What do you do? Generate access to sustainable water.
As Project Engineer, your main area of focus will be to built our units at our office next to the beach in the harbor of Scheveningen. Once the units are transported to the client’s location, you will also be involved in commissioning the technology on-site and providing a training for operation to the client.

As of such, experience with CAD-programs is desired and you are comfortable with P&ID’s.
Together with our other project engineers, you will be responsible to place and check the orders at our partners/OEM’s, prepare and built skids & containerized desalination units that can be powered by solar energy, and execute these projects on-site. This will likely involve trips abroad for a couple of days to several weeks at a time.

- You enjoy working with tools, building something tangible
- Long-distance travel in economy class is no problem and you are comfortable being overseas
- You work precisely and are comfortable working with instructions
- Capable of managing a variety of projects from start to finish simultaneously
- You have the ability to turn ideas into actions and think in solutions instead of problems.
- You are comfortable working independently on-site in unknown environments, either at luxurious resorts, private islands or remote underdeveloped communities
- You have a sensitivity of the client’s need and are able to represent our organization abroad
- You understand differences in culture and approach on islands
- Excellent communication skills in English and at least one more language, both verbal and written, being able to communicate on different levels and with different audiences

Who are we?
Already 4 billion people face water scarcity. The key to get access to more water lies in the sea.

sea & sun. They are active >14 countries worldwide to ensure a clean water supply for water scarce islands & coastal regions
and have won various Awards for their innovative technology. They were recently nominated as Dutch National Icon.

Our clients are located on fresh water scarce islands globally and consist of resorts, municipalities, communities, industries and
private island owners. We are already active in the Caribbean, Africa & Asia. As these end-users are very dispersed and difficult
to reach, connecting with our end-users through online marketing and social media platforms is essential to continue to make
positive impact. We are looking for someone to reach out, manage and continually optimize our marketing campaigns. You will
work closely with management to review and improve the marketing strategy and further develop our brand identity.
Who are you?
You can expect a vibrant office with lots of guidance. The niche market is complex, but we will help you understand it and will take
you through the unique selling points. Experience in online marketing and search engine optimization is a plus. We like you to
think out of the box, be analytical and have language skills. We definitely encourage independence, initiative and persuasion skills.
Does making a positive impact on the environment, through the creation of new marketing campaigns provide you with
motivation? Do you want to get a taste of what it is like to offer a cleantech solution in the water-energy nexus from a small
ambitious office in a global playing field? Then we look forward to hearing from you.
Dutch expertise. Global impact.
