Profile

For this role, our client is looking for someone with experience who is technically proficient and enjoys working on renovation projects. You don’t need to be a highly experienced professional, but you must be able to switch easily between analysis, communication and practical implementation.

The ideal candidate will possess a combination of technical knowledge, a willingness to learn and a service-oriented attitude. You work with precision, ask questions where necessary and thrive in an environment where substance and collaboration go hand in hand.

• A degree in architecture, civil engineering or a related technical discipline.
• An interest in renovation projects, comprehensive refurbishments and the technical complexity of existing buildings.
• Knowledge of, or an interest in, bills of quantities, specifications, terms of reference and the preparation of technical documentation.
• Ability to provide clear, professional and timely information to clients and colleagues.
• Strong organisational skills and a structured approach to work.
• Technical knowledge of stability, construction methods and fire safety would be an advantage.
• A basic knowledge of Archicad is an advantage, but not a requirement.
• You have strong communication skills, a practical mindset and are able to work well with a draughtsman and the project team.
• A Category B driving licence is an advantage; travel is mainly to Hasselt, Antwerp and Leuven.
• Interested in a salaried position, with the possibility of working on a self-employed basis by mutual agreement.

You are someone who is not afraid to take on responsibility, but who also recognises when consultation is needed. Technical expertise and a good personal rapport are just as important for this role as experience.
