Environmental Counter Employee

Do you have experience in infrastructure, technology, or working around cables and pipelines? And do you enjoy investigating, handling matters, and liaising with colleagues and field personnel from the office? Then we are looking for you.

In this role, you will have an important part in safely and efficiently processing KLIC notifications. You will be the link between the applicant, Gasunie, and the colleagues involved in work around our pipelines.

Groningen

Number of hours per week: 20-32 hours

Job grading: Business Support Employee 55

62 to 68 euros per hour

Application deadline: 16-10-2026

What will you do?

Your tasks mainly consist of processing KLIC notifications received via email and/or phone. You will be the link between the applicant and Gasunie.

After internal training, you will be able to carefully assess all activities taking place near a Gasunie pipeline. For this, you will use various (geo)graphic ICT information systems, allowing you to make a well-founded assessment of the notifications remotely.

Based on this, you will determine which follow-up actions are necessary.

In doing so, you will investigate matters, request additional information where needed, and consult with colleagues and stakeholders. You will regularly communicate with people in the field and know how to translate information from practice into the correct next step.

The safe location of the network is of primary importance to Gasunie, and in this role, you will make an essential contribution to this daily.

Additionally, as a team, we are the face behind the website:

https://www.gasunie.nl/omgevingsloket.

What kind of colleague are we looking for?

For this role, we preferably seek someone who knows the practical side of things.

You may have previously worked in infrastructure, for a contractor, or for a utility company, and therefore understand what is happening in the field. You understand how work around cables and pipelines is carried out in practice and can empathize with the questions and situations of people working in the field.

At the same time, you enjoy working from the office. You get energy from investigating information, bringing together different data, handling matters, and consulting with various people.

You are someone who not only processes a notification but also asks: What exactly is going to happen here? What does this mean for Gasunie? What information is still missing? And who do I need to involve? You enjoy pursuing these questions yourself.

What do we ask?

To be successful as an Environmental Counter Employee, you have a completed MBO (vocational) education at level 4 work and thinking level.

It is a significant advantage if you have recent and relevant experience in, for example, the infrastructure sector, with a contractor, or one of the utility companies.

In previous roles, you have demonstrated that you communicate pleasantly and clearly with various stakeholders and that you can communicate effectively even under pressure.

You have experience with KLIC notifications or reading drawings.

You are strong in analyzing situations, quickly form a good picture, and can translate this into clear and concrete actions for the supervisor of route activities.

Furthermore, we consider it important that you:

Independently take on tasks;

Easily make contact and can consult well;

Can switch between different stakeholders;

Work carefully and accurately;

Can distinguish between main and secondary issues;

Are not easily satisfied with an unclear answer;

Enjoy investigating matters and arriving at a good solution or follow-up action.

You draw energy from a dynamic role in which you accurately and decisively solve complex issues both by phone and at your desk.

You can be described as energetic and a proven, accurate, structuring colleague.

This role is for you if...

You have already gained considerable practical experience and want to continue using that experience, but prefer to do your work from the office.

You don't need to be outside every day to enjoy your work. You find it interesting to maintain contact with the practical side from the office, gather information, investigate matters, and ensure that the right actions are initiated.

You are someone who likes to take responsibility for the tasks you undertake and enjoys reaching a good assessment together with colleagues.

The role also requires someone who wants to delve into the field and the tasks of the Environmental Counter for an extended period. It involves building knowledge and experience that will make you increasingly better at assessing and processing KLIC notifications.
