Pay & benefits
What you'll get
At Movares, you work on assignments that help the Netherlands move forward. At the same time, you are given the space to organize your work and career in a way that suits you. With good employment conditions, plenty of flexibility, and ample opportunities to develop.
A good basis begins with conditions you can rely on:
a salary between € 4,650 and € 7,580 gross per month based on 40 hours;
a flexible budget of at least 15% of your annual salary, including holiday allowance;
a good pension scheme with Zwitserleven, where Movares pays two-thirds of the pension premium;
an NS Business Card for commuting and business travel. Privately, you benefit from off-peak discounts with the card.
The role
With your geotechnical advice, you ensure that civil projects can be realized safely, feasibly, and in a future-proof manner.
What you'll do
You work on geotechnical analyses, advice, and designs for civil and infrastructural projects.
Depending on your experience, you take on projects independently, from the initial inquiry to advice and design.
You act as a sparring partner for colleagues and clients regarding complex geotechnical issues.
As a senior geotechnical advisor, you work on diverse civil and infrastructural projects, ranging from rail infrastructure to civil structures and hydraulic engineering works. You combine technical analyses with advice and translate complex issues into safe, feasible, and sustainable solutions. In doing so, you work closely with clients and colleagues. Within the team, you share your expertise and, depending on your experience, also provide technical guidance to junior advisors.
How you'll work
Shape a way of working that aligns with your life and your ambitions. Make choices that suit you:
flexible working according to our Any Time Any Place principle, fitting your team, clients, and projects;
The possibility to work from your holiday address within the EU for two weeks per year;
20 vacation days with full-time employment, with the possibility to purchase extra days from your flexible budget;
with your flexible budget, you choose what is important to you, for example for extra income, pension, a bicycle, company fitness, making your home more sustainable, or paying off your student debt;
a €750 budget every five years to properly equip your home workspace;
a €2.45 net home working allowance per home working day.
This is what you will do at Movares
You are an experienced geotechnical advisor who looks beyond your own calculations. You oversee the whole picture, make substantive choices, and know how to bring colleagues along in those choices. You enjoy sharing knowledge and contributing to the development of colleagues and the team.
Are you currently working at a specialized firm and missing the breadth of projects, the influence on substantive choices, or the space to mentor colleagues? Or do you want to apply your geotechnical expertise to projects with great social impact? Then this role is a good fit for you.
Maximum flexibility
Develop a career that matches your talents and ambitions. Choose your own path:
Many development opportunities
space to further develop your expertise, ambition, and career;
learning by doing, together with experienced colleagues and using a wide range of development opportunities;
the chance to actively share knowledge and help build the future of our field.
Growing together
Share in the value we create together and the growth of our organization. Together for success:
your flexible budget grows along with the results of Movares;
a profit sharing scheme with a target amount of 5% of your gross annual salary, depending on results;
and the possibility to participate in the value development of Movares through the purchase of phantom shares.

In their own words
About the company & team
You work together with a close-knit group of geotechnical advisors who easily find one another. One day per week - on Wednesday - you work together in the Utrecht office regardless. Additionally, two days per week in the office is common, but we coordinate location and working hours flexibly. Someone is always present and the lines of communication are short.
The atmosphere in the team is open and egalitarian. There is little hierarchy: seniority here is not about 'being above someone', but about sharing knowledge and helping each other forward. Colleagues get along well, switch gears quickly, and are there for one another. We collaborate consciously, because we believe that leads to better solutions.
