Senior Geotechnical Advisor

Your Impact at Movares

With your geotechnical advice, you ensure that civil projects can be realized safely, feasibly, and sustainably.

What You Will Do at Movares

• You will work on geotechnical analyses, advice, and designs for civil and infrastructure projects.

• Depending on your experience, you will take on projects independently, from problem definition to advice and design.

• You will be a sparring partner for colleagues and clients on complex geotechnical issues.

As a Senior Geotechnical Advisor, you will work on a variety of civil and infrastructure projects, from rail and track infrastructure to civil structures and hydraulic engineering works. You will combine technical analyses with advice and translate complex issues into safe, feasible, and sustainable solutions. You will collaborate closely with clients and colleagues. Within the team, you will share your expertise and, depending on your experience, also provide technical guidance to junior advisors.

This is You at Movares

You are an experienced geotechnical advisor who looks beyond your own calculations. You oversee the bigger picture, make informed technical choices, and know how to involve colleagues in those decisions. You enjoy sharing knowledge and contributing to the development of colleagues and the team.

Are you currently working at a specialized firm and missing the breadth of projects, the influence on technical choices, or the opportunity to mentor colleagues? Or do you want to use your geotechnical expertise in projects with significant societal impact? Then this role is a good fit for you.

This is What You Also Bring:

• several years of experience in geotechnics, suitable for a medior or senior role;

• experience with Deltares software (D-series); experience with Plaxis is a plus, as is an affinity with linear infrastructure;

• strong written and verbal communication skills in both Dutch and English.

This is What You Get at Movares

At Movares, you work on assignments that help the Netherlands move forward. At the same time, you get the freedom to shape your work and career in a way that suits you. With good employment conditions, a lot of flexibility, and ample opportunities for development.

• 20 vacation days for a full-time employment, with the option to purchase additional days from your flexible allowance;

• with your flexible allowance, you choose what is important to you, for example, for extra income, pension, a bicycle, corporate fitness, making your home more sustainable, or paying off your student debt;

• a € 750 budget every five years to set up your home office properly;

• € 2.45 net home office allowance per home office day.

Ample Development Opportunities

• Develop a career that matches your talents and ambitions. Choose your own path:

• learning by doing, together with experienced colleagues and using a wide range of development opportunities;

• the chance to actively share knowledge and help build the future of our field.

Growing Together

Share in the value we create together and the growth of our organization. Together for success:

• your flexible allowance grows with Movares' results;

• a profit-sharing bonus with a target amount of 5% of your gross annual salary, depending on the results;

• and the possibility to participate in the value development of Movares through the purchase of phantom shares.

Your Team at Movares

You will work with a close-knit group of geotechnical advisors who easily find each other. One day a week – on Wednesdays – you will work together at the office in Utrecht. Additionally, working at the office two days a week is common, but we flexibly agree on location and working hours. There is always someone present, and communication lines are short.

The atmosphere in the team is open and egalitarian. There is little hierarchy: seniority here is not about 'being above someone', but about sharing knowledge and helping each other move forward. Colleagues get along well, switch gears quickly, and are there for each other. We collaborate consciously because we believe it leads to better solutions.
