CAD designer - water infrastructure

Vacature CAD Designer Ports and Waterways

Work environment 

Water engineering is one of the product lines of Tractebel, specialised in port engineering and waterway infrastructure. The technical competences within our team cover the complete range of marine infrastructure: quay walls, locks, jetties, dikes, port expansion etc. Our team designs projects from feasibility, over conceptual and detailed design through owner's engineering, in close collaboration with our national and international clients.

To tackle the exciting challenges that lie ahead, we will strengthen our team with a motivated CAD designer with a passion for marine structures.
