Project Manager

"Fugro gave me various options at every stop along the way and I had the freedom to choose in which direction I wanted to develop."
From an Engineer to a Project Manager
I used to be an Engineer before I jumped into a Party Chief role offshore. After a few years I felt I had spent enough time on board a vessel and was happy that I could move into the office. I started my role as a Project Manager and grew up the ranks.
As a Project Manager I have one role, but many jobs. I am also a Vessel Project Manager and find that quite exciting. I do not only look into the operations of the vessel but also manage offshore windfarms projects here in the North Sea. I had a lot of guidance and support during my career and find it important to do the same for others. Being a mentor -or a Guru, as it is called in my culture- to a mentee in Fugro is like handholding. I walk them through the company and the various departments. Ultimately, to make sure we get the best out of them.

Career decisions on the go
I could have taken a different role, like in research, a technical role or perhaps in the workshop. Fugro gave me various options at every stop on the way and I had the freedom to choose in which direction I wanted to develop. That’s the beauty of Fugro for me, it gives you opportunities.
