Dutch water authority managing dike safety and water quality across river regions
Waterschap Rivierenland is a government water agency responsible for 1,100 km of dikes and water management across the Netherlands' river delta. The organization runs on a Microsoft 365 + SharePoint stack paired with TOPdesk for asset and maintenance workflows, supplemented by Revit for infrastructure design — a typical operational-technology footprint for large-scale civil infrastructure. Active hiring across engineering (17 roles) and operations (16 roles) with a senior-weighted seniority mix signals sustained capacity-building around dike reinforcement, high-water protection programs, and digital transformation initiatives.
