Working at Vervoerregio Amsterdam means being able to make the real difference at an expert organization for mobility challenges. In everything we do, we work toward an accessible region for the people who live, work, learn and recreate here. Now and in the future. That calls for responsible choices that are best for people, our environment and the planet.

More than ever, in this busiest region of the country, we must provide clean and healthy transport options that fit the different areas. That is necessary to ensure that all our residents and visitors can reach their destination. That is why, together with our fourteen municipalities, we are working on a sustainably accessible region in which our travelers can travel safely, affordably, smoothly and comfortably from door to door. Would you also like to contribute to this, at one of the largest public transport clients in the Netherlands? Then read on quickly!

As a junior Cost Estimator, you contribute to the preparation and realization of projects that are directly visible in the region. From new cycling infrastructure and traffic engineering measures to complex public transport projects: you help ensure that investment decisions are based on reliable cost estimates and financial insights.

In your role, you will be involved in assessing and testing cost estimates for projects. In doing so, you will work together with experienced colleagues to see whether the estimated costs are realistic and fit the project. As you gain more experience, you will take on increasingly independent and complex issues.

In addition, you will be involved in:

• assessing estimates prepared by municipalities, engineering firms, and contractors;

• monitoring consistency in assessments;

• supporting the determination of the financial contribution to projects, whereby you weigh not only the financial aspects but also the social contribution to policy goals such as road safety and sustainability;

• testing whether applications comply with the applicable frameworks and regulations of the Vervoerregio;

• preparing simple cost estimates;

• contributing to the further development and updating of these frameworks and regulations;

• thinking along about the financial and technical feasibility of projects;

• contributing to keeping estimation methodologies, key figures, and standards up to date and improving them;

In this, you will work closely with internal clients and project managers. You will also have contact with municipalities, engineering firms, contractors, and other technical specialists. This way, you will get to know various projects and parties within the field well.

You will work with friendly and driven colleagues, and an informal working atmosphere prevails in the office. Our organization is constantly in motion, and your initiative and personal input are highly valued. In addition to working well and delivering quality, having fun, humor, and collegiality are highly valued by us.
