Make it happen

As a sustainability manager at Royal BAM, you will be part of a specialised Strategy Team advising our Executive Committee and senior leadership on our strategic direction. Sustainability is a core component of BAM’s strategy with a focus on social and environmental themes like social value, human rights, carbon emissions, circularity, climate adaptation and nature.

We are looking to expand our team with a sustainability manager to enhance our response to sustainability trends and maintain our industry-leading position. In this role, you will facilitate knowledge sharing, coordinate initiatives, and support the implementation of BAM’s sustainability strategy.

It is a small department that works independently to a large extent, but also in close collaboration with various sustainability stakeholders across the business. The role is based at BAM’s headquarters in Bunnik, but we offer the flexibility to work partly remote.
