Internship Soil, Conditioning, Land Engineering

Arcadis is the global partner at the forefront of the most impactful projects of our time. We help our clients make sustainable choices through the combination of digital innovation, expertise, and future-oriented skills in areas such as environment, energy, water, buildings, transport, and infrastructure. We take that extra step to offer our clients tailored solutions for design, engineering, and consultancy. By utilizing data-driven insights, we shape the natural and built environment together.

With more than 34,000 people, we pool global expertise and tackle challenges such as climate, affordable energy, and livable cities together. We improve quality of life through our presence in more than 30 countries.

Under supervision, you will contribute to the soil aspects of one or more concrete projects that are about to commence. Think of the construction of networks in the context of the energy transition or water pipes on behalf of water companies. For example, you will work on:

• The (co-)execution of preliminary investigations;
• The preparation of the soil investigation to be carried out;
• The processing of data from the field and the laboratory;
• Co-writing the reports in which the data are recorded and interpreted;
• Coordination and collaboration with the project manager and other involved colleagues;
• Contributing to the various activities in the entire soil field (from investigation to remediation to aftercare) carried out within our teams;
• Thinking along with and writing restoration plans for activities in agricultural land, as part of a land engineering advice;
• Assisting with (land engineering) soil mapping for project-based work in agricultural land.

Qualifications & Experience:
We are looking for an intern who possesses the following education and (personal) skills:

In our team in Amersfoort, there is a vacancy at the beginning of 2026 for an intern (work placement or graduation assignment). Our team consists of soil specialists, project managers, and GIS/data specialists. In addition to our substantive knowledge of soil, soil contamination, and/or soil remediation, we also organize all conditioning surveys in the field for our clients. Think of land engineering, archaeology, ecology, geohydrology, geotechnics, or unexploded ordnance. In short, all the investigations required to subsequently be able to actually carry out the projects outdoors: the "conditioning surveys". Our projects take place throughout the country. We work for, among others, companies such as TenneT, NAM, and PWN.

You will be part of an enthusiastic group, mostly young colleagues. Many of us started as interns or immediately after their studies. We will determine the content of your internship in consultation with you, depending on our ongoing projects, but also on your wishes or the requirements from your studies.

The specific activities depend on which assignments are being carried out during your internship. Furthermore, there is room to delve into a specific topic within this internship. Think, for example, of topics such as land engineering/soil mapping, vital soil, and sustainability.

You will follow the daily course of business and you will be a full part of the team. During this internship, you will truly get to know what it is like to work at an engineering firm. We work together several days a week at the Amersfoort office, but during your internship, there is also the possibility to work partly from home.

Does it seem like an interesting challenge to you to start working within our advisory group? Then quickly read on to see if you meet the requested profile.

"Advisory Group"
Our Soil and Conditioning advisory group operates from 3 teams, spread across the offices in Rotterdam, Assen, and Amersfoort. We carry out multidisciplinary projects for clients primarily in the energy, infra, and oil and gas sectors. In addition, our advisory group works intensively with our colleagues from the Soil and Healthy Living advisory group.

Do you recognize yourself in the profile above? Then apply for this educational internship within the Soil and Conditioning advisory group.

Wherever you work, whatever you do, as an Arcadian you contribute to our mission 'Improving quality of life'. That is what connects and inspires us. At Arcadis, we ensure that everyone gets the opportunity to get the best out of themselves. By creating an environment in which everyone feels at home and is given room for development, we believe that together with you, we can make an impact for the future.

Characteristic of our culture are inclusivity, diversity, and corporate social responsibility. We carry out various activities on these topics. Arcadis offers you the chance to gain practical experience in the form of an internship or graduation assignment. We will determine the content of the assignment together. During your internship, you may organize your work flexibly across different locations and working hours. Additionally, you will get to know colleagues better by participating in activities such as those of the active youth association The Young Part. Many interns/graduates grow into a junior position. Learning at Arcadis also means that you receive an internship allowance.

Recruitment, secondment, and HR agencies do not need to respond; acquisition following this vacancy is not appreciated.

An assessment and/or pre-employment screening may be part of the application procedure.
