Hydrology Advisor

At Nepocon, we believe in the power of innovation, collaboration, and personal growth. As a Hydrologist in Zwolle, you will work as a specialist who understands water systems.

Drought and flooding are following each other ever more rapidly: in dry summers, groundwater levels drop deeply, while streams and polders can barely process water after heavy rainfall. Nepocon is building a new water group in Zwolle and is looking for a hydrologist who understands water systems and wants to help determine which challenges we tackle here.

You will work for water boards, provinces, and municipalities on surface water, rivers, and stream systems. You will analyze water systems regarding drought, flooding, water storage, and water availability, use models to make the effects of measures insightful, and perform hydraulic calculations for, for example, outflow facilities and weirs.

You will combine that data with knowledge of the area and translate the outcomes into concrete advice, from stream restoration to the design of the rural area. In doing so, you will work alongside the geohydrologists in the team, because what happens in a stream is often linked to the groundwater, and with colleagues in urban water where urban and rural areas meet. You will advise your clients directly and help to further put hydrology on the map within Nepocon.

Great freedom and responsibility come with appropriate conditions:

• A gross monthly salary between € 3,304.- and € 7,623.- appropriate to your knowledge and experience;

• A choice budget of 10.91% of your gross annual salary, including holiday allowance;

• 25 vacation days for full-time employment, with the possibility to take extra days from your individual choice budget (IKB);

• A laptop and phone;

• An unlimited training budget, for both your professional and your personal development;

• An organization where career growth is a matter of course and successes are celebrated together.

Nepocon is part of Engius and combines the impact of a group of specialized engineering firms with short lines of communication and a personal atmosphere. In total, approximately 90 specialists work there, spread across multiple locations in the Netherlands. After building up our water group in Leiden, it is now Zwolle's turn, with a team focused on urban water and sewerage, water safety, hydrology, and geohydrology for the East and North of the Netherlands.

You will be given the space to establish your own specialty and to help decide who fits into your team. Which tasks we take on here and which expertise belongs with them, we determine not for the team, but with the team.

No fixed boxes or heavy hierarchy then, but clients you speak to yourself and the space to choose your own direction. Read the stories of your future colleagues here.
