Your work has a direct impact on your living environment. The water management sector is one of the most dynamic fields of work today. Climate change, energy transition, and digital innovation pose major challenges for water authorities. We could use some help with that. We need people who can weigh different interests against each other and seek win-win solutions.
This is us
At Waterschap Noorderzijlvest, more than 300 colleagues work to ensure safe living with water, clean, healthy, and purified water, and sufficient water in every season. Our working area covers part of Groningen, North and Central Drenthe, and a small part of Friesland. Our head office is located in Groningen. In addition, colleagues work at various workshops, pumping stations, and sewage treatment plants in our working area. For example, in Leek, Onderdendam, Lauwerzijl, and Garmerwolde.
An employer who cares about you
We invest in professional and personal development. The water management sector has its own collective labor agreement, with excellent primary and secondary conditions. And we believe it is important to strike a good balance between work and private life.
Innovative techniques
Good water management requires technical solutions, but also tough choices. Choices we must make together.
- Together, we discover how we can live sustainably, safely, and healthily with water.
- How can we retain water for longer when it is dry?
- How can we provide more space for water when there is heavy rainfall?
- And how do we improve water quality?
We provide answers to these questions. To do so, we use new techniques and high-quality machines and tools.
DNA of the water board
We are thinkers, but above all we are doers. We do not fight the battle with and for water alone. We do so together with other authorities, organizations, and residents. And within the water authority, you will also work with many different specializations. Working together and helping each other to achieve the desired solution is an important part of the water board's DNA. We offer you a great deal of freedom and responsibility. Where possible, you can organize your own work and working hours. And there is room for your own initiatives and approach.
In short...
We offer you a job in which you can really make a difference. In the area where you live and work, with local challenges such as land subsidence and salinization. We do this in an organization that gives you as much freedom as possible in the choices you make and the way you organize your work. But also by offering you opportunities for growth and development that match our changing work and your personal needs. You will soon be part of what makes the Northern Netherlands what it is.
Will you choose water work too?
We work together to achieve the right water balance. But we believe that a good work-life balance is just as important!Withus, you can combine meaningful work with job satisfaction and good employment conditions.
