Job description

Nouvall wil ervoor zorgen dat industriële projecten een succes worden! Het is dan ook onze missie om betrokken, betrouwbare en deskundige dienstverlening te bieden, om zo van maximaal toegevoegde waarde te zijn voor onze opdrachtgevers en voor de professionals die we inzetten. Dit doen we door ons te verdiepen in onze kandidaten en in onze opdrachtgevers en hun klanten. Hierdoor kunnen we meedenken en anticiperen om zo een partnership op te bouwen met opdrachtgevers en professionals. Met als resultaat, het inzetten van gemotiveerde en deskundige specialisten en de realisatie van (project)doelstellingen.

Ontwikkelingen op industrieel gebied staan niet stil. Sterke investeringsgroei wisselt zich af met plotseling stagnerende vraag. Bovendien worden projecten steeds groter, complexer en vragen deze om meer specialistische knowhow. Voor kortere of langere periodes. Deze ontwikkelingen zorgen ervoor dat opdrachtgevers steeds meer behoefte hebben aan flexibiliteit. Hierdoor geven opdrachtgevers steeds vaker de voorkeur aan de inzet van externe specialisten voor de ondersteuning van projecten boven eigen grote projectteams met eigen (vaste) medewerkers.

This role gives you the opportunity to lead and evolve the architecture practice for application and technology domains, ensuring their alignment with enterprise-wide strategy.
