At Den Breejen Shipyard, shipbuilding is in our blood. Founded in 1947 and located in Hardinxveld-Giessendam ever since, we have grown to become a key player in the inland shipping sector, both for new construction, repairs, and refits. Our specialization in the construction of river cruise ships has gained us international recognition. We design, develop, and build fully 'custom-built' vessels and are based in a modern facility with a well-equipped company site (including outfitting quays and dry docks) directly adjacent to the Merwede River, one of the main waterways in the Netherlands. Den Breejen stands for quality and commitment, and the company culture is informal, open, people-oriented, and pragmatic.
In this role, you will be responsible for the engineering and work preparation for newbuild ships and/or existing ships, focusing mainly on the mechanical engineering side. You will create ship designs, check and develop them. Additionally, you will be responsible for setting up, developing, and checking the main and auxiliary systems (ship propulsion, HVAC, mechanical and electrical installations), along with the corresponding diagrams and overview drawings. Depending on the project phase, you will work closely with our commercial department, project manager, and/or production. You are eager to learn and not only want to develop yourself but are also interested in further exploring new technologies, such as sustainability in shipping.
