  • You coordinate the follow up of the internal project management specifications and manage the project management (administrative) requirements for our (main) suppliers.
  • You liaise with peers and contract partners to ensure that lessons learned and best practices are captured and applied consistently across the 2GW program and future projects.
  • You help shape and roll out PMO tools and processes, contributing to the continuous improvement of TenneT’s large-scale project execution.
  • You contribute as a member of the MT to strategic direction setting, performance monitoring and decision making to achieve the goals of the Cluster Eemshaven.
