About Haskoning
At Haskoning, you will join an independent, employee-owned international consultancy that combines engineering, design, and consultancy services with software and technology. Our mission, "Enhancing Society Together," drives us to create a positive impact on the world.
We offer purpose-driven and challenging work in diverse international projects, leveraging our 145+ years of expertise. With over 6,800 employees in more than 25 countries, we work together to turn challenges into opportunities and make a real impact on society.
About Our Maritime Team
Our Maritime team are at the forefront of innovative maritime planning, design, and development. We are multi-disciplinary experts who work on international projects to create successful ports and maritime infrastructure worldwide. We have provided expert commercial, technical, and operational advice and created master plans across five continents for a wide range of port projects.
We are one of the largest and most experienced teams of port planning professionals globally, and we are world leaders in the production of port feasibility studies and master plans.
About Our Commercial Services Team
Our Commercial Services team delivers a wide variety of work across our entire Water & Maritime business line, with assistance also provided to our other business lines [Industry & Buildings, and Mobility & Infrastructure]. Whilst based in the UK, our team supports projects globally, and because of this and our continued success with our clients, we are looking to grow our team.
Working in the Commercial Services team means being willing to use your existing knowledge and think outside of the box, finding solutions for our clients with complex cost or contractual problems for highly bespoke projects often in remote parts of the world. Working with Engineering teams around the world creates a unique opportunity to share information and knowledge, creating a huge opportunity for personal growth as well as growing the team and business.
Due to this unique mix of domestic and international projects, team members are flexible in their approach to working and can work around the challenges of working globally. The commercial team regularly provide support to clients in different time zones, creating opportunity and challenges.
Whilst finding the right person that fits the team is hugely important to us rather than finding a person that fits a defined grade or role, but we are still looking for a person that combines strong technical estimating capabilities with extensive practical contract knowledge. We recognise that people are integral to the success of the team and finding the right person to join the team means we would be flexible in which UK office would be your ‘home office.’
