Background

About Tom Dirckx

I am a motivated and reliable Project Manager with a strong academic and practical background in urban development and economic geography. My expertise lies at the intersection of urban planning, real estate development, sustainability, and the political economy of cities. I am recognised for my proactive approach, interpersonal skills, conceptual thinking and ability to deliver consistent results while managing complex projects. After completing my Vocational Qualification in Construction and a Bachelor's in Urban Development / Spatial Planning, I pursued a Master’s in Human Geography with a specialisation in New Economic Geographies, Ecologies and Business Innovation. This path has equipped me with strong research and advisory skills, process improvement experience, and practical project management expertise. Currently, I work as a Project Manager at the Municipality of Eindhoven, leading spatial projects that balance urban growth with sustainability and quality of the built environment. In this role, I collaborate with diverse stakeholders, manage multi-disciplinary processes, and ensure outcomes are achieved in line with strategic goals.
