Ideally based in, or willing to commute easily within, the Leuven–Brussels–Limburg region.

A hands-on engineering role closely connected to live construction projects in Belgium.

A balanced working rhythm between construction sites and a central coordination location.

Exposure to a wide range of construction equipment and operational challenges.
