Project Leader Planning

Do you get energy from shaping explorations and planning studies, coordinating environmental impact assessments and integration plans that shape the future of the Netherlands and a sustainable living environment? Do you want to work on products that form the basis for decision-making and the execution of projects that protect the Netherlands against climate change AND contribute to the energy transition? Then this is your chance to make an impact.

At WSP Nederland, we are looking for a Project Leader Planning who takes charge of the process from idea to decision-making. You ensure that planning products not only comply with laws and regulations, but also provide direction for a sustainable design of our living environment.

You take charge of planning studies, explorations, environmental impact assessments (EIA), integration plans, permit applications, and participation processes. In doing so, you guide procedures within the Environment Act and ensure that all components come together in a coherent and convincing planning product. You actively maintain contact with clients, stakeholders, and external agencies and monitor progress, quality, and integrity. In close cooperation with the technical manager, you ensure a well-integrated and substantiated design. You also contribute to the development of the field by guiding and coaching starters.

Examples of projects:

• Sterke Lekdijk - planning products for the reinforcement of a crucial flood defense.

• Zuidelijk Maasdal - climate-adaptive area development.

• TenneT Doetinchem High-Voltage Substation - planning for a key project in the energy transition.

• A HBO or WO background in civil engineering, water management, urban planning, or sustainability.

• Experience with planning procedures, EIA, and administrative decision-making.

• Affinity with water safety and/or the energy transition.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to maintain an overview.
