Urban Water & Sewerage Advisor in Leiden

At Nepocon, we believe in the power of innovation, collaboration, and personal growth. As an Urban Water and Sewerage Advisor in Leiden, you will work on future-proof water solutions for the urban environment.

Sewerage and water systems designed decades ago are facing rain showers and dry periods they were never calculated for. Nepocon has established a specialist water group in Leiden and is looking for an experienced urban water and sewerage advisor who masters the craft in every detail and has the desire to help determine which direction we take next.

You will work on sewerage, drainage, infiltration, and climate adaptation: issues that residents notice directly. You design climate-resilient urban water systems, perform stress tests, and calculate variants using GWSW, models such as InfoWorks, D-HYDRO or SOBEK, and GIS. In doing so, you look primarily at what works in practice, so that your solution is also feasible and manageable.

In this role, you work closely with the hydrologists and geohydrologists in the team, for example when infiltration depends on the groundwater level or a design has consequences for surface water. You will sit at the table with municipalities and water boards yourself and guide a project from analysis to realization.

Great freedom and responsibility come with appropriate conditions:

• A gross monthly salary between € 4,425.- 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 here, spread across several locations in the Netherlands. In Leiden, we now have a water group of about 15 professionals; here you will work in a team focused on urban water and sewerage, water safety, hydrology, and geohydrology for West 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.
