Wat you will do as Specialist / Advisor Urban Water Management

As a substantive expert and consultant, you are working with your team for the majority of your time to make the world a little better. You are going to make plans for new areas, test and optimize existing water systems using model calculations and you advise on measures for a climate -proof design.

The projects you participate in, for example, sewerage plans, climate stress tests, rainwater structure, and linking plans, water tests and multi-year investment plans for the sewer system. Sometimes you also use your professional knowledge to give very practical advice. Consider, for example, solving flooding problems on a plot in close consultation with the owner and the municipality or answering the question of whether a piece of sewerage can still be replaced at the same time as refurbishing an intersection.
