Gemeente Harlingen

Are you looking for a challenging job that leaves you feeling energised at the end of the day? Are you looking for a team of enthusiastic colleagues who are there for you and will go the extra mile when needed? And do you want to make our municipality even more beautiful, safer, more welcoming, more cultural, more adventurous and more enterprising? Then you are the colleague we are looking for.

Bordering the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site, Harlingen is a real draw for those who love wind and water. But it is just as appealing to lovers of its glorious nautical past. You can see that past reflected in the city, thanks to the beautiful warehouses, impressive façades, colourful inner harbours and on the menus of the many cafés and restaurants. Harlingen has been a home for generations.

The sea evokes a sense of freedom, which is why living and working in Harlingen is so appealing to many people. You can live in the picturesque town centre, the neighbouring residential areas, or in one of the beautiful villages of Midlum or Wijnaldum. Every part of the municipality has its own character, ranging from historic, intimate and distinctive to open and contemporary. Central to the whole of Harlingen is a safe and pleasant living and working environment, something in which the municipality continues to invest.
