What we're looking for

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

At NLR, you get the space to make an impact and to develop yourself. You work in an innovative national and international high-tech environment where curiosity, collaboration, and craftsmanship are central. We believe that people perform best when they are given the freedom to take initiative, to continue developing, and to find a healthy balance between work and private life.

Furthermore, we offer you, among other things:

  • A gross monthly salary depending on your knowledge and experience;

  • 45 vacation days (based on a 40-hour work week);

  • 8% holiday allowance and a fixed year-end bonus of 8%;

  • The costs for traveling by public transport are fully reimbursed. Do you travel by your own transport? Then you will receive a mileage allowance for commuting;

  • A healthcare allowance of €145.00 gross (based on a 40-hour work week) via our collective health insurance with OHRA, as extra support for your healthcare costs;

  • Extra paid parental leave;

  • Plenty of opportunities to continue learning with education, training, coaching, and other development opportunities;

  • The possibility to work 32-40 hours per week including working from home.

The role

On behalf of our client, we are seeking an Aviation, Policy and Environment Project Leader for the implementation of an Airport Decree. This position includes a mandatory secondment for 2 days per week on-site in Breda.

What you'll do

You operate at the intersection of aviation, policy, and the living environment. As a project leader, you bring together knowledge, policy, and practice. You do not need to be a subject matter specialist in every topic, but you will work intensively with subject matter experts. As a project leader, you are responsible for project management, coordination with the client (together with or in consultation with the experts), planning, and project progress. Your strength lies in quickly grasping complex issues, asking the right questions, and translating specialist knowledge into clear choices and advice.

You listen well, build trust easily, and know how to get diverse interlocutors, from engineers to executives, on the same page. In this way, you help clients make well-founded choices. The projects you work on require a lot of coordination, overview, planning, client contact, and expectation management. In doing so, you can handle political and social pressure well.

In your work, you ensure that projects do not stall due to the gap between what the clients aim to achieve, what is legally permitted, or what has social support. You ask the right questions, listen well, and can translate complex information clearly. In doing so, you constantly collaborate with colleagues from NLR, Defense, fellow government bodies, and external parties.

About NLR

In their own words

About the company & team

The Sustainability and Environment department consists of a group of 40 enthusiastic experts who are always ready to help each other. The group is divided into four teams: Sustainability, Emissions, Noise, and Systems. We all have our own specialisms and preferences, but we are also always open to taking new paths.

In our work, we focus on independent, systematic, and usually technical research into the influence of aviation on the living environment. Additionally, we conduct research into the consequences of making aviation more sustainable. The knowledge we build, also in an international context, is applied directly to the daily operations of (inter)national airports and to policy issues for (inter)national governments. Our clients come from the aviation sector and various government bodies, such as ministries, provinces, and municipalities.

For more than 100 years, Royal NLR has been a leading knowledge institution for applied research in aerospace. Together with more than 1000 professionals, we work on innovative solutions for a more sustainable, safer, and more efficient aerospace industry. We want everyone at NLR to have the space to be themselves, develop talents, and contribute ideas. By valuing differences and learning from each other, we together create an inclusive work environment.
