Projects
The projects you will be assigned to have a value from approx. €30 mio. and start with an offer to the client based on a feasibility study with budget prices. If a client wishes to proceed on this basis, successive design/engineering phases will be reimbursed, but the client can decide to stop the project at any time until construction starts. During these engineering/design phases, the level of detailing becomes finer and finer. Budgeting is based on quotes from subcontractors and suppliers.
Project procurement involves the selection of suppliers for tanks and process equipment (instrumentation, cabling, piping, etc.) and subcontractors for building construction and installation work.
In the tender and design phases, you first determine what materials and services are needed, look at developments in the market and then determine the procurement strategy, which you concretize in a project procurement plan. In that plan, risk management is an important aspect.
If the contract is awarded then you draft, negotiate and close agreements.
In the construction phase, you are escalation channel, provide contract management, deal with more/less work, etc. This is a smaller part of your job.
You will work closely with sales, project management, engineering during the tender and design phases. Your input is crucial in the execution of the projects.
