Requirements

What we're looking for

  • At least a completed technical HBO (higher professional education) degree, preferably in the direction of civil engineering, water management, or similar.
  • At least 3 years of work experience, during which you have grown into a role as a design leader or technical manager. Preferably in the fields of water management, nature, civil engineering, or energy projects.

Nice to have

  • Someone who can design well themselves and has broad substantive knowledge/interests, but finds it more challenging to manage technical trajectories.
  • You have leadership talent, like to take the lead in meetings and gatherings, and derive pleasure from guiding and coaching juniors in their development.
  • You feel responsible for the technical content within a project and enjoy working together with the other IPM roles (project manager, project controller, environment manager) in doing so.

Languages

  • Dutch language proficiency at a minimum C1 level, both oral and written.

The role

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.

What you'll do

As a Water Optimization Project Leader, you will work together with our clients on a well-substantiated and feasible design and contract. You will achieve this in close collaboration with the other IPM roles and specialists from various disciplines and teams. You will work on both medium and large-scale projects, where you are responsible for the following aspects:

Role description

  • The design process (from VO to UO)
  • The execution contract (specifications, UAV-gc, construction team, etc.)
  • Drafting (design) notes
  • Coordination of conditioning
  • Quality assurance of products
  • Consulting with and managing specialists

Within our Integrated Project and Programme Management (IPPM) Business Unit, we execute projects in all phases: from exploration and design to realization and management. In doing so, we work together with and for the government, contractors, and project developers. Examples of recent projects we are working on include:

  • Dijkversterking HWBP Sprok - Sterreschans - Heteren (SSH) - Waterschap Rivierenland.
  • Dijkversterking HWBP Salmsteke - Schoonhoven (SAS) - Hoogheemraadschap De Stichtse Rijnlanden.
  • Natuurontwikkeling Krimpenerwaard - Provincie Zuid Holland.
  • Gebiedsontwikkeling Schiphol Trade Park - GEM A4 Zone West C.V.
  • Additionally, it is also possible to develop yourself internationally, but most projects take place in the Netherlands. There are also many opportunities in training and education, and there are networks to meet other Arcadians and learn from the beautiful projects we do.
