Lead Document Controller

Our client is looking for a skilled Lead Document Controller to oversee and manage document control activities for a major engineering project within the energy infrastructure sector. This is a senior-level, English-speaking position based at their office in South-West of the Netherlands, where you will operate as both a team leader and a hands-on contributor.

As Lead Document Controller, you will be responsible for coordinating a team of 5–8 document control professionals (ultimately 6–7 FTE), ensuring the seamless management and flow of technical documentation across a multidisciplinary engineering environment. You will play a key role in structuring, monitoring, and safeguarding the quality and consistency of documentation across all project phases.

This is a highly collaborative role, requiring daily interaction with engineering, planning, and project management teams. You’ll be embedded in a fast-paced project environment that spans approximately 200,000 man-hours and involves infrastructure development in the German Wadden Sea area—comparable in scale to a 2.2 GW project. The project’s complexity demands a structured, detail-oriented leader who thrives in managing high volumes of documentation while balancing team coordination and stakeholder communication.
