Team Leader Water Systems
How do we make the Netherlands climate-proof?
At Iv, we work every day to help build a climate-proof Netherlands. An example of our work is the complete preparation of an area development in relation to the water assignment, which involves the design of the surface water system, the sewerage system, and the groundwater system in a climate-robust way and establishing a connection with the inflow of clean seepage water. We also like to work on stream restoration projects in which we restore the balance between water retention and water drainage, thereby giving nature an extra boost. In addition to these extensive projects, we provide consultancy and design services for numerous projects within our company for water system-related issues. This could be the design for a wadi within an area renewal, the provision of geohydrological consultancy on the fresh/salt ratio in a tidal area or the drainage of a new bridge.
We are looking for a team leader to help us grow the Water Systems team further. As a Team Leader, you will work on issues across the full breadth of the field and receive the freedom to shape your own team. Our Water Systems team operates within the fields of surface water, geohydrology, and urban water and provides services for both internal and external clients. The Water Systems team is part of the Hydraulic Engineering sector. Other teams within the Hydraulic Engineering sector include the Hydraulic Structures team, the Water Safety team and the Geotechnics team. You will work closely with the other team leaders within this sector to develop and implement the strategy further. Together, we solve complex integral water issues within and outside the Netherlands. In addition to your role as team leader, you will also be active as a project leader and/or consultant, so you will still work among your colleagues in the field.
Iv provides tailor-made and innovative designs and advice for constructing and maintaining sustainable infrastructure. You may already be familiar with our involvement in the new IJMuiden sea lock, the Zandhazen Bridge or the design of the Panama Canal lock gates. By developing and applying the latest technologies, we offer ready-made and sustainable solutions for not only today's societal challenges but also those of tomorrow! We provide integral advice for steel and concrete civil engineering works, hydraulic engineering, spatial planning, upkeep, traffic and infrastructure installations and railways. We also offer specialist services in spatial measurement and monitoring structures, RAMS and risk management, asset management, systems engineering, contract management, project management, and supervision.
You have a higher vocational/university level degree (HBO/WO) in Water Management or Civil Engineering (or similar) and at least seven years of experience in water systems. You have experience in leading projects and providing substantive consultancy within the field of water systems, and you have excellent communication skills. In addition, you have experience leading a team or the ambition to do so. Should this be your ambition, we will happily help you realise it. You have an eye for quality and can set priorities appropriately. Your extensive network paves the way for you to score new assignments for your team. Your enthusiasm and drive are just as important to us. You know exactly how to reveal the client's actual needs and how to get the best out of your team. Besides your regular work location (Sliedrecht, Den Bosch, Haarlem, Nieuwegein), you are also willing to work from other locations.
A challenging and varied job at the most diverse engineering company in the Netherlands! You can count on:
In short: At Iv, you will work alongside 1,400 other specialists on some of the greatest challenges of our time while having lots of fun. That's what we call: Engineering that excites.
