WUR students, City of Amsterdam has some exclusive content for you
The city of Amsterdam is developing fast. We need more technical talent in the coming years because a lot of challenges will be coming our way. Think of Rainproof Amsterdam, changing and developing the infrastructure of the city, or renewing the monumental embankment and numerous bridges. Having said that, speaking, reading and writing in Dutch is a requirement to become an employee at our organization. We are a Dutch speaking organization, we use it to communicate with each other and with our citizens.

Working for Amsterdam means working for the most beautiful city in the world. Think of its rich history, the role Amsterdam plays internationally, and events such as Sail, Gay Pride and King’s Day. Of course everybody wants to visit Amsterdam, or work or live here.
As you can probably imagine, working for Amsterdam is a challenge every day. How do we handle the growing bustle in the inner city? Or the high demand for new homes? Or obesity among young children? At the municipality of Amsterdam we work daily on challenging projects like these.
Good for Amsterdam, good for you
Each field of work, ranging from social affairs, customer and information services to environmental planning and economy, has its own challenges. You have to deal with the interests of many parties, often conflicting. Each day you will be looking for solutions that suit the needs of residents, entrepreneurs and visitors. This can make working for the city difficult sometimes, but it is what characterises the job. We work in an open, active, honest, ethical and fair manner, so that is what we would expect from you as well.
