Simone van Hengstum currently serves as a Project Manager at Rijksvastgoedbedrijf, where she specializes in complex housing issues, particularly within the context of governmental projects. Her role involves not only project management but also strategic advising, ensuring that the interests of both the client and end-users are effectively represented throughout the project lifecycle. With a strong belief in the power of constructive collaboration, Simone emphasizes the importance of engaging all stakeholders to achieve comprehensive and sustainable solutions.
Among her key projects is the development of the Centraal Overheidskantoor St. Eustatius, commissioned by the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations (BZK) for the Public Entity of St. Eustatius and the Caribbean Netherlands Government Service. This project exemplifies her expertise in navigating the complexities of public sector housing, where she coordinates efforts across various governmental bodies to ensure that the facility meets the operational needs of its users while adhering to budgetary and regulatory constraints.
Another significant project under her leadership is the Kas di Hustisia, which serves multiple judicial entities, including the Court of Justice, Public Prosecution Service, Guardianship Council, and Probation Service. Here, Simone applies her skills in architecture, process management, and change management to create functional and efficient spaces that foster collaboration and enhance service delivery.
Simone's proficiency in project management, coupled with her insights into "Het Nieuwe Werken" (The New Way of Working), positions her as a key player in transforming how public institutions approach their housing needs. Her ability to manage complex processes and drive operational improvements makes her an invaluable asset to the Rijksvastgoedbedrijf and the broader public sector.
