In the Netherlands, the quality of our nature is under pressure. Nitrogen, spatial developments, and area processes are becoming increasingly intertwined. At WSP, we are looking for an experienced area ecologist who focuses on the ecological assessment of effects on Natura 2000 areas, specifically nitrogen effects. This can be from one of our offices in Nieuwegein, Maastricht, Rotterdam, or Leeuwarden.

• Advising on how we can provide added value for areas and clients through the right ecological measures.
