Global Mobility & Tax Compliance Specialist

We are Huisman. We develop step changing technical solutions and translate these into the design and construction of the largest construction equipment. For decades, we have been working all over the world for offshore wind, geothermal, oil & gas, leisure and civil industries.

With our passionate workforce and worldwide production, service & sales facilities we are equipped for impact in these times of energy transition.

In this role, you will take ownership of complex international relocation and assignment cases and actively contribute to the further development and professionalisation of our global mobility framework.

You are responsible for the full spectrum of international mobility activities: from advising the business at the start of an assignment to immigration, taxation, social security, employment conditions and relocation support.

Your expertise strengthens the consistency, effectiveness and compliance of global mobility within Huisman.

Key responsibilities
As the first point of contact for business representatives and assignees, you advise line managers, HR-teams and Talent Acquisition Partners on relocation packages, timelines, financial implications and policy application.

You review and prepare cost projections and coordinate the full lifecycle of international assignments (project-based, short-term and long-term). This includes immigration and tax arrangements, social security matters, relocation and settling-in support, schooling and partner assistance, and ensuring compliance with local laws and regulations.

You guide employees and their families on policy and expectations and ensure payroll teams receive accurate and timely instructions regarding pay adjustments and reimbursements.

In addition, you manage your own portfolio of cases and vendors, collaborate with global stakeholders and actively contribute to operational improvements within the mobility function.

What can you expect from the role of Global Mobility & Tax Compliance Specialist within Huisman?
In this role, you ensure that employees can work worldwide in a well-prepared, compliant and structured manner. At the same time, you contribute to managing the (tax) obligations arising from the global deployment of employees.

Your responsibilities include:

• Setting up and coordinating international assignments;
