About the Role
We are looking for an adaptable and self-driven Project Manager to join our growing team in the fire protection sector. This role is ideal for someone with experience (or a strong desire to develop) in fire safety systems - particularly sprinkler systems - and who thrives in a hands-on, dynamic project environment.
With a main base in the Netherlands and an additional office in Antwerp, you'll manage exciting logistics and warehouse projects valued between €200,000 and €4,000,000. Projects typically involve close collaboration with an internal design engineer and teams of 6-12 subcontractors on-site.
Key Responsibilities
- Plan, manage, and execute fire protection installation projects across the Netherlands and Belgium
- Coordinate with internal engineers for drawings and calculations
- Oversee subcontractors and installation crews on-site
- Liaise with clients and stakeholders to ensure timely delivery and quality
- Maintain budget control and manage project timelines
- Schedule regular site visits (typically 2-3 days per week of travel, 2-3 hours each way)
- Balance office presence (for team collaboration) with remote work flexibility
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Preferred: Experience with sprinkler systems, either from a competitor (e.g., Aqua Security, ESP Safety) or within the fire protection space
- Open to: Junior profiles with no direct experience but strong organizational skills and a willingness to learn
- Strong communication and problem-solving skills
- Ability to work independently and structure your own time effectively
- Dutch and/or English fluency
- Valid driving license (essential due to travel requirements)
What's on Offer
- Competitive salary: €4,000-€6,000/month
- Company car + fuel card
- Phone + standard tools for the role
- 13.92 months salary annually
- Excellent job stability in a financially sound business
- A "small family feel" team culture within a larger group (now 700+ employees after a recent merger with Pyronova)
- Consistent project pipeline despite wider sector challenges
