Job description

Do you enjoy working at an international start-up? Is it important for you to contribute to innovative products and do you thrive to make sustainable impact? If the answers are yes, you might have what it takes to be the next Medior Geotechnical Engineer in our team!

What do you do?

As a Geotechnical Engineer you participate in the product development team, which is responsible for the development of all future GBM Works products and services. Currently, the main responsibility of the team is the development of the Vibrojet® prototypes to be used in onshore as well as offshore conditions, for the installation of piles with an outer diameter ranging from 2.2m up to 9m. The theoretical soil model that will be used for the prototypes together with all the jetting parameters, that will accompany the prototypes, will be validated through laboratory tests performed under the supervision of our company.

Why choose GBM Works?

Suppose you work during an internship for an offshore contractor who builds offshore wind farms and learn that their ships and their installation methods are anything but sustainable. Marine life suffers from man's drive to replace fossil energy sources with sustainable ones, but the installation of infrastructure is light years behind. Then, as a young engineer, you design your own method.


5 years ago we started GBM Works. We developed a disruptive and innovative method to silently install foundations. Now, we are developing the tool, our Vibrojet®, for the next generation XXL monopiles used for wind energy offshore. Our patented method will solve major challenges in the offshore wind industry that are associated with the current method of ‘piling’ such as harmful noise to marine life, potential delays, fatigue damage in the pile, and scaling issues.

What do we offer?

  • Working together with an ambitious team on a sustainable future
  • A great place to work at ETCA Amsterdam
  • Hybrid working
  • An experience-based salary
  • NS Business Card
  • Laptop and mobile phone
  • 25 paid holiday days
