Ingenious on water

Van Oord is a leading contractor when it comes to dredging, hydraulic engineering and offshore projects. For over a century, the company has been contributing to what it describes as ‘the infrastructure of tomorrow’s world’.

Deepening a canal to improve access to a major port, creating an island to protect the coastline, putting wind turbines in the sea to generate energy. These are just a few examples of projects Van Oord does.

Each of these projects requires marine ingenuity, or naval ingenuity. And that requires initiative-loving employees who keep a cool head and know how to find the right solution in the most compelling circumstances.

With its employer branding and recruitment, Van Oord therefore focuses on that type of (new) colleague. In videos and photography, we portray the company’s exciting projects and entrepreneurial attitude.

From the culture, you notice not only that innovation and perseverance are important at Van Oord. You also notice that it is a family business. First and foremost, it is all about the people. Therefore, the images exude that. Those who can identify with the images and see a challenge in the projects will have a good new employer in Van Oord.
