Project Secretary

Keeping international projects on course.

Major offshore projects require more than engineering. They also require structure, coordination and someone who makes sure nothing falls through the cracks. As a Project Secretary, you’ll play that central role.

No two days are the same. You provide administrative support to Project Managers, Engineers and client representatives working on complex offshore wind projects. You manage project administration, keep shared mailboxes organised and ensure that reports are prepared and distributed on time. You also arrange meetings, coordinate schedules and take care of the practical matters that keep projects running efficiently. Thanks to your structured way of working, your colleagues can focus on the technical challenges. You easily switch between different tasks, keep track of multiple priorities and remain organised under pressure. By paying attention to the details, you help the entire project stay on track.

You will be part of an international project team of around fifteen colleagues working on offshore wind projects. English is the working language, and collaboration is at the heart of everything you do. At the same time, you will have plenty of freedom to work independently and take ownership of your responsibilities. If you see a smarter way of working or want to develop yourself further, you will have every opportunity to do so. There is always time for a conversation and a laugh, but above all, we work together to deliver great results.

What do we expect from you?

• A completed MBO or HBO qualification, preferably in Business Administration or a similar administrative field.

• At least 2 years of experience as a (Project) Secretary or in a comparable administrative role.

• A structured and accurate way of working, even when managing multiple priorities.
