Site manager Benelux
Vertiv · Amsterdam
POSITION SUMMARY
As a Site Coordinator based in the Netherlands, you will report to the Project Delivery Leader – Benelux while working closely alongside Project Managers on site to support the successful delivery and commissioning of critical infrastructure projects. Your primary focus will be on our GSA’s (Global Strategic Account), where you will be embedded on-site to drive day-to-day coordination of installation and commissioning activities across multiple Lines of Business (Thermal, Electrical, Integrated system solutions).
In addition to your GSA responsibilities, you will collaborate with Project Managers across the Benelux region on other client projects as required — assisting with scheduling, logistics coordination, subcontractor management, and site-based activities.
You are the operational link between the project management delivery team and the site — ensuring that plans translate into action, dependencies are identified and unblocked early, and that nothing falls through the cracks. You thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and take ownership of your responsibilities without needing to be chased.

- Champion a strong H&S culture on-site at all times, ensuring compliance with local Dutch H&S legislation (Arbowet), client site rules, and Vertiv HSE standards.
- Support workplace inspections, toolbox talks, subcontractor safety audits, and verify valid inductions, permits, and certifications for all personnel on site.
