Do you recognize yourself in this?
You enjoy analyzing complex issues and bringing structure to information, processes, and projects. In doing so, you actively seek collaboration with colleagues from different disciplines.

Furthermore, you have:
- A HBO or WO degree in Civil Engineering, Technical Administration, or a similar field.
- Good command of the Dutch language and a B driving license.
- Basic knowledge of Systems Engineering and preferably of the Leidraad SE.
