Working for Westland

Working for Westland

Westlanders are what you would call ‘ordinary’. A down-to-earth people. Not too much talk, but action. Westlanders are not hot-rodders, but doers. Always have been. But that ‘ordinary’ has led to a few special things. For instance, that do-er attitude has made the Westland horticultural sector the most innovative in the world. And that go-getter mentality has made them the fifth largest economy in the Netherlands. That also presents them with challenges. They have to make choices and find a new balance in many areas in Westland.

A new balance between that growing economy and liveability for residents. A new balance between accessibility and a healthy living environment. A new balance between investing in people’s development and caring for those who have difficulty keeping up. And a new balance between ‘us knows us’ and a growing population.

If you work at Westland Municipality, you have to be able to deal with those challenges. That requires flexibility and an eye for a changing society. It requires wanting to grow along with the residents and businesses of our municipality, and seizing the opportunities of technological innovation. But it also requires paying attention to the welfare of all Westlanders. Above all, it calls for people who don’t think in terms of problems but in terms of solutions.

If you are such a person, you probably think that yourself is quite normal. And that is exactly what will make you feel at home with us.
