What we're looking for

You are an entrepreneurial project leader who gains energy from connecting people, interests, and content. Additionally, you possess:

A completed HBO or WO degree in, for example, Land and Water Management, Civil Engineering, Hydrology, Earth Sciences, or similar.
At least five years of relevant work experience as a water management or climate adaptation advisor.
Experience in leading integrated project teams.
Knowledge of the challenges surrounding climate adaptation and water management.
Good communication skills and an excellent command of the Dutch language.
A proactive, customer-oriented, and result-oriented attitude.

The role

Climate change demands smart and sustainable solutions. Water nuisance, drought, and the climate-resilient design of our living environment are high on the agenda for water boards, provinces, municipalities, and property developers. As Project Leader Water Management and Climate Adaptation at WSP, you will play a key role in realizing these challenges.

As a project leader, you have a broad perspective on the connection between water and the design of rural and urban areas. You work within integrated project teams on challenges regarding water nuisance, water availability, drinking water, and nature restoration. As a project leader for, for example, stream restoration projects, you link the water challenge to WFD goals. And in urban areas, you know how to translate the impact of climate change into concrete solutions. You find it a challenge to brainstorm these solutions together with your colleagues and develop them into a feasible design.

What you'll do

As Project Leader, you are responsible for leading multidisciplinary projects within the physical domain. You are the primary point of contact for clients and ensure that projects are executed successfully, both in terms of content and finance.

What will your new role look like?

Leading projects in the field of water management and integrated area development. Advising municipalities, water boards, provinces, and developers on climate-resilient solutions.
Providing specialist advice in the field of the sustainable design of the water system
Managing multidisciplinary project teams.
Monitoring planning, budget, quality, and risks.
