Do you have an affinity for rural areas and do you want to contribute to the future of our outdoor spaces? Do you get energy from designing stream restoration projects, nature-inclusive agriculture, water and soil systems, or the layout of nature and recreation areas? Then we are looking for you! For our office in Holten, we are looking for a designer who wants to work with a fresh perspective and a sense for the environment on a livable and future-proof Netherlands. Should you live closer to our office in Nieuwegein, we also have a great place for you there!

As a designer, you will help translate vision into a concrete design. Think of designing a redesigned stream valley, optimizing a water management system for agricultural use, or preparing technical designs for nature development. You will work with modern design software such as AutoCAD, Civil3D, or QGIS and contribute ideas for innovative, practical solutions that align with the wishes of the client and the environment.

You will be part of multidisciplinary project teams in which you collaborate with Advisors, Landscape Designers, Project Leaders, and clients. You will perform design and drafting work, prepare technical documents, and take into account technical feasibility, sustainability, costs, and executability. The projects you work on are varied and can focus on themes such as:

• Stream restoration and remeandering

• Nature development and ecological connection zones

• Land development and soil management

• Climate adaptive drainage and water storage in rural areas

• Recreational development in combination with landscape values
