential. If you encounter a planning issue, you know how to persuade a colleague to take on an extra shift.

    The basics

    • At least a completed bachelor degree in an economic or technical field
    • At least five years of experience in a similar role within the steel construction or construction sector
    • Excellent command of Primavera P6
    • Full proficiency in resource control and cost loaded schedules
    • Good command of both Dutch and English, spoken and written
    • A valid VCA certificate is an advantage

    Frequently asked Questions

    What does the application process look like?

    You submit your application via our website. Our hr department reviews your application and will get back to you with an appropriate response as soon as possible. If there is a good match, you will be invited for an initial interview on site. Depending on this conversation, one or more follow up interviews may take place. If all conversations are positive and there is a mutual fit, you will receive a job offer. After acceptance, we are happy to welcome you to Robust.

    Can I also apply without all the required experience or diplomas?

    This strongly depends on the type of vacancy. We are always open to talent and motivation, and you are welcome to submit an open application. For some roles, specific diplomas or certificates are mandatory. If these requirements are clearly stated, applying without them is unfortunately not possible. When experience is listed as a plus rather than a requirement, we may still be interested even if you have less experience.

Personal development is actively encouraged, and commitment and ambition are recognized and rewarded. Everyone is given the opportunity to develop further and take the next step within the organization.

    Is it possible to work part time?

    We are open to both part time and full time positions. This does depend on the role, as some functions require full time availability. If you are unsure whether part time work is possible for a specific vacancy, we encourage you to apply and discuss the options.
