Work on projects that shape the future of the Netherlands. From stronger dikes to smarter roads and nature development, your work has real impact. You learn from experienced colleagues, take on responsibility from day one and grow in a team that trusts you. Together we build infrastructure that lasts for generations.

THE POSITION

As a Junior Project Engineer within the Infra Land product line in Tendering & Engineering, you help prepare complex infrastructure projects from the first tender until execution. You work on projects where land and water come together and where smart planning makes the difference. Together with engineers, planners and project teams you translate ideas into practical and achievable solutions. You learn how to balance technical quality, safety, sustainability and efficiency. Every day gives you the opportunity to develop your knowledge while contributing to projects that improve the living environment. Your work leads directly to the impact you make.

YOUR IMPACT

YOUR WORKPLACE

You become part of a close team of six to ten colleagues with different technical backgrounds. Depending on the project, the team expands with partners and specialists. Everyone is approachable and willing to help. You quickly become part of the team and receive guidance from experienced colleagues while building your own expertise.
