Communication Advisor Press & Content

Van Oord works on complex projects in the fields of maritime infrastructure, energy transition and climate adaptation. These projects attract attention. From media, from stakeholders and from society. In this role you stand at the heart of that dynamic field.

You are responsible for managing media relations and developing news driven content. You work closely with the Advisor Editorial, the Editorial Board and Business Unit communications. You translate strategy into stories that connect with the outside world. This role does not focus on first line spokesperson duties. Instead you operate strategically, advise leadership and ensure our messages are sharp, timely and relevant.

You are a communications professional with ambition. You combine sharp judgement with courage and curiosity. You enjoy being visible, building relationships and taking initiative.

A bachelor or university degree level of thinking and working

Excellent writing skills in Dutch and English

The confidence to build relationships with journalists and stay close to your audience

Affinity with maritime infrastructure, energy transition and climate adaptation

You switch smoothly between reactive press questions and proactive storytelling. You are politically and socially aware, entrepreneurial in your approach and a true team player who strengthens the people around you.

In this role you step into a treasure chest of meaningful stories and become a visible ambassador of a company that represents Dutch maritime excellence worldwide.
