Working toward an accessible and livable South Holland
Would you like to help ensure that the province remains accessible, livable, and sustainable—even while major projects are underway on roads, public transportation, and area development? Do you find it energizing to reconcile different interests, build strong partnerships, and achieve tangible results? If so, the position of Area Director for Sustainable Accessibility in Haaglanden is the right fit for you.
As an Area Director, you serve as the link between government agencies, businesses, and community partners. You work on complex mobility issues and, together with partners, develop smart solutions that keep travelers and transportation providers moving. In doing so, you combine strategic insight with a pragmatic approach and know how to bring people and organizations together.
Who is ZHB?
Zuid-Holland Bereikbaar (ZHB) is a unique partnership between the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, Rijkswaterstaat, the Province of South Holland, the Municipality of The Hague, the Municipality of Rotterdam, the Rotterdam-The Hague Metropolitan Region (MRDH), the Port of Rotterdam Authority, ProRail, and Drechtsteden.
Our shared primary mission is to improve accessibility in South Holland. To achieve this, we work with our partners to ensure that disruptions caused by large-scale construction projects are kept to a minimum. We do this by minimizing disruptions resulting from road, rail, and waterway construction as much as possible, while simultaneously contributing to the transition to sustainable mobility. Within ZHB, professionals from various disciplines work together on current mobility issues. We are a network organization centered on collaboration, ownership, and results. Approximately 100 people work at ZHB, consisting of a core staff of about 30 employees and roughly 70 people in a flexible workforce.
What will you do?
As the Haaglanden Regional Director for Sustainable Accessibility, you are responsible for coordinating the area-specific approach within the Haaglanden region. You will develop, coordinate, and monitor integrated mobility programs focused on accessibility, reducing disruption, and sustainable mobility. You translate policy goals into concrete measures and programs and ensure that all stakeholders collaborate effectively to achieve shared goals. In doing so, you move seamlessly between operational, tactical, and administrative levels.
You’ll be working in a dynamic environment where municipalities, provincial governments, the national government, businesses, and other stakeholders each have their own interests and responsibilities.
Thanks to your collaborative style, administrative acumen, and results-oriented approach, you’re able to bring parties together and make progress.
