Job Description

About This Vacancy You ensure that green management goes beyond mere maintenance. An attractive and future-proof public space doesn’t just happen by itself. Behind healthy trees, biodiverse green strips, and ecologically managed areas stands someone who maintains oversight, thinks ahead, and makes the right choices for the long term. As Advisor Green & Ecology, you work for a government agency in the Utrecht area and are responsible for the management and further development of public greenery. You translate policy goals into concrete measures, advise on ecological issues, and ensure that management and execution are well synchronized. You collaborate closely with colleagues, contractors, residents, and other involved parties. One moment, you’re working on maintenance contracts and management plans; the next, you’re considering the ecological impact of a project or development within public spaces. While balancing various interests, you keep the bigger picture in focus. You ensure that quality, livability, biodiversity, and feasibility remain in harmony. What makes this role interesting? This role offers a great combination of strategic thinking and practical execution. You contribute ideas about the future of public spaces while seeing the direct results of your work outside. Additionally, you play an important role in current themes such as biodiversity, nature-inclusive management, and climate adaptation. It’s precisely this blend of green management, ecology, and stakeholder management that makes the position varied and intellectually challenging. You’ll have the opportunity to influence how a government agency in the Utrecht region designs and manages its public spaces to be future-proof.
