Thanks to your work, projects are won and successfully delivered in sectors where risk and continuity matter. Think of transport and infrastructure (for example the 2nd Coentunnel), government (such as the Municipality of Amstelveen), and healthcare (such as the Red Cross Hospital in Beverwijk and Meander Medical Centre in Amersfoort).

  • Prepare quotations and tender documents
  • Maintain contact with suppliers and clients for technical alignment and pricing information
  • Analyse market and cost data and optimise calculation processes
  • Contribute to concept development and technical innovation within the field
  • Ensure clear handover to the execution project team after contract award
  • Prepare and monitor the presales process
  • Follow up on market trends

What do you bring?

  • HBO (Bachelor’s) working and thinking level in a technical field (e.g. electrical engineering or installation engineering)
  • Extensive experience in calculating integrated security systems
  • Knowledge of security technology and motivation to further develop in this area
  • Structured way of working, ability to distinguish main and secondary issues, and manage scope and demarcation
  • Clear communication skills and ability to explain complex technical topics in an understandable way

If you see yourself in this role but do not meet everything, still apply. We are happy to explore what is possible together.
