NO hire senior Ecologist

Project overview

In addition, the ecology advisors are closely involved with the field service in the management area of Waterschap Rivierenland.

This work requires an advisor who has experience with fieldwork and can translate theoretical plans into execution. You have experience with fieldwork and can translate theoretical plans into execution.

Waterschap Rivierenland manages the water system in its work area and protects residents and businesses as well as possible against water nuisance and floods. The water board combines the management and maintenance of waterways, pumping stations, dikes, and treatment plants with permit granting, supervision, ecology, and long-term projects. Because water and space are closely related, Waterschap Rivierenland coordinates plans with municipalities, provinces, land managers, entrepreneurs, and residents.

Climate change increases the need to look ahead. Employees must therefore constantly switch between substantive quality, practical execution, and cooperation with the environment. Daily work requires clear responsibilities, reliable information, and good coordination between substantive professionals, support teams, and external partners.
