The multidisciplinary approach in both the public and private sectors ensures that urban developments are striking, economically efficient, and sustainable. Included in this are climate adaptation, the energy transition, and digital innovation. Clients are municipalities, provinces, developers, educational and healthcare institutions, and industry. Think of (re)development of locations in built-up areas, reconstructions of roads, expansion locations for industrial estates, or modifications of industrial sites. From composed project teams, including designers and specialists, work is carried out on the initiation, design, tendering, and supervision of civil works.

A versatile role within an exciting environment. Additionally, Arcadis is at the forefront of digitalization, and you can hook into that and further develop yourself. In addition to working from home, there is a workplace in Rotterdam.
