Aviation, Policy and Environment Project Leader

Working at NLR means working in a national and international high-tech environment. Collaboration and involvement are highly valued by us. By giving you freedom and personal responsibility, you are best able to achieve groundbreaking innovations. Do you want to develop yourself both professionally and personally? That is also possible at NLR as a learning organization, supplemented by a training budget, a mentor, internal coaches, and good contacts with vocational, applied sciences, and universities.

In addition to all this, we offer you:

• 45 vacation days (based on full-time employment);

• a salary that matches your experience;

• 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;

• An allowance for your healthcare costs;

• Extra paid parental leave;

• The opportunity to develop yourself with training and courses that match your ambitions;

• The possibility to work 32, 36, or 40 hours per week, including working from home.

You operate at the intersection of aviation, policy, and the environment. You bring together your technical knowledge, policy, and practice. You do not need to be a subject matter specialist in every topic, but you will work intensively with the 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 the progress of the project. 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 is technically possible and what is legally permitted or required. You ask the right questions, listen well, and can translate complex information clearly. In doing so, you always work together with colleagues from NLR and with external partners. You are the connecting link between the client, subject matter experts, and other stakeholders. Finally, you have an eye for new opportunities and actively think along about new assignments and collaborations.
