Strategic Environmental Manager for Area Renewal

At Iv, we create sustainable and innovative infrastructure solutions

Our projects range from preparing road infrastructure and mobility solutions to area development and water safety projects. We strive to positively impact the living environment and improve mobility in the Netherlands. We do this by developing both urban and rural areas in a sustainable, climate-proof and water-robust way. Our integral projects are characterised by their complexity. Examples of projects include 'Improvement of road safety on the N223', 'Development of the Valkenhorst area' and 'Reinforcement of the Havendijk in Den Helder'.

You will work closely with our clients and project managers, providing them with strategic environmental insight based on the stakeholder force field you have created for the project. Your environmental advice will help build support and successfully achieve a legally and planning-approved design. Together, we will shape this position, which will, in any case, include the following tasks and responsibilities:

·       Developing strategic environmental management within our projects and organisation.

·       Ensuring effective collaboration with internal and external stakeholders, such as public authorities, citizens and (social) organisations.
