Overview
Our roads connect everything with everyone. Wherever you drive, walk, or cycle, whoever you are, the road brings us together. This is only possible if those connections are safe, smooth, and sustainable for all road users in Flanders, now and in the future. We manage 7000 km of regional and motorway roads and over 7700 km of cycle paths in Flanders with heart and soul. It is about more than just roads. Think of tunnels, bridges, ecoducts, traffic lights, highway lighting, road markings… But also our Traffic Center, which focuses on traffic flows on the highways. With 1300 colleagues spread across 10 departments and 23 districts, across all Flemish provinces, we have a lot of expertise and local knowledge. We manage the road not only physically but also digitally. We are working on digital building models of our infrastructure (BIM) and with 'mobilidata', we are fully working towards a future where self-driving cars, smart traffic lights, and traffic-controlling applications are the new normal. Infrastructure projects are not realized alone. You do this together with many colleagues. You can always count on everyone. And everyone counts on you. We are a do-agency. Our job is not always predictable, and we respond quickly in our projects. Thanks to our positivity and open-mindedness, we always find solutions for unexpected things. And we learn from problems along the way and mainly remember the positives. The open communication culture and great accessibility characterize us. A pleasant atmosphere and the well-being of our colleagues are our priorities.Key Responsibilities
