Overview of the Vacancy

Location, Sector, and Role Context

Within the Technical Projects - Operations department, the Project Manager High Voltage supports the High Voltage team as projects are developed and organised. The assignment includes work associated with fitting out high-voltage stations and switching posts.

Delivery involves keeping the agreed objectives, timetable and budget in view while applying the organisation’s methodology and its quality and safety standards. The post is based in Schelle, in Flanders’ Antwerp Province.

Day-to-day responsibility extends beyond planning. The manager maintains working relationships with customers, subcontractors and suppliers, while overseeing administrative and commercial matters and legal matters when they arise in a project. Invoicing plans, payment follow-up, contract interpretation and the treatment of change all require close attention. The role also links with other departments to preserve continuity and to support quality, safety and environmental care systems. A background managing sizeable, complex projects, together with cost-calculation and financial-settlement experience, aligns with the breadth of this position.
