The role

Where complexity meets, you bring clarity and direction.

What you'll do

  • You are the figurehead of our vision for urban hubs and housing construction. Spatial development within the urban context is familiar territory for you. You represent Movares externally, strengthening both our network and our philosophy;

  • With your clear vision, you lead multidisciplinary teams and complex area developments, utilizing innovation and (technical) knowledge to enhance spatial quality;

  • You think ahead in processes regarding innovative solutions for the living environment and actively transfer your expertise to younger colleagues.

At Movares, we work on the city of tomorrow. At places where densification, mobility, and quality of life converge. We are looking for a senior urban planner to provide direction: strong in content, design-driven, and finding joy in the heart of the profession.

As a senior urban planner at Movares, you are a content leader within complex area developments. You work on urban densification, housing construction, and hubs, translating societal challenges into sharp analyses, spatial concepts, and convincing designs. With your vision, you bring cohesion between scale levels, disciplines, and interests, ensuring that spatial quality always remains the starting point. You are at the table early, thinking along about course and strategy, and developing innovative solutions for the living environment. You work in multidisciplinary teams where design, mobility, planning, and technology reinforce one another. In doing so, you are a natural sparring partner for colleagues: you share knowledge, sharpen ideas, and guide younger urban planners in their development. With your experience and network, you actively contribute to the visibility and substantive positioning of Movares in the field.

This is who you are at Movares

You are an enterprising and enthusiastic urban planner with a clear vision, someone who makes the world a little more beautiful every day. Naturally, you bring people along in your vision, remain curious, communicate with crystal clarity, and know how to inspire, coach, and motivate colleagues to achieve the highest possible results together. Additionally, you build strong client relationships and serve as a trusted point of contact.

This is what you get at Movares

At Movares, you work on beautiful projects with social impact. That provides energy and satisfaction, something that cannot be expressed in money.

You contribute to the difference we make together for the public space in the Netherlands by continuing to grow in your craft and as a professional. Therefore, in every phase of your career, you are given the space to actively shape your development, supported by learning on the job, masterclasses, and a broad learning environment in our own Academy.

That is not all. We also offer good primary and secondary employment conditions. We have listed them for you below:
