Your opportunity
We are seeking an Expeditor for a project-based position (1 year). As an Expeditor, you will play a vital role in ensuring that materials, equipment, and documentation move smoothly through the procurement and project execution process. You will be part of a dynamic Contracts & Procurement team — a group that acts as a strategic partner to the business rather than a supporting function. Your work will directly contribute to the success of complex offshore projects by safeguarding timely deliveries and proactive communication with internal and external stakeholders.
This role is a great fit for a communicative, hands-on professional who enjoys coordinating with suppliers, solving logistical challenges, and keeping projects on track.
What you will do
- Coordinate with suppliers to ensure materials and equipment are delivered in line with Purchase Order requirements
- Monitor project schedules and identify any risks of delay, taking corrective action where needed
- Participate in supplier kick-off meetings to align expectations, technical requirements, and timelines
- Participate in pre-award or bid clarification meetings with suppliers
- Expedite orders through both desk-based and field activities to maintain project progress
- Follow up on supplier documentation, ensuring timely submission and review
- Communicate regularly with project managers, engineers, inspectors, and procurement colleagues
- Flag deviations or issues in Purchase Order execution and collaborate with stakeholders to find solutions
- Support document and workflow management throughout the procurement cycle
Where you will work
With this trusted client in the Amsterdam area, we have a long-lasting relationship. It is a privately owned company that delivers floating energy solutions and complex mooring equipment to the global oil & gas and renewables industries. Besides having proven capabilities in engineering and developing installations for harsh offshore conditions, they own and operate their own fleet of FPSOs. A welcoming organization in which people with the right pro-active attitude will get opportunities to proof themselves and grow.
- Challenging engineering environment, particularly in developing equipment for extreme offshore conditions
- Organization with cooperative mind-set and open communication style, which allows for professional progress
- Drive for new technologies in floating sustainable energy solutions
- For the size of the projects, a relatively small multi-disciplinary engineering team, with a focus on conceptual and basic design
- Combining in one close-knit company: EPCI contractor and offshore fleet-owner-operator
What you already have
- +10 years of experience as an Expeditor within EPC oil & gas projects, offshore or complex engineering environments
- Knowledge of INCOTERMS and familiarity with project planning processes
- Experience with document control systems and workflow management tools
- Great communication in English and social skills, to be able to build strong relationships
- Experience coordinating across multiple project disciplines.
Your benefits
- Contract duration: estimated 1 year
- Start in January 2026
- 30 paid holidays per year for an excellent work-life balance
- Covered commuting and interviewing costs
- Business Travel Insurance
- Basic Dutch course, so you will understand the Dutch jokes during the coffee break
- Access to social gatherings, lectures, and events, so you will meet like-minded friends within the Dutch Maritime Industry. We also offer you a 1-year membership of KNVTS, Royal Dutch Association of Marine Engineers.
