For the necessary infrastructure for BIC-Noord, we are seeking to fill the role of Senior Environmental Manager. This project includes, among other things, the realization of an underpass beneath the A58, the widening of the underlying road network from 2x1 to 2x2 lanes, the creation of sufficient water storage, and the construction of various structures over the Beatrix Canal.

• You prepare a stakeholder analysis and ensure the management of interfaces with other municipal projects throughout the entire duration of the project.

• You are responsible for organizing the participation of the local community within the framework of the municipal participation policy.
• You ensure the drafting and submission of customer requirements for the Program of Requirements (PvE) and the contract.
• In the role of Senior Community Manager, you independently manage (sub)community teams consisting of subject matter experts, external parties, and collaboration partners.
What you bring:
• You have a completed HBO and/or WO education and at least 5-10 years of demonstrable and relevant experience in the integrated management of spatial-physical projects from the initiation to the realization phase at municipalities with 50,000-100,000 inhabitants or more. In addition, you have demonstrably gone through all phases of a project.
• Knowledge of the EPPM/IPM project management collaboration model and proficient in applying the associated processes, products, roles, and responsibilities across all project phases.
• You work in a process-oriented manner and possess sufficient expertise to understand the main lines and contribute to finding solutions.
• You are a connector who can effectively handle complex, politically and administratively charged challenges and diverse interests.
• You have demonstrable experience and knowledge of environmental management and risk management.
• You demonstrate leadership; this is evident in your ability to effectively plan projects, set frameworks, manage, and monitor the course.
• You are flexible and stress-resistant; you can handle a dynamic and changeable environment where priorities shift rapidly and decisions are frequently adjusted.
• You initiate and stimulate collaboration between various parties and possess skills in conflict resolution and negotiation; you demonstrate this by initiating and stimulating partnerships and creating win-win situations.
