What to check before applying

About the Role

At Worley, we believe that the real value of permitting lies not at the end of a project but at the very beginning.

By fully integrating regulatory compliance and permitting into our engineering processes, we ensure that requirements, constraints, and risks are addressed early.

  • Integrate permitting requirements into early design phases (concept, FEED, detailed design) to avoid late-stage risks

  • Manage and coordinate Dutch environmental permitting processes, including authority engagement

  • Provide expertise on:

    • Environmental regulations and compliance

    • Emissions to air, soil, and water

    • EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) deliverables

    • BAT/BREF and regulatory frameworks

  • Act as the key interface between engineering teams, clients, and regulatory authorities

  • Identify permitting risks early and implement practical, cost-effective solutions

  • Support project delivery by managing scope, schedule, and budgets for your discipline

  • Contribute to continuous improvement by applying innovative tools, methods, and digital solutions

 

Experience Qualifications:

What You Bring

    • PGS guidelines and environmental legislation

    • EIA processes and environmental assessments

  • Experience embedding regulatory requirements into engineering design processes

  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in multidisciplinary and international teams
