With us, you’ll quickly discover how fascinating and multifaceted the world of defence and security is. As a project leader, you’ll support the Netherlands’ Ministry of Defence in analysing problems and making decisions. You’ll fulfil a project-management role, conducting research into technical and operational issues surrounding themes relevant to defence and security. This could involve interpretating new technologies, developing new ways of acting, or offering advice on the deployment, acquisition, and maintenance of equipment. Your projects will impact the maritime, land, air, and even space domains, and touch on national security. Concrete examples of projects include the optimisation of the integrated deployment of weapons and sensors on military platforms, or the development of new modes of response against current and future threats in the maritime domain.
What will be your role?
You’ll also contribute to the department’s strategy, planning, employee development, as well as the processes that lead to greater efficiency and quality in the execution of projects and the documentation of results to expand the department’s knowledge base.
You’ll work within the Military Operations (MO) department. Military Operations carries out multidisciplinary projects that analyse problems of a strategic, operational, tactical, and logistical nature. The department primarily focuses on structuring and analysing complex problems within the military and security domains (e.g. by providing insight into the consequences of various alternative solutions). In addition, employees solve logistical problems and provide insight into the expected costs of equipment replacement or maintenance. They also offer support during the planning, execution, analysis, and evaluation of operations on land, at sea, and in the air.
