The Position

As a Medior Urbanist at DELVA, you’ll have the opportunity to develop strategic urban and landscape designs that balance environmental, social, and economic considerations. You’ll work alongside senior colleagues, gaining hands-on experience in managing projects, coordinating with stakeholders, and navigating complex urban challenges.

You’ll take on responsibilities in creating strategic visions, urban frameworks, and designs that reflect the unique identity of each project. By approaching urbanism from a landscape perspective, you will contribute to innovative solutions rooted in the environment and sustainability.

What We’re Looking For

  • A completed master’s degree in Urbanism, Urban Design, Landscape Architecture (with an urban focus), or a related discipline.
  • A strong interest in sustainable and innovative urban planning solutions.
  • A holistic approach to urban design, capable of viewing challenges from the landscape perspective and delivering creative, nature-driven solutions.
  • Experience working on urban planning projects, ideally in multidisciplinary environments.
  • Strong communication skills in Dutch and English (Dutch at a B1 level is essential).
  • Proficiency in design tools such as AutoCAD, SketchUp, Adobe Creative Cloud, and familiarity with Rhino, Revit, and BIM is a plus.
  • A proactive, team-oriented approach with the ability to work independently and present projects confidently.
  • Availability for a minimum of 36 hours per week.

What You’ll Get at DELVA

At DELVA, we offer a competitive salary and excellent secondary benefits. More importantly, we provide a platform where you’ll grow as an urbanist. You’ll be part of a collaborative, dynamic team that encourages you to push the boundaries of urban design while contributing to meaningful projects.

You’ll play an essential role in shaping the future of cities in a team that values creativity, innovation, and sustainability. DELVA provides the freedom to explore bold ideas and collaborate with talented colleagues to leave a lasting impact on urban spaces.

Beyond that, DELVA is where you can develop into the urbanist you aspire to be. You’ll have the space to challenge project approaches alongside talented colleagues, pushing boundaries while leaving your personal mark on projects.
