Are you passionate about marinas, sailing and waterfront developments and would you like to work for one of the largest leading global maritime consultants, Haskoning? We have the perfect opportunity for you as we are looking to grow our team in the Marinas and Waterfronts Consultancy sector.

The Marina and Waterfronts consultancy sector is a growing and intriguing industry situated at the crossroads of engineering, urban planning and yachting, aimed at delivering integrated solutions for an optimal user experience and a feasible development.

You will coordinate parts of projects and be responsible for timely completion of subtasks.

You will assist our project managers with their tasks and, from time to time, liaise with clients or join meetings with clients. The projects we do will vary from conceptual desktop studies (from our home offices in the Netherlands) to on-site field studies and client interactions.

You will contribute to growing our marina and waterfronts business in the Netherlands and worldwide, building and expanding your and our network in the sector. You will support us in our mission to help clients develop sustainable marinas and waterfronts, with nature-based planning and design as a key element.
