Nice to have

WSP Netherlands is hiring for this role in several places. This vacancy is in Utrecht.

This job advert was originally written in Dutch.

The role

Due to the growth of WSP in the Netherlands, we are further expanding the structural engineering team within our Business Unit Transport & Infrastructure . For our location in Breda, we are looking for a Civil Structures Structural Engineer.

As a structural engineer, you will work on diverse infrastructural and hydraulic engineering projects. From bridges, tunnels, and viaducts to locks, weirs, quays, and jetties. You will work on both large, complex projects and smaller projects where specific technical solutions make the difference.

What you'll do

As a structural engineer, you design and calculate concrete and steel structures and, depending on your experience and interest, you will also deal with geotechnical issues. You will work closely with modelers, project managers, and other technical specialists and be involved in various phases of a project: from the initial designs to the detailed design.

Your responsibilities include, among other things:

  • Creating, verifying, and reviewing structural calculations;

  • Technically elaborating the Program of Requirements during various design phases;

  • Elaborating structural designs in collaboration with modelers and drafters;

  • Advising clients, including (semi-)government bodies and contractors;

  • Seeking practical and technically well-thought-out solutions for complex design issues;

  • Guiding and supporting junior structural engineers and sharing your professional knowledge.

What you bring

You have a passion for technology and find it important to deliver high-quality work. You look beyond the standard solution and find it interesting to approach technical issues from different angles. In doing so, you work accurately, maintain an overview, and know how to organize your activities well.

Additionally:

  • Do you have a completed HBO or WO degree in Civil Engineering or similar;

  • Do you have several years of relevant work experience with concrete and/or steel structures;

  • Do you have knowledge of the applicable Dutch standards, regulations, and guidelines;

  • Do you have an affinity with geotechnics? Experience is a plus, but not a requirement if you want to further develop in this area;

  • Do you have experience with SCIA? Experience with Deltares software packages is a plus;

  • Can you work independently, but also actively seek collaboration with colleagues and clients;

  • Do you possess fluent command of the Dutch language, both spoken and written.
