About us

At PosadMaxwan we work on healthy, sustainable and smart cities. Together with our team of 40 urban designers, (landscape) architects and researchers, we design on the cities of tomorrow. At our office there's an informal culture and a relaxed atmosphere, but at the same time the quality of our work is very important. There is a high work ethic, but fortunately there is also room for humor and fun at the office.

You will work on urbanization strategies and regional visions in the Netherlands and Flanders and you will deal with themes such as the healthy city and smart mobility. Naturally you can indicate which themes you would like to focus on during your internship, then we will see what is possible.

We regularly have (online) fun moments with the team to get to know each other better.
