Junior Civil Designer | Urban Development

• 30 days of leave with full-time employment, with the possibility to buy or sell extra days.
• Employees may use the NS business card for private use free of charge.
• Additional arrangements for partner parental leave and paid parental leave.
• Possibility for hybrid working, facilitated by an appropriate home office allowance and a professionally equipped workspace at home.
• Good pension scheme with the Dutch Pension Fund (HNPF), where Arcadis pays the largest part of the premium.
• Opportunities to follow courses and training, access to our extensive Arcadis Learning Experience Platform (LXP).

As a junior civil designer, you will work on diverse area development and infrastructure projects in built environments. You will deal with civil engineering challenges regarding roads and infrastructure, public space, ground levels, water and sewerage, cables and pipelines, and making areas ready for construction and residential use.

You will work together with experienced civil engineers, design leaders, and colleagues from fields such as mobility, urban design, sustainability, spatial planning, contract management, and project management. Through this, you will learn how different disciplines come together within one integrated design. You will be involved in various project phases, from the initial sketches and design choices to the technical elaboration towards realization.

Within Arcadis, you will be given the space to further develop your professional knowledge, gain practical experience, and work on projects with increasing independence.

• You will contribute to civil engineering designs in both 2D and 3D for area development and infrastructure projects.
• You will learn to translate spatial plans and client requests into technically feasible and executable solutions.
• You will support the elaboration of design variants and the substantiation of design choices.

Additionally, you will coordinate designs with designers, modelers, and specialists from other disciplines. You will support the preparation of drawings, estimates, technical descriptions, and other project documents. You will participate in project meetings and design discussions and will have the opportunity to get to know projects on location as well. You will also contribute to knowledge sharing and think along about themes such as sustainability, climate adaptation, and digitalization.

You enjoy collaborating with colleagues from different technical disciplines and have a proactive, eager-to-learn, and solution-oriented attitude. You are open to guidance and want to further develop yourself within the civil engineering design profession.

The international character of Arcadis offers plenty of opportunities to gain knowledge and experience. You therefore find it interesting and educational to also collaborate (digitally) with and learn from colleagues elsewhere in the world.

Urban Development Advisory Group
Within Urban Development, we work on projects that shape the Netherlands for future generations. With approximately 80 colleagues, we develop, among other things, sustainable residential areas, innovative campuses, energy infrastructure, and new economic clusters.

We help governments, developers, and private parties to translate complex spatial ambitions into feasible, integrated, and future-proof solutions. In doing so, we connect strategic advice with design, engineering, and project management, and we guide projects from the initial vision through to realization.

Our team is characterized by ambition, entrepreneurship, and collaboration. You will work in multidisciplinary project teams alongside experts in the fields of mobility, sustainability, economics, spatial planning, area development, and civil engineering.

Within Urban Development, we combine the flexibility of hybrid working with the energy of collaborating in the office. We meet regularly at our office in 's-Hertogenbosch to develop ideas, share knowledge and experiences, and make room for informal contact and the Brabantse gezelligheid that characterizes our team. Furthermore, you will work from home, and of course, you are always welcome at one of the other Arcadis offices in the Netherlands!

We actively invest in your professional development. Through mentoring, professional knowledge sessions, project reviews, and team days, we learn from each other and further develop our field. In this way, you not only work on the cities and regions of tomorrow, but also on your own growth within Arcadis.

Projects
The projects within Urban Development vary from large-scale energy infrastructure and inner-city area development to campuses, residential areas, area access, and industry. A number of concrete projects planned for 2027:

TenneT Substations
Within one of Europe's largest energy transition projects, we are working on the spatial integration, engineering, and realization of new substations that connect offshore wind energy to the Dutch high-voltage grid. In doing so, we make an important contribution to the sustainability of the Dutch energy supply.

Knowledge Quarter Tilburg
In Tilburg-West, we are contributing to the development of the Knowledge Quarter, where approximately 7,500 homes are combined with education, space for work, greenery, and mobility facilities. Within this area development, diverse spatial and technical challenges come together. A project in which you discover how civil engineering design contributes to the development of a new urban district.

ASML Campus Development
For ASML, we are working on the integrated development of the high-tech campus in the Brainport region. We connect mobility, infrastructure, and public space to enable further growth and good accessibility. Here you will see how civil engineering design is linked to the development of a campus.

Multimodal Hub Eindhoven
Around the NS station Eindhoven Centraal, we are working on a future-proof public transport hub with good connections for trains, buses, bicycles, pedestrians, and shared mobility. Within Urban Development, we contribute to the civil and traffic engineering design of the public space and infrastructure, in conjunction with other disciplines such as architecture, mobility, urban design, landscape, and water. In this way, you contribute to the accessibility and layout of an important hub in the Brainport region.

Bravis Hospital Roosendaal
Around the new Bravis hospital in Roosendaal, we are working on the Westelijke Randweg and the associated infrastructure. In doing so, we combine the civil and traffic engineering design of roads, intersections, and connections with the integration of landscape and water. As a civil designer, you will work on the elaboration of this interconnected design task.
