  • Hybrid working, including an internet and a home office allowance.
  • Support for your vitality, with a contribution towards a sports subscription and health insurance.
  • Development opportunities via the TenneT Academy, so that you can continue to expand your knowledge and skills.

We stimulate initiative and give you the space to come up with new ideas. Together, we ensure that the Netherlands stays in motion and is ready for the energy of tomorrow.

The role

Keeping the Netherlands running is our mission. As a Land Rights Advisor, you ensure that the electricity grid remains future-proof. Together with your team, you work on realizing and securing private law rights for construction projects in North Holland. Projects that solve grid congestion and contribute to a stable and sustainable energy system.

What you'll do

As a Land Rights Advisor, you are responsible for advising on and realizing private law security within infrastructural projects in North Holland, such as new 380kV stations and the expansion of 150kV routes, so that the Netherlands can continue to rely on reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy.

  • You advise project teams, management, and stakeholders on private law issues, policy, standards, and working methods within land rights, ensuring that decision-making is careful, legally sound, and executable.
  • You interpret and translate laws and regulations, internal frameworks, and developments within private law into project approaches, risks, and solutions, so that projects can be executed in a controlled and predictable manner.
  • You develop, coordinate, and implement solutions for obtaining and securing necessary business rights, so that construction and expansion projects can be realized in a timely manner.
  • You maintain relationships with landowners, land managers, appraisers, governments, and internal stakeholders and carefully align interests, so that support is created and progress is maintained. In this, you work closely with the environment managers and the regional director, so that TenneT stands in the region with one consistent story.
  • You monitor the progress of land rights activities, legal procedures, project plans, and budgets and report on these to the relevant stakeholders, so that time, quality, and costs remain controlled.
  • You initiate and guide improvements within the land rights field, share knowledge and best practices, and act as a substantive point of contact for core processes within the department, so that the quality and professionalism of the execution are further strengthened.

How you'll work

Hybrid working is the norm for us. You will be given the opportunity to work from home. We also value meeting each other personally at the office. For this, your base location is our Hub in Amsterdam, where you will meet on average 2x per week. Additionally, you will occasionally work from our head office in Arnhem and incidentally from one of our project locations in the region. Therefore, your workplace may vary.

Competencies

  • Balancing interests: You carefully weigh the diverse interests of landowners, governments, project teams, and other stakeholders and arrive at transparent and balanced solutions that enable progress.
  • Action-orientedness: You tackle complex issues decisively, respond quickly to bottlenecks, and take timely action to mitigate risks for projects.
  • Interpersonal understanding and insight: You build lasting relationships, move effectively within a complex stakeholder environment, and act diplomatically in situations with conflicting interests.

This role falls within the Spatial Management Advisor job profile, so that it is clear for both you and TenneT which responsibilities, expectations, and growth opportunities belong to this position.

Within TenneT, much attention is paid to diversity and inclusivity. By working together with colleagues from diverse backgrounds and perspectives, we get better ideas, work more safely, and everyone feels they belong.

TenneT offers you the chance to contribute to a sustainable energy future. Together with colleagues, partners, and stakeholders, you will work on innovative solutions that make the energy transition possible. With us, you will get the space to develop your talent and work in an environment where your growth is central. We believe in collaboration, forward-thinking, and innovation.
