Van OordESG & Sustainability Jobs

Dutch marine contractor building offshore wind farms, coastal protection, and dredging infrastructure worldwide

Van Oord is a Dutch marine contracting company with over 155 years of history. It designs and executes large-scale projects in dredging, land reclamation, coastal protection, and offshore energy infrastructure, serving governments, port authorities, and energy developers around the world.

Why it matters

A significant share of Van Oord's work directly supports the energy transition and climate adaptation. The company installs foundations, cables, and structures for some of the world's largest offshore wind farms, and builds coastal and flood-protection works that help communities adapt to rising sea levels and extreme weather. These are physical, engineering-heavy contributions to both decarbonization and climate resilience - not just commitments on paper.

Van Oord is family-owned and operates a large specialist fleet globally. ESG roles at the company - such as ESG Coordinator - sit within project operations and focus on managing environmental and social performance across active construction sites and regional business units.
