Main project leader

Function

What does your job entail?

• As Lead Project Manager Buildings, you take overall charge of complex renovation and restoration projects in the province of East Flanders, from preparation and concept phase through to completion.
• The project planning takes shape under your direction: you align staff, materials, subcontractors and suppliers so that every site progresses in a manageable and efficient manner.
• You coach project managers, foremen and operational staff, provide clear direction and create the conditions in which professional knowledge and responsibility can grow.
• You monitor quality, safety, timing and budget closely. By making timely adjustments, you limit risks and deliver results that clients and colleagues can rely on.
• As the central point of contact, you maintain professional client relationships, chair site meetings and represent the organisation with construction partners, suppliers and other stakeholders.
• Financial monitoring is also part of your responsibility: you manage budgets and profitability, compare prices, negotiate terms and oversee progress statements and reporting.
• You keep project administration and technical documentation in order and coordinate the overarching planning within your area of responsibility.
• With your experience as a project manager, you identify opportunities for alternative working methods, energy-efficient renovations and new techniques that make execution safer, more efficient or more sustainable.

• You combine technical insight with strong organisational ability: you maintain an overview, set priorities and translate plans into concrete actions on site.
• Clear communication and calm leadership are important, as you bring different teams and partners into alignment, provide feedback and create support for decisions.
• You work responsibly and with a forward-thinking mindset.
• Safety, quality, planning and financial control form the basis for you, whilst you remain open to improvement and innovation.
