• You have at least five years of experience as an environmental advisor and feel at home in an environment where the contemporary challenges in environmental science play a role.

• You work independently and like to take responsibility, but also enjoy brainstorming together when necessary. You have a good sense of when to take initiative and know how to steer your own course.

• You think in terms of possibilities and get energy from improving processes or introducing innovation. You like to be challenged to think beyond standard solutions.

• In conversations, you come across as confident and respectful. You stand firm in your shoes, but remain approachable and open to other perspectives.
