PMO Officer

Make your mark as a PMO Officer at Boskalis!

As a PMO Officer, you play a central role in driving the successful delivery of our IT project portfolio. You bring structure, insight, and control to a dynamic environment where multiple projects run simultaneously. Working closely with the PPO Manager, Portfolio Manager, and a team of 14 Project Managers, you ensure that projects stay on track in terms of progress, budget, and quality.

You are the one who connects the dots: you run project reviews, challenge where needed, and make sure reporting is accurate and consistent. By identifying risks and deviations early, you enable better decision-making and help keep the portfolio aligned with strategic objectives. At the same time, you support and guide Project Managers in maintaining high standards, contributing to a professional and continuously improving project organization.
