Project manager temporary water infrastructure

Help build critical water projects in industry, temporary housing and emergencies

At MTD, we provide temporary water infrastructure and treatment worldwide: from drinking water distribution to wastewater solutions. In our Flex business unit, we provide these solutions for projects in industry, temporary housing and emergency facilities, among others. These projects are often time-critical, technically challenging and require tight stakeholder management.

As Project Manager Flex, you are ultimately responsible for the successful realisation of your projects: from preparation and engineering coordination to execution, delivery, required maintenance and after-care. You are the central point of contact for both client and internal teams and bring structure to a growing environment. Mainly for projects within the Benelux and (sometimes) beyond.
