Organisation

As a Project Manager for the Food & Process Industry, you will be joining an international engineering and consultancy firm that supports companies with technical investment projects. The Belgian organisation is highly active in the field of industrial engineering, with significant expertise in the food & beverage sector, as well as projects in the pharmaceutical industry and other manufacturing environments.

For example, clients call on the company when they wish to build or expand a factory, install a new production line, or automate, optimise or make existing production processes more sustainable.

The organisation can oversee the entire technical process: from feasibility studies and concept design through to engineering, tendering, site supervision, commissioning and final handover. To this end, various disciplines – such as process, mechanical, piping, electrical and automation – work together within multidisciplinary project teams.

The projects are spread across Flanders. As a result, you’ll regularly be working on site at clients’ premises and won’t have to work from a fixed office every day.
