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.

What you will do as a Medior Consultant Marinas and Waterfronts

You will contribute to the successful implementation of various high-level consultancy projects in the field of marinas and waterfronts, working closely with our team and other experts throughout the company. You will combine your (technical) background with excellent soft skills to present your ideas and thoughts both internally and externally. 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.

Examples of some of our recent marina & waterfront projects you could be working on are:

• Masterplanning of:
  • a greenfield superyacht marina in the Black Sea or the Middle East
  • a high-end marina and waterfront along the popular south coast of Spain
  • a nature-based marina in Southeast Asia
• Consultancy on recreational navigation networks and developments in the Netherlands
• Conceptual design of marina layouts and spatial planning of the waterfront in South America, Europe, and the APAC region
• Yachting market assessments in the Middle East
• Our clients and projects are located worldwide, and we operate in the private and/or (semi)governmental sector. We expect you to be able and willing to travel abroad for projects if so desired and requested by the client.

Where you will work

At Haskoning, you will join an independent, employee-owned international consultancy that combines engineering, design, and consultancy services with software and technology. Our mission, "Enhancing Society Together," drives us to create a positive impact on the world.

We are an international team with a healthy mix of juniors, mediors, and experienced seniors. We believe in active knowledge sharing and that there is value in everybody’s contribution. You will have the opportunity to learn on the job from experienced people and share experiences.
