This is an opportunity to take a visible coordinating role in strengthening Haskoning’s cyber resilience. You will help build and mature the organisation’s incident response capability in a central, risk-based team.

At Haskoning, we believe that the well-being of our employees is essential to our shared success. We offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support both your professional development and personal well-being.

• A solid foundation: A competitive indicative base salary of €4,249 – €6,981 gross per month, based on full-time employment, with annual increases.
• An attractive compensation package: Including a strong pension scheme with an 18.3% employer contribution, a 2.15% personal budget and annual profit sharing. You will also have the opportunity to purchase company shares and share in our success.
• Work-life balance: 28 vacation days based on full-time employment, with the option to purchase an additional 16.5 days per year and to exchange three public holidays for days that are personally meaningful to you.
