Strategic advisor on waste

Introduction 

The collection of household waste is a municipal task. The triangle of service, sustainability and finance is essential in this regard. The proper maintenance of public spaces and compliance with environmental regulations is important for the livability and safety of the town. In addition, the municipality considers personal, clear and reliable service to the people of Hengelo very important and also expects this service from its partners and contractors. A good cooperation and relationship between the municipality and its implementing partners is therefore of great importance.  

 We are looking for someone who derives energy from politico-administrative difficult dossiers and who enjoys the challenge of making a positive contribution. You will provide advice with flexibility at the level of the administration and the civil service with the aim of reaching clear agreements that will help solve sensitive dossiers and strategic issues. You do not "take over" from the subject matter advisors, but you add the political-administrative antenna, the helicopter view and the constructive-critical view to the conversation. Your advice focuses on the overall coherence and strategy of the waste portfolio. You coordinate the coordination between director, organization and city council. 

You make the connection with the municipal planning and control cycle and take care of the necessary reports. You manage at a strategic level, and have an overview of the processes, policy, budget and planning. You maintain contacts with your counterpart at Twente Milieu, our waste collector, and provide additional assignments where necessary. You advise the management, board and board of directors.  

In addition, you are the internal point of contact for the waste policy field and maintain contact with regional partner(s) within the policy field and key internal partners such as account managers Twence and cleanliness.
