Junior Hydraulic Engineering Advisor

While you work on the water safety of the Netherlands, you will develop into an all-round advisor in the field of hydraulic engineering.

Have you just graduated and are you ready for the first step in your career? Then this position offers an excellent opportunity to further develop yourself within hydraulic engineering.

In this role, you will be trained as an advisor and will support governments, contractors, and project developers with various issues surrounding hydraulic structures and flood defenses. You will work on challenging projects that contribute directly to the water safety of the Netherlands, such as dike reinforcements, the assessment of flood defenses, and other complex hydraulic engineering tasks.

Within projects, you will contribute to various phases of the process, including assessments, plan studies, designs, and permitting processes. Additionally, you will be given the space to research together with colleagues how digitalization, data analysis, and smart technologies can be deployed to further improve and make our services in the field of assessment and analysis more efficient.

In this way, you combine technical content, innovation, and social impact in a position in which you can quickly develop yourself and gain valuable experience.

• Surprising clients with advice that is rock solid:

• Working on complex issues surrounding water safety:

• Diving into the technical content, while also organizing the work yourself:

• Collaborating in a group of young professionals:

• Learning from colleagues and further developing yourself in the field:

• Thinking about how you can improve work processes thanks to digitalization.

Examples of projects in the field of Hydraulic Engineering that our colleague Christiaan Tenthof van Noorden is working on are:

• Almere Duin: Our team developed not only the design of a dike, but also the development of a residential area disguised as a dune landscape. Read more here

• IJsselmeerdijk dike reinforcement: In this gigantic dike reinforcement, not only is the dike being strengthened, but a large nature reserve is being created at the same time. We have ensured that the work is largely carried out using sustainable, low-emission equipment.

• Innovative dike reinforcement techniques: Our team works extensively on innovative dike reinforcement techniques such as Trisoplast, deep plowing, and the JLD dike stabilizer. Read more here

• Digital innovations: Within the company, our team drives various digital innovations at the intersection of water safety and automation, such as the automatic assessment of high-risk objects in the dike. Read more here

You will work closely with colleagues within the Water advisory group, but also with specialists from other business lines. During your development trajectory, you will receive intensive guidance from an experienced colleague who acts as a coach and sparring partner. Additionally, it may occur that you are temporarily deployed at one of our clients. Therefore, we are looking for someone who is not only strong in content, but also establishes contact easily and works pleasantly with both clients and colleagues.

To give you a good start, you will follow an extensive 100-day onboarding. During this period, you will be assigned a fixed buddy who will show you the ropes within the organization and whom you can turn to with practical questions. Additionally, you will get to know colleagues from various teams and business lines and participate in training, introduction sessions, and knowledge sessions provided by HR and other colleagues. In this way, you will quickly gain insight into our organization, projects, and way of working, and build a valuable internal network from day one.

There are also plenty of opportunities to get to know colleagues better outside of work. Through our staff association and youth association, activities, networking meetings, and social events are regularly organized. This allows you to quickly feel at home within Antea Group and connect with colleagues from all over the country in an informal way.

• A completed relevant HBO or WO degree, for example in the direction of civil engineering, road and hydraulic engineering:

• An eager-to-learn attitude and interest in digitalization and innovation:

• Strong social and communication skills, allowing you to easily build relationships with clients and colleagues:

• The ability to translate complex issues into clear analyses, concrete plans, and practical solutions:

• An entrepreneurial attitude: you actively think along about new services and solutions that align with market needs.
