What you can expect as department head?

As head of the department, you will lead a team of 15 well educated professionals in software engineering, working on advancing the Delft-FEWS platform. This platform runs all over the world and makes it possible to provide timely warnings in the event of flooding and long-term droughts.

Your main responsibility is to ensure that the team can continue to develop and perform optimally. With not only a happy team as result but that the product line of Delft- FEWS keeps advancing to help solving global water challenges. Furthermore, the department is also eagerly working on a change towards agile and product-oriented working. With the help of Product managers, Product Owner and Scrum Master, you'll lead the department and employees through this change.

  • You will facilitate and coach your team to thrive for professional development and excellence in the field of computational sciences and software development. As a result, together with the team you will formulate and realise the knowledge ambition of the department, contributing to the mission driven work and co-creation abilities of Deltares.

As a member of the management team of Deltares Software Centre (DSC), you'll contribute to the operations, knowledge sharing and strategy development within the unit, and hence the broader context of Deltares. Once settled, we expect you to take on at least one large strategic management assignment in the DSC management team, next to your role as department head.
