Apeldoorn has big plans and is undergoing rapid development. For example, our population is set to grow to at least 180,000, and we are creating more green spaces whilst preserving our rich history. What does this mean for you as a specialist in the field of spatial planning?
Fancy a sneak peek behind the scenes? Our colleagues Roelof, Patrick and Symone talk about working in (and on) Apeldoorn.
In brief
Space
This is your area of expertise – and ours as your employer. Because you’ll be given every opportunity to do what you’re good at and to become even better at what you do. Learning and development are central to the Municipality of Apeldoorn.
Reliability
Exciting projects and a dynamic working environment within a reliable organisation. You’re not just working on today or tomorrow; together, we’re building for the future.
Vitality
Whether it’s our careers centre or the sports activities we organise, wellbeing is a top priority for us. Will you be running or cheering us on at the next Midwinter Marathon?
Diversity
We build with and on each other. Everyone has their own area of expertise, and that is what makes our organisation so strong. Furthermore, our projects are both urban and rural in nature, which makes us diverse and unique.
And there’s more
Of course, you can count on a good salary, an IKB of 17,45% on top of your salary, a good pension, great colleagues, opportunities for growth, a training budget and much more.
- The municipality of Apeldoorn is set to grow to at least 180,000 residents, with a focus on enhancing the physical quality of the city, the villages and the surrounding countryside.
- The Spoorzone and Kanaalzone are set to take on a new look, with residential and working environments that also make use of vertical space.
- New sustainable, green and smart residential areas, with homes for everyone, are being developed outside the current urban area.
- The city centre will feature more green spaces and water features; it will be climate-resilient and far more attractive, having been restored to its 19th-century splendour.
- We want to maintain and enhance Apeldoorn’s accessibility, given its central location, through smart transport solutions in the areas of public transport and transport hubs.
- We are strengthening the Veluwe’s natural environment as the Netherlands’ premier tourist destination.
- Nature restoration is only possible if we significantly reduce our nitrogen emissions; in doing so, we also create the scope to achieve our ambitions.
