Medior Project Manager Internal and Policy – The Station Gardens

Project overview

What will you do

Make an impact on the future of Barendrecht – and specifically on one of our most high-profile area developments: De Stationstuinen. As Project Manager for Internal Affairs and Policy, you will be responsible for the policy of De Stationstuinen and act as the link between the project bureau De Stationstuinen and the municipal organization. You will also be responsible for preparing and administratively submitting spatial procedures, such as an Environmental Plan phase 3. You will also ensure the execution of the urban development plans for De Stationstuinen.

You won't do this alone. You will work closely with a dedicated and expert project team, project managers, an experienced strategist, and the responsible area project manager of De Stationstuinen. Together, you will ensure a connection between policy, execution, and administrative ambitions.

De Stationstuinen is an ambitious and sustainable inner-city development area. Approximately 4500 homes are expected to be realized in De Stationstuinen. This development will not happen all at once but in phases. Various policy documents and zoning plans have been drawn up for this. Some of these have already been adopted. Additional elaboration and research are still needed in a number of policy areas. For this, it is important to establish the link from De Stationstuinen with the internal organization. You will therefore ensure that the growth of the area is timely supported by current and appropriate policy.

In addition, you will lead a number of concrete spatial procedures within De Stationstuinen.
