According to your colleague Floris, this is our ideal candidate

"A traffic engineering background obtained from a relevant college education or work experience in traffic is most important in this position. The focus is on the operational level. That doesn't mean you can't take your chance to contribute at a strategic level, for example, to the mobility plan. Collaboration is important in this position because you work in project groups and have a lot of contact with residents and companies. Traffic affects the daily lives of all residents. This requires communication skills, you oversee the situation and know better than anyone what communication style is appropriate. Sometimes emotions run high, but you remain calm. Can you come up with innovative solutions when it comes to reports and requests from residents and policy? We are very curious about your vision on this. As a team we find it important that you fit within our team, and vice versa of course!"
