Junior environmental manager Zuid-Holland Zuid

As a junior environmental manager, you connect spatial integration, administrative interests, and project results. In this way, you help energy projects move forward with both public support and momentum.

Why working at Stedin gives you energy:

• You will learn the trade under the guidance of experienced environmental managers. These are local or large-scale gas or electricity projects, often in busy city centers, with many stakeholders and social impact, such as our neighborhood approaches.
• You will work on visible projects for the energy transition.
• Flexible working in a hybrid environment. Combine working at the office, at home, and at project sites. You decide how to schedule your week.

As a junior environmental manager, you are responsible for rolling out "the red carpet" for projects. We do not wait until a contractor puts a shovel in the ground to think about spatial integration issues, but want to do this early in the preparation phase. Think of coordinating medium-voltage substation locations for new electricity cabinets with municipalities and making clear agreements about execution with contractors. In this way, you make energy projects spatially and socially feasible. You will work on various projects that make the energy transition possible, such as reinforcing our electricity grid or renewing gas pipelines.

You map out stakeholders and interests, manage actions and deadlines strictly, prepare conversations, and track risks. You possess strong communication skills to translate technical policy in a clear way to stakeholders who are not dealing with energy infrastructure on a daily basis.

Naturally, we will help you master the trade quickly. You will start immediately with your own municipalities, where you will grow towards more independence within a few months under the guidance of an experienced environmental manager. You will quickly notice that every project asks something different of you.

A day as a junior environmental manager:

• With a cup of coffee, you start the team meeting and discuss the progress of projects together with the project manager and technical manager.
• You call a contractor to review the schedule and the traffic plan for a project. You see opportunities to do things even better and ensure this happens.
• After lunch, you visit the municipality to find locations for new electricity cabinets together within the neighborhood approach.
• Another project is starting soon. Together with the Environmental Communication Advisor, you determine how we can best inform the surrounding area.
• At the end of the day, you can head home in time to beat the traffic, and you finish your last action items at home so you can tackle the next day feeling fresh!
