Grants Adviser
We are looking for an enthusiastic Grants Adviser to join our team!
With your up-to-date knowledge of the latest grant instruments at European, Belgian (Flemish) and Dutch level, you will proactively advise the internal organisation and our clients on grant opportunities within the strategy of North Sea Port. You won't be doing that alone, of course, but working with the Public Affairs team.
- You enjoy immersing yourself in the international world of logistics chains, energy, climate, the circular economy, infrastructure and digitalisation and connect those areas to our port area.
- With your excellent writing and coordinating skills, you help write grant proposals. You provide guidance on every step of the process and help negotiate grant contracts if the grant is awarded. You make sure the grant implementation meets contractual requirements and follow up on reporting requirements for the projects assigned to you.
- Thanks to your proactive attitude, decision-makers are always up to date on the latest developments in our thriving port complex.
- You maintain ongoing relationships with granting awarding bodies at the European and national levels.
- Your networking skills make you our ideal representative on national and international working groups and platforms.

You are an enthusiastic, entrepreneurial networker with strong communication skills who excels working independently and in (multidisciplinary) teams. You feel at home in a dynamic port context where you and your colleagues push back boundaries to tackle the challenges of today and tomorrow. You are a real connector and thanks to your experience you know how to build support among internal and external stakeholders, create opportunities and seize them with both hands.
- You are educated to and operate at higher professional or university bachelor level, you have a relevant qualification and extensive experience in the world of grants and funds.
- You understand administrative, political and organisational relationships and you know how to identify your interests and translate them into practice.
