About Sweco and the Team

The world of tomorrow demands creative minds, smart solutions, and courage.

“Do you find it fascinating that in the Netherlands alone, there are over 1.7 million kilometers of cables and pipelines underground? And do you see it as a challenge to advise on the optimal outcome for cables and pipelines in various complex projects, together with the team, weighing all interests? Then I hope you want to be part of our enthusiastic team!”– Marit Westenberg – Team Manager Environmental Management
