Experience as a permit advisor, permit issuer, supervisor, or in a similar position (preferably Water Act and/or Wabo);
Experience with permit issuance within Rijkswaterstaat, water boards, or other government bodies is a plus;

Nice to have

A completed HBO or WO degree, for example in Environmental Science, Urban Planning, Environmental Law, or Land and Water Management;

The role

Do you want to apply your knowledge of laws and regulations to a safer and more sustainable Netherlands? As a permit advisor, you will work on challenging projects for, among others, Rijkswaterstaat and water boards, making an impact on the living environment.

What you'll do

As a permit advisor (permit issuer), you will assess and grant permits on behalf of, among others, Rijkswaterstaat and water boards for various projects. You will conduct preliminary consultations with initiators, assess applications, and ensure that permits are granted carefully, timely, and legally correctly. Thanks to your knowledge of the Environment Act and relevant laws and regulations, you will enable spatial developments and limit risks of delay, postponement, or the halting of projects.

Contributing to a safer, more sustainable, and future-proof Netherlands by working on projects such as dike reinforcements, nature development, and the energy transition;
Assessing permit applications and notifications;
Advising on issues within the Environment Act;
Conducting expert consultations with initiators and stakeholders;

You will work on permits for, among other things:

Restricted area activities regarding water management works and roads managed by the State;
Activities based on the Road Traffic Act and Shipping Traffic Act;
Complex permit issues within the Environment Act.

Good to know: thanks to our long-term cooperation with Rijkswaterstaat and water boards, you will work on projects that literally change the Netherlands. Think of the expansion of Amsterdam and Almere, WFD projects, dike reinforcements, and the expansion of the electricity grid.

Depending on your experience and ambitions, you can combine this position with the role of Permits Manager. This way, we can together create a job package that suits you.

What we would like to see:

You work accurately, possess strong communication skills, and know how to clearly translate complex laws and regulations into practice;
You switch easily between different interests and maintain an overview, even in complex permit processes.
