Technical consultant (Rotterdam)

Engineering is entering a new era.

AI, automation, and software are rapidly changing how engineering work gets done. But in most engineering organizations, the reality is still fragmented: valuable knowledge is locked in spreadsheets, scripts, documents, models, and individual experts. Critical workflows depend on manual checks, disconnected tools, and repetitive project work. AI has huge potential, but without the right platform it remains hard to apply safely, reliably, and at scale in real engineering processes. That is exactly what VIKTOR is built for.

Now we are looking for a Technical Consultant who wants to work at the intersection of engineering, AI, software, and client impact.

The role

You come from engineering. You have spent a few years doing real project work and you know exactly how fragmented the toolchain is in most organizations. You understand the daily reality: switching between systems that do not talk to each other, rebuilding the same calculations project after project, and watching knowledge disappear when someone leaves the organization.

Now you want to do something with that understanding beyond delivering one project after another.

As a Technical Consultant at VIKTOR, you work directly with engineering firms, contractors, and asset owners such as BAM, Heijmans, and Arcadis. You get into their workflows, find the real bottlenecks, and help them build tools that connect systems, automate repetitive calculations, and scale expertise across teams and projects. The results are measurable: engineering hours saved, material use reduced, project costs lowered, quality improved. The applications you help build run on real projects, including major infrastructure, offshore wind, and industrial construction.

What matters most in this role is that you understand how engineers actually work: the tools they use, the integrations that fail, the workarounds that have built up over years, and the workflows that nobody has ever properly documented. That understanding is what allows you to identify where automation genuinely helps and where it does not.

The role also requires Python skills, not at software developer level, but enough to build and adapt engineering applications on the VIKTOR platform. If you have used Python to automate calculations or connect data between systems, that is the right foundation.

You also feed what you learn back into VIKTOR. Because you are close to clients and close to the actual engineering work, you see things the product team cannot see from the inside. That perspective is valuable and you are expected to use it.

What you’ll do

• Build and implement engineering automation tools together with client teams, translating fragmented workflows into connected, scalable applications on the VIKTOR platform
• Advise clients on how to structure workflows, connect their existing tools, apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) safely, and scale their internal knowledge across projects and teams
• Identify where automation and AI can create real value inside client organizations and contribute to growing those opportunities
• Translate what you see in the field into clear product feedback that improves the platform
• Keep projects on track in terms of planning, scope, and communication

Why this role matters

This is not a traditional engineering consultancy role.

You will not spend your time only producing reports, calculations, or project deliverables. You will help engineers change the way they work. You will help leading engineering organizations move from manual processes, isolated tools, and AI experiments to scalable AI powered engineering workflows with proper governance: version control, access management, and auditability built in. You will work with Python, automation, AI, simulation, software integrations, and domain knowledge to build applications that have real impact on real projects.

At VIKTOR, you are close to the client, close to the product, and close to the future of engineering. This role is for engineers who want to use their background to build something that has a measurable impact on how the industry works.

At VIKTOR, most of the team comes from engineering. We have worked in the same organizations and on the same types of projects as our clients. That background is what makes the difference.
