Bergschenhoek, South Holland, NL (Hybrid)1 open job
Municipality in South Holland serving ~66,000 residents across three village cores, with domains covering corporate services, spatial planning and economy, and societal services.
Gemeente Lansingerland is a municipality in the province of South Holland, in the western Netherlands, serving roughly 66,000 inhabitants across three village cores - Berkel en Rodenrijs, Bleiswijk and Bergschenhoek, locally known as the B-Triangle - plus the hamlet areas of Kruisweg and Rotte. It was formed on 1 January 2007 from the merger of three former municipalities and employs 450 to 500 people. For security work, the shape of the organization matters: a compact public-sector IT estate carries the operational load of a local government that touches nearly every part of a resident's life.
That scope is where the risk concentrates. The municipality's three organizational domains - Bedrijfsvoering (corporate services), Ruimte & Economie (spatial planning, housing construction and economic affairs), and Samenleving (societal services covering youth services, healthcare, safety and living environment) - span systems that handle citizen records, permits, housing and mobility processes, and sensitive casework around youth and health. Lansingerland sits in the Rotterdam-The Hague metropolitan region and in the Greenport Westland cluster, and identifies itself as the "Home of Horti Science," positioning itself as one of the more innovative municipalities in greenhouse horticulture. Its stated focus areas are the large societal challenges: housing, mobility, living environment, safety, youth services and healthcare.
Governance follows the standard Dutch model: a municipal council, a college of mayor and aldermen (B&W), and the municipal organization that executes. The stated working approach is collaborative - with residents, entrepreneurs and organizations - which in practice means security decisions have to hold up across three merged communities, a range of external partners, and political accountability. Roles here are broad rather than siloed; the technical surface runs from internal corporate administration to domain applications serving spatial planning and societal services.
