International Project Engineer

Do you thrive on bringing complex technical projects to life with unique technology and engineering, that we as Belgians can be proud of?  

Do you want to be a part of a company that makes a tangible difference in sustainability, all over the world? And do you want to do all of this in a scaleup where you’ll work hard, have lots of fun, and still can balance your private life with your work life? 

Then you might be exactly the person we’d like  to meet. 

 

About Fiberflux

Fiberflux is a one-of-a-kind Belgian scale-up that develops innovative installation systems and pipeline components to deploy fiber optic cables inside drinking water pipelines. 

And what makes us even more unique is what happens next.  

Using Fiber Optic Sensing technology paired with advanced monitoring software, we transform those optical fibers into intelligent sensors that can detect leaks, intrusions, and anomalies in real time by analyzing acoustic patterns inside and around pipelines.  

In other words: the work we do directly contributes to solving one of the world’s biggest sustainability challenges: water conservation. 

Our commercial hub is based in the vibrant Wintercircus startup ecosystem in Ghent, while our technical workshop and logistics operations are currently located in Puurs-Sint-Amands. In 2028, we will be moving all of our operations to Ghent.  

We’re growing internationally, moving fast, and building technology that quite literally does not exist anywhere else. 

Our awesome team consists of 7 people and we have the ambition to grow the team with at least 5 people this year. And with further growth to come.  

And that’s where you come in.
 

We will call you our Project Delivery Engineer, because basically, you will own the delivery  starting from the technical presales track up to the on-site execution.  You will become one of the key players in making sure our technology works not only on paper, but also out in the field, inside operational and critical water infrastructures across the globe. 

You are the bridge between engineering and implementation. The person who sees both the technical big picture and the practical reality on-site. You keep projects moving, align stakeholders, and ensure that installations keep running smoothly That is how you make sure our customers feel confident that they are in expert hands. 

 

What you will get to sink your teeth into  

As Project Delivery Engineer, you’ll be involved from the very first technical assessment of a project to the moment an installation is running on-site. One week, you may be working out the feasibility, budget and execution plan for a new international project. A few weeks later, you could be working side-by-side next to a local partner in Dubai, Rio de Janeiro or anywhere else, making sure everything comes together exactly as it should. 

You’ll take ownership of the full project delivery flow: 

  • Turn technical opportunities into executable projects.
    You assess technical feasibility, define the high-level budget, translate it into a detailed calculation and build a clear execution plan.  
  • Prepare international installations from A to Z.
    You coordinate the technical preparations, planning, logistics, materials, customer communication and partner alignment before anything happens on-site.  
  • Lead the delivery on the ground.
    You regularly travel to project sites, in Belgium and abroad, to supervise installations and support local teams. Sometimes that means being away for 2 to 4 weeks at a time, right where the action is.  

With the expertise you build up, you will become a trusted advisor for both customers and partners. This will leave you in the unique position to identify lessons learned and help us improve our technical solutions and processes. You’ll get the chance to not only execute projects but also to make a lasting impact on our way of working, the growth and future of Fiberflux.  

 

What you’ll love about working here?  

  • A no-nonsense, fun and hard working international engineering environment that gives you the opportunity to make your ideas count and have real impact.  
  • A key role in an innovative and growing scale up with a diverse job content (80% project work, 20% new development).  
  • The possibility to travel and see the world.  
  • Real personal growth possibilities. Either you grow to become our technical guru or you become our delivery management rockstar, or anything else is negotiable.  
  • Full salary package including a car or mobility budget, a profit sharing bonus, insurances, personal development budget, etc.  
  • Flexible working environment with focus on a good life balance (our founders know what it is to work internationally with kids).  

 

Who we’re looking for 

If you’re still reading enthusiastically at this point, chances are we’re already a pretty good match 😊 

A few things that will help you thrive in this role:  

  • OK, so you’re a real technical gal or guy; you have a background in industrial engineering, mechanics, construction, electromechanics, … have experience in piping or hydraulics. Great! Of course you’ll get the opportunity to fully get to grips with the technology we have developed. 
  • You get a true kick out of getting sh*t done! Be it in the rain, deep in the jungle, or at 50° Celsius in the desert, you are the one that makes stuff work, time & time again. For this you have solid technical knowledge and project management skills, and the flexibility and ingenuity to solve the issues that cross your path (and oh yes, there will be issues 😊)   
  • Next to all this, you must love working and communicating with people. Because one day you are giving instructions to a Spanish foreman right after his siesta, and the other week you have a kick of meeting with a project manager in Japan.  You master English perfectly, but believe us, not everyone you work with will speak it fluently and you will have to make do. If you speak any other languages, this is considered a great plus!  
  • At home we speak Dutch, so whether you speak it in “’T Gentsch” or in “’t Aantwaarps”, we don’t mind, we just need you to express yourself. 
  • Of course you have to be able to get around and sometimes with a lot of stuff too, so you must have a category B driver’s license. If you have a  B+E this is a plus.
