Jouw collega’s

Jouw werkomgeving

The Concept Engineering Department at Tata Steel IJmuiden plays a key role in shaping investment decisions for capital projects. Our mission is to lead the process for and ensure optimal project selection that aligns with our Clean, Green and Circular strategy.

We focus on identifying and validating opportunities, translating them into well-defined projects with clear scopes and solid business cases. In close collaboration with users, technical experts, and external knowledge partners (e.g. universities, TSL), we explore multiple alternatives and select the most value-adding solution.

Our team acts as a strategic think tank within the engineering organization. We are conceptual thinkers, facilitators, and challengers—engineers who combine creativity with technical and business insight. By asking the right questions and thinking beyond conventional solutions, we lay the foundation for successful project execution.

We work in two key phases:

•    FEL 1 Appraise opportunity: Define the problem, assess feasibility, and identify viable alternatives.
•    FEL 2A Select scope: Evaluate those alternatives and select the best one based on criteria like cost, technical fit, and sustainability.

This way of working ensures that each investment contributes to Tata Steel’s transformation goals and long-term performance.
