Hydraulic design of the urban drainage intervention
Graphic rendering of proposed solutions
What you need to be successful:
Active enrolment as a student in higher education
An educational background in a technical, design-oriented field, e.g. architecture, product design, civil engineering, bioscience, or water technology.
Basic knowledge of hydraulics, and sustainable urban drainage (SUDs) are required
Competency in CAD or other 3D graphics programs, and knowledge of Infoworks ICM would be a big plus
Additional knowledge of wetland ecology, plant biology, and water chemistry or treatment would be beneficial
An interest in gaining working experience in a multidisciplinary en multicultural team
Proficiency in English, and/or Dutch
Eagerness to learn and develop
What we have to offer you:
An internship position for 32 - 40 hours/week
