Legal Advisor Land Affairs

• With your legal advice and contract preparation, you ensure that our gas stations, electricity substations, and medium- and high-voltage stations can be constructed in the right locations and remain operational.
• You are the link between technology and law: you work closely with project leaders, engineers, and fellow legal colleagues, and together you search for solutions that are both legally and technically sound.
• In doing so, you can count on good employment conditions and ample opportunities to work independently of place and time.

A great deal is involved in securing the right square footage for our gas stations, electricity houses, and medium- and high-voltage stations. You are the link between the technical realization of our stations and the private law agreements with landowners. You advise project leaders and engineers on the best location for new stations, investigate whether land can be purchased and which conditions are associated with it, and coordinate these with landowners. You also tackle legal issues regarding existing assets, for example, concerning the maintenance of adjacent strips of land, rights acquired through prescription, or the consequences of moving a station. Thus, as a legal advisor for land matters in Groningen and Drenthe, you contribute directly to a reliable energy network - now and in the future.

These are your responsibilities

• Establishing rights of superficies and easements and purchasing land for our land-based assets.
• Providing legal advice to project leaders, engineers, and other colleagues regarding the (im)possibility of locations, usage rights, pollution, permits, and contractual agreements.
• Handling legal issues surrounding existing assets, including complaints from individuals, prescription issues, and the consequences of moving stations, and coordinating the specialists involved.
