Ready to help airports and aviation organisations navigate the transition towards a more sustainable and resilient future? Join NACO as an Aviation Sustainability and Resilience Consultant and contribute to strategic and multidisciplinary projects for clients around the world. Working alongside aviation consultants and sustainability specialists from NACO and Haskoning, you will connect expertise, translate complex topics into practical advice and help clients turn sustainability ambitions into action.

What you will do as Sustainable Aviation and Resilience Consultant

You will become part of NACO’s Sustainable Aviation and Resilience team, supporting airports, authorities, investors and airport organisations in addressing sustainability challenges and building long-term resilience.

As an Aviation Consultant, you will work on projects that combine aviation, sustainability and strategy. You will bring together NACO’s aviation knowledge and Haskoning’s wider expertise in areas such as climate resilience, alternative aviation fuels, ESG, energy, water, sustainable buildings, mobility and infrastructure.

You will work closely with subject-matter experts to understand complex technical issues, bring the relevant expertise together and translate the findings into clear recommendations for clients. Furthermore, you will also contribute directly to research, analysis and reporting.

Typical projects may include sustainability and ESG strategies, climate risk and resilience assessments, decarbonisation and alternative-fuels roadmaps, sustainability integration in airport master planning, stakeholder and materiality assessments, implementation programmes and cost benefit analysis of implementing sustainability or climate resilience solutions.

Where you will work

You will be part of the Airport Strategy and Planning practice in Delft and contribute to NACO’s Sustainable Aviation & Resilience services. You will work with colleagues across NACO and Haskoning on airport projects in the Netherlands and internationally.

NACO combines specialist aviation knowledge with Haskoning’s broad multidisciplinary expertise. This allows us to support clients across the full project lifecycle, from setting ambitions and sustainability planning through infrastructure design and implementation.

Our Sustainable Aviation and Resilience work covers areas including sustainability and ESG strategy, climate adaptation and resilience, alternative fuels, energy transition, sustainable buildings and the integration of sustainability solutions into airport planning and development.

You will contribute to innovative and impactful projects that help shape the future of airports worldwide. With a rich history as an independent airport consultancy, NACO brings together international aviation expertise within one organisation. As part of Haskoning, we combine this specialist knowledge with broad multidisciplinary capabilities. English is our working language.
